    Monty takes it 4-1... that was a tough one though!! the 2 later votes for McD's shows how tight it could have been.

    Think it’s got to be The Big Night even though the other is really good too & probably would have got my vote before some of the others.

    I dont really consider the ESB one a christmas advert, so for that reason will go with McD's. Though fully expect ESB to win this one.

    Really like both ads but the ESB was, for me, never associated with Christmas so McDonald’s reindeer it is.
