It’s been a strong year, probably enough to do my runners up post in a week too! But also, a shout out to this Uber Eats advert, I’m not including it because I don’t think technically it’s a Christmas advert (it came out in September), but still worth a mention a) cos it’s excellent and b) because of its links to Christmas.
Waitrose
There’s been one advert that when it came out I sent to a load of people because of how good it was – and they were my winner by a long way last year too!
Aldi
After a decade, the Kevin the Carrot adverts don’t feel tired at all! This year’s came in three parts…
Google Pixel
Barbour
It would be hard for Wallace and Gromit to do a bad advert…
Tesco
They have a selection of adverts on a theme this year, so below should be the full playlist if I’ve done it correctly – but even if I haven’t, the opening video is a quick montage of them all!
Waitrose
My winner this year by a LONG way, it was great – leaving us on a cliffhanger for a couple of weeks before releasing the second part!
The Entertainer
An excellent music choice for humorous effect
Boots
Classic anti-patriarchy teasing
M&S
Dawn French playing Dawn French
Aldi
They’ve been doing Kevin the Carrot ads for several years now, but this still has some excellent jokes in it, even after all this time
Last week I brought you my five favourite Christmas adverts from this year, here are five that didn’t quite make it!
Sainsburys
Mostly for the charcute-tree pun!
Asda
This was a precursor to their actual advert, but I think I enjoyed it more!
Lidl
Disney
Boots
Happy December! It feels like a strong year this year, here are my top 5!
Marks & Spencer
This has been deemed controversial by some for a couple of reasons, one political and one PC, neither of which I think were strong arguments, but there we go.
I loved it – it made me laugh a lot!
Sadly the version on the M&S YouTube channel has been cut a few times to remove the things that have upset people; it’s now a shadow of its former self. I’ve had to post the video from the daily fail’s channel instead, but it’s worth it for the full joyful experience.
Aldi
Each year I worry that Aldi will have run out of ideas for Kevin the Carrot, but absolutely not, this year is a full on retelling of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory! It’s the little details that make it brilliant.
Tesco
Coca-Cola
Amazon
This seemed like a great idea and I kinda wanted to give it a go!
Five runners up to follow next week!
Last week you had my winners this year, hear are those who didn’t quite make it!
Here we go again! Here are my five favourite Christmas adverts this year – feels like a pretty strong showing this time around. Runners up will come next week.
Last week you got my top 5, here are the 5 that didn’t quite make it!
John Lewis
I think the only reason this didn’t make the top five is that I feel like someone else did a really similar idea in the last year or two
