Christmas ads

Toto Wolfcastle · 03-11-2013 7:53pm #1

A lot of the Christmas ads are starting to appear on TV now. Thought it would be nice to put them all in one thread so that we can see them all.

Just saw the Argos one.

I think the M&S one is due to appear this week so I'm looking forward to seeing that.

im waiting for the m & s ads with a ady skimply clad in sexy lingerie prancing around on a bed .

Toto Wolfcastle · 04-11-2013 8:25pm

M&S ad. There is lingerie but there is no prancing around on a bed. I'm not sure about it. It's not Christmassy enough for me.

Have to agree def not Christmassy enough. Feels more like an Easter ad than a Christmas one. Very disappointed!

M&S ad is a bit meh! They have been off form in the last couple of years.

The Argos Ad is a nice one.

When will John Lewis Ad be out? Well "By the end of this week, all the main retailers will have launched their festive campaigns"

Debenhams ad is here

AshAdele · 05-11-2013 11:26am

new Debenhams ad

didnt like the M&S ad, this one just shows the different cloths, not great, not very christmassy

AshAdele · 05-11-2013 11:31am

Littlewoods

AshAdele · 05-11-2013 11:32am

LIDL UK ad, saw this on TV over the weekend, its nice

AshAdele · 05-11-2013 11:48am

LIDL

AshAdele · 05-11-2013 11:50am

Primark UK

Toto Wolfcastle · 05-11-2013 11:53am

Don't like the Debenhams one either. If they'd chosen better music it might have been more Christmassy. The Lidl one is lovely and I love the Aldi one.

OU812 · 05-11-2013 12:28pm

I like the M&S ad, but what's with the cheap ass doorbell at 1:33 ???

I don't like the little woods one. Obviously the inspiration is A Christmas Carol, but the idea of spreading out payments for Xmas from this year to next is abhorrent to me. The lighting in the add is also really annoying. Everything is slightly gloomy before Carolyn Moyrahan (is that her name?) turns up & then if you spread the cost & pay the interest, it gets all warm & cozy.

Here's three of my favourite Xmas ads (both for American chain "Old Navy"), they ran last year & were super popular.

Actually Old Navy Xmas are all great

But for sheer sentimentality, the Guinness one. I get shivers when I see/hear this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWfdbYbDVzg

And on radio (I really think they should film this) Barry's Tea

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ab0-T0KkJzY

And how awesome is this product ???

I'd nearly buy a smart TV with you-tube just to have that on a loop in the background.

A V A · 06-11-2013 11:23am

its feels like christmas to me when i see that guinness add

A V A · 06-11-2013 11:26am

that new m&s is a bit of a let down , same with debehnams bt to me nothing beats the john lewis add

Toto Wolfcastle · 06-11-2013 11:29am

That John lewis ad gave me nightmares last year. So creepy. Looking forward to seeing what they come up with this year.

AshAdele · 07-11-2013 11:59am

2010

2011

2012

The first few years weren't great, but they have gotten better every year!
anyone know when this years is coming out?

Toto Wolfcastle · 07-11-2013 12:14pm

Aw I love 2010 and 2011.

I looked on their FB page and people are asking when the ad will be out and they just keep telling them to keep an eye on the FB page.

Toto Wolfcastle · 07-11-2013 4:53pm

This was on last year and it's back again this year. It's the American version but the one on TV over here is the same without the American accent.

It's definitely the type of ad that gets me all excited about Christmas.

That could be a classic. If someone just puts proper Christmas music over it.

AshAdele · 08-11-2013 10:14am

found the 2013 John Lewis ad on You tube, its really sweet

AshAdele · 08-11-2013 2:02pm

New boots ad

razorblunt · 08-11-2013 3:56pm

The John Lewis advert is good, I think they missed a trick by having someone "known" sing a cover version though, it was always nice hearing new voices be discovered.

Toto Wolfcastle · 08-11-2013 6:48pm

I'm not sure about the John Lewis one. I'm sure it will grow on me though. I love that Boots one. It's a real feel-good ad.

I like the Meteor one. I love the music and I want to wrap my kitchen in wrapping paper.

Cadbury has a Christmas ad this year.

Apparently the Coca-Cola ad is making it's first appearance during the X-Factor tomorrow!

Who sang the song this year?

funnights74 · 09-11-2013 12:21pm

Lily allen does a cover version of keanes somewhere only we know.The bear and the hare is the name of the Christmas tv ad, definitely a future classic.

Tesco Christmas Ad 2013

OU812 · 10-11-2013 3:51pm

There's a lot of "retro" this year

Don't like this one at all - not Christmassy enough

cailinardthair · 11-11-2013 12:25am

Love the new John Lewis ad....one of the few new christmas ads that makes it feel christmassy.....still think last years one is a classic.
Still in my head its not christmas till these are on the telly

Can't find the an post one but this is the closest I can

AshAdele · 11-11-2013 12:47pm

oh i love the tesco ad!!!!

Pumpkinseeds · 11-11-2013 12:56pm

I love the new John Lewis ad, it made me all teary eyed, it's just lovely and simple. I'm liking how they, Tesco and Debenhams are taking a simpler and less extravagant approach to Christmas this year, which reflects the fact that so many people are struggling financially.

The ones I've mentioned seem more focused on cheaper more thoughtful gifts rather than the extravagance of the M&S one.

Posy · 11-11-2013 10:46pm

I love the new John Lewis one too- I think it's adorable!

*has something in eye*

D4RK ONION · 11-11-2013 11:34pm

Tis very cute alright, I thought the one from last year was a bit more moving/grand/what have you; but it's still a really sweet ad.

LoganRice · 12-11-2013 12:56am

I like the M&S and John Lewis ads! Looking forward to seeing the Coca-Cola and Kellogs ads as well; they reel, or intentionally drag, in the spirit of Christmas.

we'llallhavetea · 12-11-2013 12:19pm

I'm a bloody wreck! I am actually sitting here watching Christmas ads and crying!
fcuk you John Lewis and don't even get me started on tesco!

Anyone who doesn't well up at the John Lewis ad is emotionally dead. I feel myself getting all emotional every time I see it. It's such a simple ad but so effective.
