Many British companies, especially those in the retail segment, have a tradition of creating special holiday commercials.
Some of them are rather wonderful.
Now, my husband, The Engineer, will tell you English adverts are better overall, and I tend to agree with him, though this certainly doesn’t mean there are no stupid ones. However, for the most part, British marketing departments appear to give their customers credit for at least a modicum of intelligence.
And when it comes to Christmas … well, see for yourself.
This Christmas will likely be one we remember for a long time to come. I’m sharing these to remind us to make sure some of those memories are happy ones.
Wherever you are and however you plan to celebrate, know that I wish you and yours a very happy Christmas. And if you don’t celebrate Christmas, perhaps you can celebrate the dark nights of winter growing shorter (at least in the northern hemisphere 🌞) now the solstice is behind us.
Let me know which ad is your favorite.

They’re all good, for different reasons. I really like the German DocMorris one, but John Lewis is traditionally the one that everyone likes best!

I like that one and the Irish one. Brought tears to my eyes. I’m so soppy!

I also like how the Brits always have Christmas specials for there TV shows. The Dr. Who and Downton Abbey Christmas specials always seemed like a big deal.
