What’s been your favourite Christmas advert?

I have loved the Sainsbury’s adverts over the last few years , for me, they have really got it ‘right’ and made me feel super Christmassy!

The Chanel one with Nicole Kidman is my fav and the John Lewis ones.

I hated, loathed and detested last years Sainsbury's one though. To top it off it had cordon singing on it. Ugh.

PJBanana · 12/10/2017 11:06

My all time favourite is the John Lewis snowman ad from a few years ago. I also really liked last year's Buster the Boxer one.

Got to be the little boy who can't wait to give his parents a present on Christmas morning - John Lewis?

When so they all come out?

ForeverTuesdayMorning · 12/10/2017 11:19

*do

tootsieglitterballs · 12/10/2017 11:19

I loved the snowman one for JL - that was lovely. They do really well with the music at JL.

Oh I loved last years Sainsbury’s one, can’t think of a Sainsbury’s one I haven’t loved to be honest!

The m&s one with Mrs Claus was very good, but also do love the ‘magic and sparkle’ m&s ones!

I’m a sucker for a good Christmas ad!

John lewis little boy giving presents
Sainsbury's mog

I liked last year John lewis bit not the bear and hate nor the man in the moon

BusterTheBulldog · 12/10/2017 11:23

Adore the bear and hare! I prefer the animal ones to human I think

AnyFarrahFowler · 12/10/2017 11:23

I can't wait til they start being shown!
I like the ones that make me teary, JL ones for example, but I must admit I prefer the more upbeat ones.

RuggerHug · 12/10/2017 11:42

The Lidl one where the family all work at doing up the old house for the Grandad.
The ESB one with the son returning home for Christmas.
Guinness 'even at the home of the black stuff, we're dreaming of a white one'.

I have something in my eye now....

Christmas in a day by sainsburys

John Lewis boy and present. And a snowman. Asda lights

TwinkleTwinkleLittleEtoile · 12/10/2017 11:59

Christmas in a day (Sainsburys) was one I really remember. There's a 45 minute version on youtube. Makes me feel all Christmassy!

BiddyPop · 12/10/2017 17:24

There is a radio ad in Ireland for Barry's Tea that always makes me feel Christmassy - about buying a train set.

The Boots one (I think) about the family gathering for the Nurse who worked all (Christmas Eve? Christmas Night?) night and surprising her with a family Christmas was lovely.

I really liked the Sainsbury's "No Man's Land" one, but I like most of theirs. Mrs Claus always makes me cry (M&S - it's still on YouTube) because the little boy does care so much for his big sister.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 12/10/2017 17:54

John Lewis "Snowman" one by a long shot.
And the M&S "Mrs Claus"

You DO realise I'm going to fritter away hours of my life searching these up on You Tube Xmas Wink

willothewisp17 · 12/10/2017 18:00

I think it's john lewis, the one with the little boy and the penguin? and the sainsburys no mans land one!

Frege · 12/10/2017 18:04

John Lewis boy with present and penguins.

tootsieglitterballs · 12/10/2017 19:42

@SideOrderofSprouts @TwinkleTwinkleLittleEtoile we love watching the full version of Christmas in a day! We actually watched it this morning!

SideOrderofSprouts · 12/10/2017 21:02

I have it on DVD as well!

SideOrderofSprouts · 12/10/2017 21:02

And who can forget the irn bru snowman

FlowerTink · 12/10/2017 21:50

I'm getting tears just thinking about the John Lewis Snowman one. And the boy who can't wait to give his parents the present!

I am ridiculously excited for JL's Christmas ad this year!

tootsieglitterballs · 12/10/2017 22:23

I really loved the mog Christmas advert! My DS loves it too - he’s got a mog and the book and loves it!

Also, you know it’s really Christmas when ‘holidays are coming, holidays are coming...’ comes on!

anyoldname76 · 12/10/2017 22:28

i love most of the ones already mentioned, didnt really like the man on the moon one though. i quite enjoyed the argos yetis last year but it wasnt really very festive

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 12/10/2017 23:07

Oh and the Waitrose Advert with the little robins

One years ago with the people coming home (started with the woman hanging a wreath on her door)

SuffolkBumkin · 12/10/2017 23:11

The one with little boy and his penguin, and the boy counting down the days so his parents can open their gift from him.

The dog on the trampoline was silly though.

scrappydappydoo · 12/10/2017 23:18

I liked the little boy John Lewis one and the penguin one. Hated the snowman one - reminded me of the weeping angels and didn't like the man on the moon one - too forced. I agree that sainsburys have got the balance right the past few years.

73kittycat73 · 13/10/2017 02:14

@ SideOrderofSprouts Have you seen the long version of the ad on Youtube? If it's still available (They took it off for a while but did put it back on.) I would recommend it. (Oh, lucky I read the thread before replying, just seen you and tootsie have seen it and love it too. Xmas Smile)
I like the Kevin the Carrot ones from last year. I also like the JL bear and hare. I also like Sainsburys Mog one. I love a good Christmas advert. Xmas Grin
