Christmas adverts

[Dailystuck71]

I’ve seen Very. Mark and Spencer featuring Paddington is out tonight I believe and Debenhams this week. I’ve seen a 4 second clip of what may be John Lewis but not sure when it is out.

Anyone seen any others?

Oh dear. No tear jeepers then

I don’t like the tear jerker ads to be honest. You’re not supposed to cry because it’s Christmas
I just wish someone would make one that was happy AND Christmassy, with a cheerful song that hasn’t been made all slow and whispered, some snow, a Christmas tree and laughter.
Most ads this year are one or the other, cheerful or Christmassy, not both

Wow. Did The Grinch steal sainsburys real Christmas advert and replace it with a big old pile of sprout scented faeces? It's so disappointing

It’s hard to get right I think - there’s a fine line between an identifiable Christmas (e.g. the typical JL present opening scene or the year boots did the night shift working Mum) and false/forced joviality (looking at you, Sainsbury’s).

I wasn’t keen on Sainsbury’s this year for that reason.

Good Grief, WTF is that Sainsbury's as all about?!

I like the Waitrose advert but not sure about the Sainsburys one. I like the idea of it but the rhymes are so cringally not a word shit that it doesn't work.

Dreadful the lot of them. Bloody overpaid ad agencies...

Need a bit of fresh thinking. I think the companies should get a laid of media studies students to do them.

Don't like the carrot one.

My favourite ones are Debenhams and Sky Movies, although haven't seen them all yet. John Lewis isn't bad.

I hope an advertising agency is reading this thread and reads Handbagcrazy's post. The adverts are trying too hard. We want a nice, simple Christmas advert.

Actually I could do you a real tear jerker with children in care or living in poverty enjoying Christmas ....no expensively schooled actors or CGI required. At least the £1 million could go towards something worthwhile.

My favourites this year are, Amazon, Barbour and Heathrow airport !

I’d prefer the Sainsbury’s one if there was a bit of colour in it... even just Santa hats in red would have been nice!

Sainsbury’s is my favourite! I really enjoyed it.

Don't like the Waitrose one at all, why the black & white? I like the Talk Talk family, they were filmed last Xmas!

Sainsbury's should just reshow the WWI Christmas truce one every year and I would look forward to seeing it again every year sad

Disappointed in all of them this year! JL totally phoned it in.

And shame on M&S for putting the possibility of someone burgling their Christmas presents into children's minds! That someone could be that low had never occurred to my DC before.

I like that House of Fraser one last year. It was fun and lively, weird dancing though.

I can't abide the cynical weepies. John Lewis had one good idea and should just play that every year. The Morrissey one. Absolutely inspired advert. The rest have been rubbish.

I like asda one this year.
