Favourite xmas Ad

cmcsoft

I don't know if this thread already exists but I'm just wondering what peoples favourite xmas ad is. Mine would either be:

The Kelloggs ad where the little girl wakes to find Santa
or
The Coca Cola ad with the trucks (holidays are comin!)

SoWatchaWant

Definitely the Coca Cola one. Basically the only Santa who ever looked halfway decent.

DirkVoodoo

Those M&S christmas (even regular food) ads. I don't know how they make everything look so tasty, because normally its no better than tesco.

I don't want to be too predictable and mention the coke ad, so I'll be slightly less predictable and say the budweiser ad: I don't think its changed in decades...lucky horses must be minted by now...or glue.

The Guinness one is artfully beautiful but it has to be the Coke one. It's like being a kid again.

asdasd

I like the one with all the snow.

Terry

I hate you.

The coke one or the beer one with the horses, forget the brand. Or the vodafone one (sue me). Hating the meteor one with the ross o'carrol kelly reindeer though.

Ya I forgot about the budweiser ones they're excellent. They had a new one out last year I think with horses throwing snowballs at each other didn't they!

Why so?

Lighten up, it's officially December. Tis the season.

KnifeWRENCH

All the usual ones - Coke, Budweiser, Guinness, Corn Flakes.
You know Christmas has truly arrived when those ads start.

I also love the one for the Post Office with the flying stamps, where they play "Walking In The Air". I don't know if it's still around.

Hmm....a Chritmas ad with a lot of snow?....

Don't think I've seen that one.

admiralofthefleet

the bud ad with the horses, the only thing i like about the beer piss. the one where the man eats too much is funny too

cmcsoft

I forgot about the one from the ESB had, where the son come home for xmas so I've 3

Post Office and Corn Flakes, but I don't know, its pretty unorthodox

Das Kitty

#Penny's, got a whole lot of things for Chirstmas, got a lot for the famil-eeee#

There used to be a TV ad where a bunch of elves were stacking toys, it's a long time since Penny's advertised on TV.

I can't wait until Stephen's day when the DFS / Reid new year sale ads start. I loooovve them. :P

Fave on at the moment is the meteor advert! Should have had one say "Iv done me metatarsal!!" . The bud and coca cola ones are class though.

Morrisseeee

For me its the Guinness add

The Master

Favourite xmas ads are the ones for the January sales that indicate that xmas is finally over

Guinness ad....pure class,always makes me meloncloy.

Zonda999

I loved that Budweiser ad up until a few years ago. Don't particularly like this years one

SarcasticFairy

I have to say I love the Coca COla one! Very origianl, I know! :P But c'mon, you know its Christmas time when you see the Coca COla ad!!

Dinter

The snowy Guinness one with the bells ringing and the an post snowman ad.

jobucks

can't remember the ad, but it had "driving home for Christmas" as the song.. think was Bord na Mona peat briquettes or something.
Oh and of course the cornflakes one with the little girl and santa.. ho ho ho... awwww

Yip agree. Any of the "classics" for want of a better word.

Tupins

Ugh - are ye talking about the corn flakes ad with the kid with the whiny american voice saying
"I don't know, this is very unorthodox" ?

Because children use words like this all the time - don't they?

Radharc na Sleibhte

Dunno, where she goes ho ho ho at the end. that's all i know.

Tupins

Yeah, that's it.

Just imagine that she was watching a lot of The Real Ghostbusters and she picked it up from Egon Spangler.

Doesn't matter anyway she's probably a smack addict at this stage, you know those showbiz types.

Das Kitty

Cornflakes, they're still showing it.

Meteor ads are brilliant, especially the Granny one that got pulled last year.

Haven't the foggiest, probably something to do with phones.

Ginny

Don't bud have a new one this year, the horses setting off all the lights in the town?

My favs are the Cornflakes, Coca Cola, the Vodaphone and the Guinness ones.

Lazybones

Nostalgia...I love it!...and I love Christmas too.....

Oh that ad gets me everytime.... hope it's on again this year.

I remember the first time I heard it I was driving home to my folks place - it just instantly 'felt' like Christmas...
