Aldis christmas advert

I LOVE all the Christmas adverts and LOVE Christmas ! I love Christmas films, Christmas dinner, Christmas decs, EVERYTHING Christmas !

Far too early, but Merry Christmas one and all !!!

groaning with FOOD... d'oh!

Look at the tables groaning with on these Christmas adverts and notice the complete lack of cutlery!!! Do they serve with their fingers??
Love the Aldi advert. Not seen JL.

Bah Humbug! The adverts start far too early and Christmas has lost its appeal as a result. I much prefer the continental approach.

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.

The families is Lidl, with the time travelling . Not Aldi, that might be why it’s not “ringing a bell”.

TanaMa, Boxers are my favourites - we had a lovely one when I was a teenager. I like a Christmas ad that makes me laugh - or at least smile - and JL's bouncing Boxer did it for me. My family, knowing this, presented me with the soft toy based on the advert and he still stands guard over my bedroom!

I saw the Aldi ad for the first time last night; it's lovely. They always do the best one.

I can’t link it but if you search for Offaly pub Christmas ad you’ll find it, it makes me laugh loudly. The latest is for 2020, hope they do one this year.

I would not say strict, just traditional. St Nicolas comes on the 4th of December, that is when a lot of Children get their presents. Children put a shoe outside the door which St Nicolas puts gifts in. Christmas is more of a family celebration and adults get presents at New Year.
The first year we were here I went shopping for DD age 10 and all the Children's Christmas stuff had been packed away and the shops were back to normal.
I got a quick lesson.

Surely you mean December 6 Felice?
Or more exactly the night of the 5/6 as the latter is the feast of Saint Nicholas?

I love the take on Dickens "A Christmas Carol" it is up there with the Muppets version.

Oh MaybeMaw that has just made me fill up, wow....

Oh dear MayBeMaw ???

Oh dear ?

So poignant

Kleenex alert

I defy you to watch this -the “alternative” JL ad - without shedding a tear.

It's probably some subversive vegan spoof.

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.

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

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

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

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.
