I like it too, it's simple and the festive touch at the end, perfect.

That's all Christmas Ads need to be, nothing too fancy or over the top.

Anyone see this before? Its part of the 'backstory' to the John Lewis 2018 advert allegedly. Quite emotional IMO.

Even though there are loads of fantastic Christmas ads, I don't think any ad will ever beat the Coca Cola trucks for me!

Its a classic. Though my personal favourite is the Guinness one. I know its Christmas when I see that 'live' on TV for the first time each year.

My favourite one is not on the telly - it's the Barry's Tea ad that does be on the radio! It's my favourite! I just love it! Gives me goosebumps every time I hear it!

They've really missed a trick by not moving it to tv, it would still work.
Even nowadays with the fancy toys, the nostalgic feel will hit home!

Do it, Barry's!!

Oh no, I love that it's not on the telly! I think the radio makes it even more nostalgic!

No I disagree, I think the fact it's only on radio that lends to the magic of it all. It's so vividly described you can almost visualise it anyway.

I like that Curry's ad!

I actually realised this myself after I posted it.
The fact its on radio makes you picture the scenes all the more!

I retract my remark!

Argos Ad 2018..

Toto Wolfcastle

Kevin the Carrot it back.

Loughc

Love love love the Kevin ad. Love that it ends on a cliffhanger :pac:

Hate the Argos one. That’s not very Christmassy.

We must be watching the same thing! I just saw it too.... confused it with the coke truck ad

omb0wyn5ehpij9

I don’t like either of those ads. I especially don’t like the Kevin ad, it’s wrong to be using a truck in a Christmas ad if it’s not Coke! :pac:

Asda’s offering this year. I really like it.

Love this response from Coca Cola.

If you haven't checked out Aldi's Insta page yet, you should! It's very clever.

Posy

I'm surprised Aldi didn't have copyright issues with their ad!

chuckles30

I'm a big Kevin fan....and I love that he's back but I have very mixed feelings about the truck concept....it's messing with the classic coke concept. Thought Aldi could have done something original instead....after all they already have a great character to start with

I reckon the Coke marketing team was more than happy to approve it. Free publicity!

Don’t like it. I feel too sad watching it.

It’s a fan made project not a real John Lewis thing.

It’s really excellent, isn’t it? I was in tears at work watching it! But I did think that I wouldn’t like it as a John Lewis ad.

Throw back to 1985 here for this one. Hence the poor quality.

I hate the barry's ad on the radio, it's depressing as hell.

Especially knowing that the voiceover artist Peter Caffrey has since passed away

I feel Lidl have let themselves down here. Apparently they will have lots of little ones like this. Shame considering how lovely their ad was last year.

I agree with you LoughC, their ad last year was one of my favourites tbh .

That one you posted is like a generic ad with a Christmas Tree thrown in to make it Christmassy..

razorblunt

The Kevin the Carrot one is clever, hypes up Coke even more so they'll be delighted too.
They stole John Lewis' thunder 2 years back too by getting the slot before them and doing nothing more than having Kevin get excited about the JL advert coming next.

According to this the John Lewis as is out tomorrow

How can you get it so right one year & so wrong the next?
Lidl should have stuck with last years advert, it was an instant classic IMO.

Cripes, I'm bawling. Don't do this to me on a Monday morning!

PS Makes mental note, Focus Ireland, good charity.

Kiith

Ah come on...that's not something anyone needs to see in work on a monday morning :P

Extremely well done ad.

DvB

Hit me hard when I saw it first on youtube, but as LoughC said, it appears it has nowt to do with John Lewis & isnt a christmas advert. Even if the sentiment behind it is well intentioned & fitting for the time of year.

Toto Wolfcastle

No sign of the actual John Lewis ad yet?

Nope, I was thinking that rumour came out of nowhere, remember last year they had an ad teasing the actual ad... so I reckon when it does drop it'll be to much bigger fanfare.

Found this morning.

I suppose Barbour was a natural for winter festivity!

Day Lewin thanks for sharing the Barbour Ad I enjoyed that

Toto Wolfcastle

Interesting...

The Debenham Christmas ads are live on their YouTube channel now and honestly they’re so bad I’m not even going to share them.
