    Have just seen what I would call the first proper Christmas ad for this Christmas (if you know what I mean!) Didn't know which thread to put it in so started a new one ;)



    SO, I guess we can put in ones here that we love, signify the start of Christmas for you ( probably in November for me when I first see this ad, can you guess which one it is??? :pac:), or ones that just get right on our wick. So, when you first see an ad on TV post it here.

    Let the fun begin...

    I was about to put the same ad in here flutegirl! It's quite a nice ad although Caroline Morahan kinda annoys me a bit! :)

    Theyll be cOming thick and fast after Nov 1st so will keep my eyes peeled!

    The Coca Cola ad, of course. I've seen a few ads around already, although I never count them as the first Christmas ads.. coke always is, no matter what :P

    Air wick always advertises their Christmas ads fairly early, and I've seen B&Q advertising on channel 4 too to weeks ago. I thought it was rather strange, but I haven't seen the ad again since.


    On another note, does anyone else miss the Vodafone ad where everyone is skating down Grafton Street to A Nightingale sang in Berkely Square? I loved it, and then they redubbed the ad with something ****e last year. I was heartbroken...

    I shall be back later to link all my favourite ads :D

    Oh my God, cannot wait until I see that ad!!! :D:D
    The coca cola ad and the Budweiser advert with the horses in the snow are my two favourites! :D

    I LOVED that ad. So magical and Christmassy. I hate Grafton Street from November-January, with the chaos and mayhem and hundreds of shoppers, but after dark, when most places are shut and the lights are on and there's less people about, it's lovely. :)

    I never watch TV anymore, so I'll be relying on this thread (and forum in general) to keep me christmassy feeling. It's funny just how much of the early "WOO Christmas is coming" hype comes from TV ads and stuff on TV in general.

    There's a Christmas ad for that weird Pandora jewellery (Sorry if I offended anyone, just not a fan of it :p)

    It's not on youtube yet but will look out for it.

    Yep, this was the second one I saw a couple of days ago and went looking for it on youtube, the search threw up all sorts of weird and wonderful, erm, things!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,992 ✭✭✭flutegirl



    Now, see, I have to wait until I see this on the telly for the first time, and then I feel all Christmassy and want to wear hats, gloves, scarves and mittens, all at once if I could!!, :pac:

    Indeed it is. Thanks for finding it. I couldn't seem to find it last year, and it's just the bomb. :D You've made my day.



    This is definitely near the top of my list of favourites:


    Coca Cola are just the best at making ads

    I haven't seen this one in several years though...

    I nearly cried the year they started showing this one in favour of the trucks, twas not the same, but it's a nice ad, but the trucks have to come a-rolling along every year for it to be Christmas proper :pac:

    Saw the Merry Pringles ad this evening, can't find it on youtube :(



    Similar, but not the same I don't think.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,378 ✭✭✭Cherrycola


    They fecked around with the Boots song on this years ad though, sounds weird. Im not a fan of it or the ad this year either.

    I saw the merry Pringles ad too flutegirl, it was good.

    I think, finally, 'its beginning to look a lot like Christmas....!!!!':D:D

    Christmas only starts once I see this Guinness ad. Best christmas ad ever. I get that spine tingling feeling at the end when the woman whispers happy christmas!
