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!)
Lidl
After last week’s winners, here are those which didn’t quite make the cut
6: Debenhams
A cute, modern day twist on Cinderella, just slightly too much social media for my taste
7: Sky Cinema
8: ASDA
I liked the concept, but felt it could have been executed better
9: Tesco
10: Argos
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!
1: Aldi
2: Whiskas Temptations
3: Waitrose
4: John Lewis
Of course this comes with some excellent spoofs, one based on vermin, the other on the presidential election.
5: Lidl
I’d call this a fairly eclectic mix. I will put in a disclaimer early on that these are not all Christian songs – shock horror! I have put together a mixture of my absolute favourite songs that are justifiable to play at this time of year! We have Worship, Pop, Classical, Carol and Folk
What are your favourite Christmas Songs?
The People Who Walk In Darkness – Based on Isaiah 9, and just so celebratory!
Merry Christmas Everyone – I find it extremely difficult not to dance to this song!
Christmas Festival Overture – My favourite bit of this one is when Jingle Bells turns into O Come All Ye Faithful, it’s so clever!
O Come All Ye Faithful – Who doesn’t love a descant at Christmas?
Ding Dong Merrily on High – I love to just listen to the glockenspiel in this one!
Last week I shared with you my five favourite comedians, but this gentleman I left until this week so that I could share with you five of my favourite songs of his. Jay Foreman is a comedy musician. I discovered him when he was the warm up act for Dave Gorman who was featured last week, and he really was superb! Enjoy 🙂
The Sooty Show
Royal Wedding
