    Love both, but the Guinness advert is my favourite of all time, so that wins, every time.

    Another landslide...
    Shame as I adore that McDonalds advert, was easily the best of the 2020 crop.

    I know it makes no difference but my vote is also for Guinness. Boy these semi-finals are going to be tough.

    Noooooooo....
    I love both of these....

    Have watched both back and will go with the Bear & the hare purely because the bud one ends with wishing you & yours the best of the holiday season and I hate that american reference to christmas as the holiday season.

    Whichever wins though I have no issue with as I like both.

    The bear and the Hare please. Some of the Bud ads are real tear jerkers (The dog one) but JL always seem to knock it out of the park.

    Interesting that in our previous ultimate christmas advert poll Guinness & Bud tied for first place and both are still here, whilst An Post & Cornflakes who finished joint third in that poll have already been knocked out.

    It's nearly time! :D

    Some facts about our fab 4 in the competition.
    We have the top 4 seeded adverts playing today, so you might think the last 4 is no surprise!

    Our No. 1 seed Penneys trounced Air New Zealand, Quality Street 2009, took out John Lewis 'The long wait' before knocking out Denneys.

    Guinness, the No. 2 seed, saw off competition from TK Maxx's lil Goat, the Coca Cola 2006 advert, BBC One's Supporting Act and McDonald's 2020 offering- Inner Child.

    Budweiser, our No. 3 seed, has seen some of the closest contests, it knocked out Kevin the Carrot- Top Gun early on, whitewashed McDonalds 'Christmas Eve' and caused devastation by knocking the Heathrow bears, then the iconic Bear and the Hare out of the competition.

    CocaCola, our No. 4 seed whitewashed Doc Morris' 2020's Christmas advert, and Tesco 2013 and caused heartache before knocking out Lidl's adorable grandad :( an An Post's Let them Know.

    I'm going to go Coca Cola (though have voted for Penneys in earlier rounds so conflicted!)
