As soon as November 1st rolls around, the marketing world is awash with Christmas spirit – love it or hate it, there is no avoiding the festivities. Luckily for the ads creative solutions team, we’re all over it and eagerly wait for each brand’s festive offering!
Join us as we look across the best Christmas ads of 2023.
John Lewis
John Lewis’ Christmas ad is arguably the most anticipated advert of the year. 2023’s instalment sees Snapper, a Venus flytrap who becomes the “perfect” Christmas tree.
As always, the ad has become the talk of the town on socials, with the general consensus that this year’s festive offering from John Lewis isn’t the most popular!
M&S
M&S Christmas advert 2023: Hannah Waddingham, Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Zawe Ashton join Queer Eye’s Tan France in a very star-studded ad to kick off the festive season in style.
M&S Food
Say hello to Right & Left Mitten, also known as none other than Hollywood superstars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney! Festive Fairy Dawn French has waved her magic wand once again and brought these two new characters to life to bring mischief and fun as they experience an M&S Christmas food for the first time!
Sainsbury’s
This Christmas, one little girl asks one BIG question about the big man in red whilst shopping in Sainsbury’s – with guest star Rick Astley.
Barbour
Introducing Shaun the Sheep x Baa-bour, a brand new Christmas film that highlights Barbour’s Re-wax and Repair service – breathing new life into much-loved Barbour clothing!
Shaun and the Flock come up with all sorts of ways to give the Farmer’s trusty, trademark Barbour coat a much-needed makeover… before realising it’s a job that might be best left to the experts! Bringing together two iconic British brands, this lovely film shares a special message about giving with love and care this holiday season.
Boots
This winter, Boots wants to encourage the nation to give joy and show their appreciation to others. A Mum and Daughter go on a magical adventure and ‘give back to the givers’ who have helped them on their way.
TK Maxx
TK Maxx’s Christmas 2023 ad is set on a farmyard where even the animals are feeling the festive spirit.
Disney
Kick off the magic with Disney’s Christmas Ad, in support of Make-A-Wish®. ‘A Disney A Wish For The Holidays’, takes inspiration from the soon to be released Walt Disney Animation Studios movie Wish.
