Christmas ads

Toto Wolfcastle · 2013-11-03 18:53:41

A lot of the Christmas ads are starting to appear on TV now. Thought it would be nice to put them all in one thread so that we can see them all. Just saw the Argos one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qPyHD2NYhA I think the M&S one is due to appear this week so I'm looking forward to seeing that.

Don't know how they managed to keep straight faces while filming this one.

The little girl in the old Kelloggs cornflakes ad gets me every time - in fact it's bringing a tear to my eye just thinking about it!

Nope,not this fella.....

I never care for xmas ads,but whenever I see that upsetting commercial for Focus Ireland,where the homeless are walking the street looking at everybody else enjoying xmas,with the song "I am going home" playing-any time I see that I know I'm not "emotionally dead".

+1.
I like the John lewis ad myself but that Focus Ireland ad is like a cold hard slap in the face(in a good way).

This probably belongs over in the adverts you hate thread, but that ad for littlwoods with Caroline morahan where she transports a lady into the future to see her impending crimbo..........Man she is such an annoying person. I remember her one time complaining about how fashion "journalists" werent receiving the same respect as people reporting from war torn Afghanistan.

Just saw the Lidl ad on tv. I think we have a winner for best ad of the year and definitely a new addition to the classics favourite list.

Completely shows the times we're living in, I saw the Kelloggs Christmas Ad with the little girl on YouTube before I've seen it on the Tele. That and the Coca Cola ad are massive reminders of this time of year for me

Penneys Christmas jingle.

Still no sign of the TV advert; I wonder if it even exists in the archives? I had no joy when I contacted them recently.

As an aside, she was the physio to Harchester United years ago in Sky1s "Dream Team", and recently on TV3s fairly dire "Deception"
