John Lewis Christmas advert is out!

[Sheknowsaboutme]

And im a bit 😏 about it. Just doesn’t hit spot for me.

Its a bit played down to what they have produced in the past.

[theyips]

Oh and a heart shaped umbrella, candles etc. I do like the umbrella actually

[MrsWhites]

@Margaritawithlime sorry! 😂😂😂

[waltzingparrot]

They have a page on their website with info about it.

Phone won't do link.

[JamminDoughnuts]

it is quite nice, and appropriate. not too cheesy at all

[waltzingparrot]

Oh, phone decided it would do a link

[Rachetine]

I thought it was godawful!

Best one this year is this one from and Irish supermarket; I burst into tears.

[motorcyclenumptiness]

It's a good ad, love the animation, but it's not v Christmassy, there's no obvious merch opportunities and I don't feel the urge to spend money i don't have on shit I don't need

[JamminDoughnuts]

aw that Supervalu was so lovely

That's why I like it!

[JamminDoughnuts]

fabulous that they used graduates from Kingston Uni also

[motorcyclenumptiness]

Well thanks a lot Rachetine, now I'm a snotty mess

[steppemum]

well, I think any Christmas ad that doesn't acknowledge that this year is different is pretty crap to be honest.

It isn't that I particularly liked or disliked it, it is that it just ignores everything about this year, and about this Christmas.

How can they do that?
Where is the standing together etc?

[JamminDoughnuts]

they started with the theme in March, when everyone was being kind, so that is the theme, community spirit etc.,

[Madhairday]

It's okay, bit meh.

The McDonalds one though... 😭😭😭

[tywysoges]

Oh I like it. I love the McD one, possibly because my own DD’s entering that stage in her life and can relate to it. My favourite so far has been the Amazon one ❤️

[JamminDoughnuts]

meh to mcdonalds

[JamminDoughnuts]

amazon, despite myself, am crying.

[moronseverywhere1]

The best way all the adverts have recognised 2020 is the diversity in their casting or characters.

[GerundTheBehemoth]

The first link I found for it had no sound. So after I watched that, I sought out a version with the sound. It was definitely better the first time.

[diddl]

Amazon & McDonalds ads do nothing for me!

[ZeroFuchsGiven]

I quite like the Coca-Cola one.

[steppemum]

Oh my goodness. The amazon one is brilliant.
I am crying.

really summed up the mood of this year.

[LionessRoar]

Hated the John Lewis ad - such a shame as I usually love them. The McDonald’s ad did nothing for me - I’m usually a crier but don’t have kids so maybe that’s why
