Christmas adverts - which ones did you like most?

[EmilieT]

Hi everyone, 

I don't know about you, but over the Holidays season I'm always looking forward to the Christmas adverts. Every year, companies come up with adorable, heartwarming and funny ads that I can't get enough of! Of course not all of them are a success, but done well, a Christmas ad can be quite something 

Over the years, which Christmas ads did you like the most? Are there some from the previous years, or 2018, that you like particularly?

Here are two from this year that I found lovely:

I'm looking forward to see your favourite ones!

Off the subject, but on the subject.. 

In the good old days before mobiles, texts and data became an everyday occurrence(except today) I used to love receiving email containing jokes and memes etc.

The one I used to really look forward to / hate was the Christmas Lights Gone Wild my mate used to send me every year.

Love the video, had never seen technology do something so fabulous before.. still hate the season tho

It's festive so on topic, no worries about that

I had never heard of Christmas lights gone wild before @Anonymous so thanks for sharing the video - it's amazing what can be done with those lights, yet here I am struggling to setup my super simple tree lights every year

As if the lights weren't amazing enough.. to know that it was activated by tuning your car radio to a specific frequency as you passed, saved disturbing the neighbours was another big wow for me!

Kevin the Carrot isn't bad but am quite suprised they got away with it as at first I thought it was a new version of the Coca-Cola ad which I think is the point.

The John Lewis ad isn't bad and better than some of their output over the last few years but I bet it's cost them a small fortune in licensing fees as even their shorter ads have a track from Elton John's back catalogue.

The M&S 'what's your favourite' is quite a nice set of ads too.

The Amazon singing boxes are a bit irritating and tacky.

It's never really Christmas until you've seen the coca cola advert. That always reminds me of Christmas.  Just don't get the big hoo-ha over the John Lewis advert every year.
