Normally, we tend to gloss over adverts, but not with Christmas adverts! They're some of the best of telly during this festive period - filled with creativity and warmth. We've listed a few of our favourites, but just a warning, you might need to have a few tissues ready. 

DocMorris Weihnachtsfilm (2020)

 

OK, this is a right tear-jerker. We weren't sure where this was heading at the beginning but by the time you get to the end of this little film, you might find that you have a little Christmas glitter in your eye. For those of us who don't read German, the ending reads: 'So that you can take care of what really matters in life' and we think that's beautiful. 

Say hello to Rang-tan, Iceland (2018)

 

This advert was banned from British televisions for being a bit too political but we think it's clever in the way it highlights the destruction the palm oil industry causes, and how we should be a bit more conscious of our decisions. 

Give a Little Love, John Lewis (2020)

 

John Lewis' Christmas adverts are always much anticipated because of how great they always are, and this year is no different. For 2020, John Lewis have shown how important the kindness of strangers can be, a message that rings truer as we battle through this pandemic. 

From our family to yours, Disney+ (2020) 

 

Disney+ is new to the scene but they've already made an amazing Christmas ad! This one made us weep a little but the message is clear: don't forget your traditions. And also, look after your elders, they're special. 

The Lil' Goat, TK Maxx (2020) 

 

Lol, just lol. 


And just a little bonus, because most of us have grown up with this advert, here's the classic from Coca-Cola. 

Holidays are coming, Coca Cola (first shown 1995)
