Festa - The John Lewis Christmas Advert

Why is it awful? Reminds me of Little Shop of Horrors - Feed me. I like it though.

The JL advert is awful and will do absolutely nothing to help Christmas sales and excellent example of how not to attract customers. They are already making changes that reduce customer service, so partners can expect no bonus this year.

I've just been away to look at a few adverts and confess the M&S food one with the mittens drove me mad. The mittens (Left and Right) seem to be named opposite to the actual mitten they really are.
At first they are correct I think, but then the next scene they are wrong.

Whatever they want to sell me I'm not sure as the naming if the mittens is a huge problem for me

Has anyone else seen this one?

Amazon for me too, so far. Really not keen on the Waitrose ad with Graham Norton.
What about Kevin the Carrot and the rip off of Willie Wonka?
Overlong, imho.

Didn’t like it. Give me Kevin the carrot any day.

Loathe it.

Amazon wins this year

They've taken over John Lewis's crown 👑

The Amazon Xmas ad - "Joy Ride" should be commended for focusing positively on old women.

Tagline is "Life is a Party"
As good as M&S - but only because of the music.

I like it. It made me laugh. Pity there was no dad on the scene though.

Has anyone seen the Shelter “ad”? Now that really is a tear jerker.

I liked it.
I am very soppy, and felt sorry for a sad Venus fly trap. Eheu.

Love it (the JL advert).

Centred round a child and his love for the plant he’s nurtured, family coming together at the end despite misgivings. Message, being inclusive, celebrating Christmas and difference together. With humour, and a bit of glitter.

I don’t think it could be further away from the crass, stomping “celebrities” of the M & S effort.

You need to come up North we can show you snow

Talking of Christmas adverts. What do you think of the Amazon advert, where 3 older ladies relive their childhood by sledging down a hill.
Personally I think this was made with the US/Canadian market in mind. Considering the billions of pounds profit they make in this country couldn't they have given us something a little more appropriate to the U.K.
I live in South West Wales, we very rarely see any frost, let alone snow. Rain of course by the bucketfuls.

Oh I love it, but (whispers) it's a very similar message to the m and s one.

Didn’t like it at all. They showed it on TV just now and both presenters were like me.

Love it. Another one which had me laughing through tears.

This is so much better than the dreadful M&S one (the one where the strap line is do what you want or thereabouts).

I've not seen any Christmas adverts yet!
