Hands down the Waitrose one for me! Its like an ad and a mini series in one

Probably explains why the John Lewis one is so shit this year!

Oh I really really don't like the Waitrose one. I have only seen that and the JL one - which was equally awful - just in a completely opposite way! 🤣

Definitely the four minute version of the Waitrose ad! Just like a mini rom-com and I love it 😁 All the other ones feel like ones I've seen before!

Love Tesco - HATE Asda

None of them at the moment. Meh about this one but DH likes the first 10 seconds because the singing along then suddenly effing at the traffic is the sort of thing I do in the car 😂

In Ireland so we have different ads. I looked up the Waitrose one yesterday and I love it. I hate the Aldi Kevin the carrot on his stag do. That’s just complete shite. There hasn’t been many on yet. My favourites are the Guinness ad and the Spar ad with the Christmas trees.

Agree that is Waitrose. I love it! But I do also like the Aldi cauliflower dog

I know it's not a brand new advert for this year, but I absolutely love the Amazon one, with the old ladies sledging; but I really hope they start showing the full-length one again once the Christmas season arrives - the one where you see their beautiful smiles as they remember themselves as young girls again, and the song doesn't change abruptly.

Personally, I think that showing Christmas adverts too early just spoils it and detracts from the specialness of the occasion, as by the time Christmas is actually on the horizon, it feels like it's already been around forever. I know it's just all about sales for the big businesses, mind; however, I would happily watch the Amazon ad all winter, as it isn't particularly Christmas-limited in the first place.

Worst one for me is the Asda advert, with the overexcited Grinch who looks like Gary Barlow. Not only is the ad itself deeply irritating, but they're trying to make out that they are a really cheap shop, when that just isn't true.

They could at least start with bringing back the Asda Reward Card savings that mysteriously vanished abruptly some while back; and also by not rolling the prices forward first, in preparation for 'rolling them back' to the previous (not especially cheap) price.
