Naughty, naughty Waitrose

Hiding the brief about Christmas ads so that their colleagues at John Lewis didn’t get it while Waitrose nailed theirs

Are we meant to magically know what you're talking about?

Only if you’re invested in Christmas ads. Otherwise I’d scroll on by 😁

Did Waitrose have a Christmas ad too?

IdentifyingAsAWoollyMammoth · Today 11:05

Waitrose has had its own Christmas advert for some years. But not quite sure what the OP's vague post is actually trying to say.

Huh? You been drinking OP?! 😆

Nice ad, though I hope Keira would never fall for Rupert's shallow charms.

PrincessofWills · Today 11:54

They definitely nailed it, how sweet 😃

Gets my vote as the Christmas winner 💕

Love it!

Yeah, that's what we need from a Christmas ad! I do still quite like the TK Maxx one, but Waitrose have the edge. 😁

Awww - love it. I think the M&S one is better, though.

Thanks for posting op, I hadn’t seen last years so it was nice to see both.

Lovely, I seem to have got some dust in my eye. Need tissues.

Loved it.

(Watch last year's first if you didn't see it or have forgotten it. )

Thank you for posting those!!

I still feel I'm missing a big chunk, if anyone wants to fill me in, why were they together in last year's advert but I had split up in between??

Unfortunately, I have to go out now, but I'll be back later!!

still not understanding WTAF the OP was on about??

The John Lewis advert this year is shit!

I don't think it's the OP you need to be thanking!!

Love it. So much better than the John Lewis one.

Will look it up later on!!

Best Xmas advert series I’ve ever watched

ThaneOfGlamis · Today 12:20

That was bonkers! Loved it 🎅

Ahhh, the ad is so sweet! I normally don't like the "he gets the girl of his dreams" thing but they somehow made it really nice. Keira's a great actress, and Phil lucked out didn't he? 😂
PS: I also agree making homemade food is love, so you're not wrong there Waitrose.

OrangeFlowerWatering · Today 12:23

Think OP is just making a joke implying that the Waitrose ad is good while the JL one is not.

Mumof1andacat · Today 12:26

Very sweet. I like the Debenhams and m and s advert
