Best Christmas advert this year?

[mumofoneAloneandwell]

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!

🎄🎄🎄🎄

Lots of nice refs to 4 weddings in the advert.

I spotted 'they're all of me!' (about the biscuits Keira makes for Joe) and 'I look quite pretty' (Joe watching the edits of the ad). Also the central conceit of a fictional character going out with a real life star (Keira/Claudia).

It's a good ad because they are able to expand it/take bits of it and run it across several media platforms.

Very serendipitous that Joe was popular on Traitors this year - and Keira is everywhere at the moment. A candidate for next year's celeb Traitors?

I've had to You Tube most of these, some are OK but being very old I think that JL 2011 is still my favourite and we never did find out!

I join others in hating the ASDA one and have a question.

The Grinch bloke, in his second sung line, refers to "Spenny gifts". I've googled and am none the wiser - anyone have a clue what this means?

I think some people use 'spenny' as a cutesy way of saying expensive.

Spenny = spendy = expensive

On that note, I was in M&S yesterday and they have a whole section labelled 'Picky Bits'. I'm not sure why they are trying to make picky bits happen, but it sounds 🤢

I don't think I can go in there and risk seeing that.
