I’m driving home for Christmas
Oh, I can’t wait to see those faces
I’m driving home for Christmas, yeah
Well I’m moving down that lineAnd it’s been so long
But I will be there
I sing this song
To pass the time away
Driving in my car

1. In Amazon‘s ‘Give‘ Christmas ad by Lucky Generals U.K singing cardboard boxes send a smile to everyone!
2. Sherlock star Martin Freeman was involved in ‘A Christmas love story‘ with a mysterious woman he met at the train station in a new series of short films for Vodafone created by Ogilvy&Mather London.
3. Titled ‘Sway,’ the Apple new holiday ad released by TBWA Chiat Day U.S features a snowy, romantic, dance-centric music video set to Sam Smith’s ‘Palace’ aiming at making you fall in love with the iPhone X and AirPods!
4. Watch how Yellow saved Christmas and brought people together in the ‘Faint 2: A Very Yellow Sequel’ M&M’s commercial from BBDO New York and CLM BBDO Paris, which is a sequel to its iconic ‘Faint’ holiday spot aired 21 years ago! I can’t believe we waited so long but it’s worth the wait!
5. HP encourage you to use your imagination and creativity to make someone’s day happier this holiday season in their Christmas ‘Reinvent Giving‘ ad done by BBDO San Francisco. And with the HP Spectre x360 you can add a touch of maigic to your magnificent creations!

La due è divertente, ma la pubblicità numero 3 mi incanta sempre: per l’atmosfera suggestiva, per il fascino della complicità di un incontro, per il talento dei danzatori….chissà perché fin dal primo momento mi ha fatto venire in mente Bologna…:))
Forse perché Bologna ha la stessa complicità e qualcosa di magico?! 😉
I love the Heathrow Airport Christmas ad this year, not been as amazed by John Lewis’ one as I usually am x
Great choice Rhian!
quello della Apple è bellissimo! mi ha conquistata da subito la storia di due persone che si incontrano e si perdono l’uno nello sguardo dell’altra. Meraviglioso!
Molto carino anche quello della Xmas love story. poco retorico e divertente!
PS: mi sono mancati i tuoi articoli!
In realtà i protagonisti dello spot sono marito e moglie nella vita reale! 🙂 Quest’anno le campagne sono più romantiche! P.S. Grazie per il commento e le parole meravigliose! Ci tengo molto! Buon Natale!
wow, I like Christmas ads! but I like M&M’s video because I like chocolate. I though they messed up Christmas but it brings the people together.
haha, who can resist chocolate! 🙂 Glad you love their commercial!
Ive only seen the Apple commercial on Youtube and really enjoyed the visuals. But have yet to see the rest of them. I’m so intrigued about the Martin Freeman one as I really love his work.
Martin Freeman is so romantic in this ad, worth watching it!
I only liked the HP ad and Amazon Ad. It really was compelling for me. And captured what it is meant by brand during holidays.
Glad you liked them Aditya! Merry Xmas!
I think John Lewis did a great ad again this year, I love Moz the Monster!
This ad is also amazing!
I can never decide if ads for the Super Bowl or those during the holidays are more creative. I’ve smiled through them all and while the Sway by Apple was romantic and clever, the cute and funny M&M’s stole my heart. I wish for you and your family a very Merry Christmas. x
I hear you Ali, same for me! Brands do they best to inspire and surprise us! 🙂 Thanks for the wishes, Merry Xmas Ali!
These are so cute! I did a Christmas chart on Shorthand Social last year with favorite decoration, favorite Christmas song, show episode etc. I never thought about Christmas ads! You’ve inspired me for next time, thanx.
They are lovely !! I liked the Faint 2: A Very Yellow Sequel’ M&M’s, Hp and Amazon ads. and haven’t see remaining ad, I will surely watch all of them mentioned here in the post.
Holiday ads are either really crap or really great. I think some advertisers usually know how to capture your heart and send the message home, like these ones.
this was such a fun post to read / watch! Got me right in the Christmas spirit – since I do not have a TV it’s nice to be able to catch up on all these ads. Thank you for sharing!
I dont watch TV anymore so I am not really up to date when it comes to adds. But I remember that I used to love a good and witty Christmas add. Thanks for sharing!
I don’t have cable so I never really watch commercials, but these do look great! 🙂
Amazon gives me all the feels over Christmas time, well actually any holiday time. Some of these are so cute!
For me, Apple’s commercial was AWESOME! I just LOVE it <3
I personally loved M&M commercial , it was beautiful how yellow saved Christmas. Even the Amazon ad was great to watch for. Need to see the remaining ones though.
Probably because of the season rush I almost did not notice most of these ads, but thanks to you I pause and realize I am missing something somewhere. For me, M&M’s always post the cutest ads, I just like those peanuts and chocolate guys.
Thanks for the interesting post. Christmas is the season for commercials. It won’t be long before Christmas ads begin running before St. Patrick’s Day. lol
Good choices. I like Apple’s sway ad! Thanks for sharing!
I rarely watch TV so I don’t know about most of these ads, but m&m’s would be my fav because, chocolate ♥
How cute are these ads! I fell in love with the Apple ad, it’s so romantic! Great collection! 🙂
The romantic in me loves the Vodafone ‘A Christmas love story’ series. It’s so funny how his family does exactly the same as mine whenever there is any prospect of a love interest on the horizon 😀
I still can’t believe the old M&M spot occurred 21 years ago. Seems like it’s impossible it was that long ago. Very cute. My favorite ones were the Martin Freeman ones. Not only is he in Sherlock but he’s in one of my favorite Christmas movies, Love Actually.
I’m living over in Europe, so I don’t think I’ve seen any of these. I always love the M&M ads though!
Christmas Ads are always great!! I love the one by Amazon & Apple
Thanks for the interesting post. Christmas is the season for commercials. People make huge profit in those days.
Nice article with good animations and I love the Xmas ads!!
Great choice, really interesting adds, the one with M&M’s is my favorite !!!
thank you,In fact, everyone enjoys Christmas holidays.
For me, I liked the fourth ads Faint 2: A Very Yellow Sequel’ M&M’s
The m&m commercial sequel was my favorite this Christmas! I could not believe how long it took for it to come out. Still love those 2 little guys!
aww i like them all mostly the amazon one the best
I love Christmas ads, especially the m&ms, as much as the Superbowl ads we all wait for.
I loved watching these Christmas ads. It was like revisiting this wonderful time of the year. Since I am an M&M fan. I must say that it was my favorite!
