Christmas Adverts

[QueenOfIce]

When will JL air I wonder and will it be all modern telling us all how to be nice etc or will it be a good old fashioned feel good advert?

I can't believe Mariah agreed to a walkers ad, she barely ate that crisp!

n which case why is there a random dragon living in a town, and how does he afford to pay the rent / mortgage on the house.  I have so many unanswered questions, the AD makes no sense. 

Watersheep - I think in children's fable-land this kind of stuff doesn't matter. I mean, why did a random Tiger come to tea?

If you want to go deeper people could take a refugee community vibe from it (like Paddington) where you are different but can always bring something to the table (literally the table in this ad!)

I prefer the JL advert over Sainsbury. The Sainsbury was a bit dark at the beginning, whilst JL was sweet.

I don't like the Sainsbury's one. It was dark and miserable and does not make me feel at all festive. I like the John Lewis one but I suspect there will be ones I prefer when I eventually see them. Ds is obsessed with dragons at the minute though so he is going to love the Jl one!

The John Lewis advert is much better than their advert last year. It gives a nice warm feeling and kids will like it.

I just watched the Sainsbury one , very good , bit Christmas Carol and the black/white works well with the oranges .

I like the John Lewis one ( trouble is they always cut the adverts they show the epic full length for a week or so , then the short version) . The girl is beautiful, like the female heroine in 'Brave'

Aldi meh

Asda one is sweet

I'm underwhelmed at the M&S Food one , love the Christmas Jumper one though.

Surely M&S have a Christmas Advert proper though, not just food'n'sweaters ?

I love the JL one, and my dragon obsessed kids will be beside themselves with excitement for it.

I havent seen the coca-cola one yet, usually i know its been on as i get a chorus of "xmas is coming" posts across FB.

Aldi is meh. Sainsburys was nice but a bit odd.

I'm abit underwhelmed by all the Xmas adverts. None make me feel as happy as the singing Sainsbury's ones- the animated one with James corden and the school concert one we're just fantastic and uplifting. Not getting that feeling from JL, Sainsbury's or Aldi- aldi is terrible tbh!

Not only do I love the JL one, im super impressed the welly boots go up to a size 4. Already ordered....for me. Don't care if im 34, my barbours have a split and these look bloody brilliant!

I am however unimpressed that in previous years they had someone read the story book and not this year - I really liked that approach. This has no verbal dialogue (like most) so anyone with sight loss will have no idea whats going on. I do wish companies would think a little about ALL their customers when spending stupid amounts on marketing. I'm going to go on my own private rampage about inaccessibility in marketing and shops in general

I like the new Ikea one. Completely different from the others and made me smile instead of cry.

I really don’t like Sainsbury’s ad this year, I think it would have scared me as a child. What’s wrong about showing the public the festive food you’re selling? You’re a supermarket fgs.
I just like the M&S jumper one so far, that song literally does make me want to jump around!

That Ikea one is ACE!

Those nodding snail salt and pepper pots crack me up!

the IKEA ONE IS AMAZING.....not really Christmas, but fun anyway...

If your house was car... it would get pulled over...

this very very, very very, very very very unacceptable!

I think anything goes for Christmas these days. I think there is a bit of pressure to have the perfect Christmas 'dressed' house as well. I think Ikea have summed it up perfectly. Very funny.

Ok. I clearly need to watch more telly
