Ответ:
The first, second, and third sentences that are given above sound correct because their modifiers are placed just right. Only the fourth sentence sounded awkwardly and confusing, because the clause "who lives in New York" is improperly separated from the subject "My aunt", which must be described in the first place, and not the "holidays".
The sentence will sound and can be understood better if it is written this way,
"My aunt, who lives in New York, is coming home for the holidays."

Explanation:
There are some simple rules to follow when using punctuation.
Rule 1: Use a comma between two long independent clauses when conjunctions such as and, or, but, for, nor connect them.
Rule 2: If the clauses are both short, you may omit the comma.
Rule 3: If you have only one clause (one subject and verb pair), you won’t usually need a comma in front of the conjunction.
Now, lets see what statements in your question need commas.
Does statement 1 need a comma? ❌
It doesn't need a comma, because of rule 3.
Does statement 2 need a comma? ✔
It needs a comma, because giant and impersonal both modify corporation.
Does statement 3 need a comma? ❌
It doesn't need a comma, because hot and new both modify movie, common sense says a comma is awkward in this situation.
Does statement 4 need a comma? ❌
It flows well, without the need for a comma.
