Gosh it was a tough one this year – I guess companies have had plenty of time to come up with decent advertising campaigns! I have managed to narrow it down to my five favourites below, some made me laugh, some made me emotional, it’s a good mix. Enjoy!
Walkers
Deliveroo
Aldi
Two videos because it comes in two parts!
Papa Johns
Well I’d happily back any company wishing to spend their money this way instead!
It’s back! Advent starts tomorrow and I think all the major companies have released their Christmas adverts now, so here are my top five for this year! (Next week I’ll share five that didn’t quite make the list…)
Sainsburys (mostly for Plug Boy!)
KFC
Waitrose (it was a tough call between the below and this one)
Aldi (Other entries this year here, here and here!)
It was a tough one this year, my shortlist was about 10, and I’m still not sure I’ve got it right – I don’t know if I should penalise some for being nothing to do with the actual company they’re advertising, or what about companies I’ve never heard of – but after much deliberation, here are the worthy winners! (Results from previous years can be found here)
1: McDonalds
I absolutely loved this, though my colleague and I debated the ending as he wasn’t so impressed. We agreed that maybe the Dad should have taken the cheeseburger for himself if Father Christmas only eats mince pies….
So here we are, the top five! Last week I gave you those that didn’t quite make it, and now, in a slightly rough and very changeable order, here are my five favourite Christmas adverts this year!
The competition for best Christmas advert is so strong this year that I’m having to do a runners up list! I’ll save my top five for next week, but here, in no particular order, are those that didn’t quite make it!
Something else that’s become something of an annual tradition – my Friday Five Favourite Christmas adverts from this year 🙂
Mulberry
IKEA
Sainsburys
Lidl
Asda – this is mainly for the car covered in fairy lights 🙂
I haven’t put John Lewis in this year, mainly due to the science issues….! That said, a good remake has been done, so as a bonus, please enjoy the below:
