Aldis christmas advert

Yes, it all starts too early, but I can’t see it changing - it’s far too lucrative for the retailers as they push the consumer fest and frenzy, trying to convince us that we need this, that and another for the “perfect” Christmas and had better start in plenty of time whilst they’ve still got it, or else we’ll have a miserable Christmas season, with very disappointed family and friends!

"According to my chocolate Advent Calendar, it's only three days to Christmas!"

According to mine it is 2nd December. I have already eaten the 1st's chocolate. Just giving it a taste test.

Tesco is my favourite ad l feel uplifted when I watch it . The John Lewis ad I find depressing

Got to be the McDonald's one for me. Open your heart to the memories you're never too old. I'd love to experience the feelings of childhood again.

I agree that Christmas shouldn't start until December. Having said that I did go to the Chatsworth Christmas market last week and it was lovely! But if M+S and JL kept their TV adverts back until December, we 'd all be excited to see them,instead of getting fed up with them!

I so agree @Lilydrop ! The Aldi Kevin the carrot ads have knocked all the others out of the ball park for the last few years and this is their best one yet.
When my kids were small we all used to look out for the Coca Cola ads to start feeling Christmassy but now Aldi do the fairytale so much better for the grandkids (and Grannies and mums!)
But I also agree with other commenters though that Christmas is pushed far too early in the calendar.We all know when it is so allow us to retain some of the magic by not seeing tinsel in stores in September or being forced to listen to cheesy songs for 4 months prior to the event. I'd call for a moratorium on any ads before 1st December.

I don't mind when Christmas starts, (says she watching a Christmas film).

My youngest daughter adores it and has already put the tree up in the hall. Main ones won't go up until December 1st.

But I would have thought many people start Christmas shopping way before December and it's just a happy time for many.

Love the Aldi advert. Also love their response to the challenge from M and S regarding Cuthbert the Caterpillar Cake challenge which was humorous! So when I saw Cuthbert being arrested I was sold! Loved it

always loved Kevin the carrot but a very close second has to be the bouncing boxer

The Aldi advert is really great, but Christmas for me is when I see the Guinness black & white one they show every year. Hate the black stuff though....

lol I look forward to Kevin the carot advent every year to see what they come up with. A lot of the adverts have forgotten it’s Christmas time to be cheerful

Gosh, Alioop! I don't think I've seen a Guinness one!

This advert is by far the best I have seen in years! I agree though that the adverts should start on 1st December but some of our relatives have the christmas decorations up already. Maybe there is a need by a lot of people to just have fun and put the last couple of years behind us. Take care and stay safe.

Just watched McDonald's Xmas ad, it made me ?. Its my favourite Cyndi Lauper song.

The Aldi and McDonald's are the best I've seen so far.
I don't know how Iceland have got away with pinching some of the John Lewis ad.

Aldi tip top love the shop saves me money.

Sainsburys ad is pretty good too. Can’t stand that JL one.

As I am someone owned by Boxers, I loved the trampoline Christmas advert. I think the Boxer boy in the ad is now 10 years young.

I've only seen the Aldi advert of extended family playing with lots of identities all based round massive dead body of turkey...not good. I look forward to the veggie one when I see it

Can you do us a link to that please?
It doesn’t sound familiar.

Love the Aldi commercial. Lovely dig at M&S! A bit of light hearted silliness among the 'oh, we take ourselves s o o o o seriously' fare the other supermarkets have churned out.

It's lovely. And McDonald's adverts are always good! Very clever.

Yes, Tesco ad is also fab! Has a bit of everything thing, plus great Queen music. ?

zoejory the Guinness one is on YouTube. I tried to put on the link for you, but I'm rubbish at stuff like that

Well Hetty and Grannygranby, I like slabs of dead animals so wasn’t put off by the Christmas adverts. I think the John Lewis one is just awful but really love the Aldi one as I have done each year. I think this years is the best yet.

It's probably some subversive vegan spoof.
