Ads on TV were always a part of the run up to Christmas for me.
As somebody now living abroad where Christmas is more of a curiosity than a celebration, don't underestimate the power of this thread for somebody like me. Especially when I can click a few buttons and have the add displayed on my TV (thanks Chromecast).
Freaking the wife out here.

I hate to admit it but I was slightly disappointed with this year’s crop of new Christmas ads, but I love the Tesco one. It really captures the excitement of Christmas in my opinion. The decorations, the lights, all the prep and the over excited kids, I love it. It’s a good old fashioned feel good Christmas ad.
I know I am in the minority in thinking this but I think the John Lewis ads have become slightly over hyped and samey :eek:. The ad is cute but not Christmassy enough for me. I think their ads have become more about how will we make people shed a tear this year than about Christmas. Can’t wait for some of the classic to come on, the Guinness ad can never be beaten as far as I’m concerned. Pure Christmas classic. 0 -

The 2013 Tesco ad is still a favourite of mine! God bless Youtube for holding onto memories!

I don't really get why a small child- who is still young enough to play with soft toys and have a favourite 'teddy' is looking wistfully at couples kissing and hugging and feeling his penguin must be lonely and need someone to love.Pumpkinseeds wrote: »I'm very disappointed with the John Lewis ad. It's essentially a child with a penguin and Christmas seems to be an after thought.
I don't ever recall feeling that my teddy bear must have been sad because he was romantically unattached.

This will always be a classic. Its amazing really, how a short uncomplicated ad can be become such a recognisable classic that has never really aged after all these years. 0 -
That's my all time favourite John Lewis ad.WittyNameForMe wrote: »I think this was a classic from John Lewis and ever other year's ad has been an attempt to replicate the feeling and buzz created by this one. This one is definitely included in my list of classics. 0 -

Exactly the whole vibe of the ad just feels forced somehow. Child, teddybear, imaginary friend. Its just slightly clichéd somehow.0 -
Yes that's still my favourite John Lewis ad to date! The 2011 one that is. I never realised Posy sneaked in ahead of my reply :P
Can anyone remember the old McDonalds ad, where they showed a closed McDonalds and they were advertising Christmas was the one day they close, I would love a link to it.
McDonals are another company who usually get their Christmas advertising right in my opion. That ad where McDonalds is closed and it has the tag line of everyone should be home on Christmas day (along those lines anyway ) was very touching. I really liked that one 0 -
