CHRISTMAS ADS

It is November 25 and I am listening to nothing but Christmas hits.nl, I have already draped the lights over the mantel at home and also my first Christmas dinner of the year I have already been able to check off. I can't help it, I just love this season intensely. Okay, except for the bike rides home in the pouring rain, the ice-cold feet in bed that I can't warm for anyone, and the runny nose that just won't go away. Last weekend I visited Intratuin (okay, suddenly losing image) to admire the huge Christmas village with my nephew and niece (a good excuse though). I can tell you: the Roy Donders level was high. And yes, from that moment on Chris Rea is playing through the speakers. At home, in the car, and at the office. And while I type this, I am sniffing the Rituals scented candle that May has placed in front of me (the holiday special edition) and I take a sip of my coffee with speculaas spices. Love it.

Because I also want to take you along in my Christmas enthusiasm, I have lined up the cutest Christmas ads for you. Our neighbors can do it, you know... My colleague on the left is already starting to sigh, because for the thousandth time on repeat. But gosh, they are so cute.

Sainsbury’s

The best gift you can give your family is TIME. Thus Dave.

Marks & Spencer

The Christmas lady is this time the main character in the story of the supermarket giant. And indeed in a tight red outfit climbing out of a helicopter to slide down the chimney. Sexy as hell.

John Lewis

If you have seen this video, I am sure you will also want that whole herd of little creatures under the Christmas tree in December.

Waitrose

Almost eerily, this video seems so real. It’s about a sad little bird trying to find its way home, encountering a female, and the rest you can just watch yourself.

Boots

Boots is the king of making Christmas commercials. And again this year with the main role: the woman. Who this time just has to earn her money during the Christmas days. Watching is at your own risk, because I had a tear rolling down my cheek.
