Christmas adverts.
 

I have looked through and can’t find a thread.:shrug:
Anyhow, I have just watched the John Lewis advert and I am now a wreck.
The music and the whole story…beautiful, very tear jerking.

Lovely to see none commercial adverts all the time.

…:love:…

Slight tangent but Disney started installing Christmas decorations 1st November !!

In fact they were spraying snow on buildings and rooftops late October .

Interestingly they are playing Christmas music but only instrumentals for now - which is ok ..

:bawling:

Aw....that is lovely:love:

Wow what a return to form for JL

Beautiful ad :love:

Is that their actual advert tho?

Oh good point, it doesn't look like JL have actually released their ad yet so that's disappointing. It's a fraud

Awww :love: :bawling:

I mean when everyone was white I did wonder...

It is their 2024 xmas advert.

…(…I believe…)…that the actual commercial/please buy my products John Lewis Christmas ad is centre on a pink sweater…I have seen bits of it but not the whole thing atm…the beautiful send me a sign one above is a charity one by Sam Clegg and inspired by the John Lewis ads…this is the info given on YouTube below it…

Introducing the 2024 charity Christmas video and advert, inspired by the heartwarming John Lewis Christmas adverts. The charity single, "Send Me a Sign," has been created to make a meaningful difference. Every £0.79 purchase of the single will go directly to two UK-registered charities, Re-engage and Friends of the Elderly, helping to bring support and companionship to those facing loneliness every day. Please share the advert if you enjoyed it! I created both the video and song from scratch on a budget of less than £500, aiming to raise awareness.

Your contribution could make this season brighter for so many. Buy "Send Me a Sign" today, and let’s make 2024 a year of hope and connection for those who need it most.

Here is the link to purchase the single on iTunes: https://music.apple.com/gb/album/send...

…it’s very beautiful and perfect in the spirit of Christmas, anyway…so many people living with loss…

I hope that isn't their ad. There's nothing beautiful about being bereaved. If I'd seen that advert in the few years after my first husband died I would have been inconsolable with grief. I thought Christmas was supposed to be a happy time. But hey, so long as sales are on the up, who cares? Merry ****ing Christmas.

Thanks Ammi. :love:
Something else I can’t get the grasp of.

Awww, makes it even better, knowing that it’s for charity for the elderly.
So many people spent a lifetime with a partner and then left alone without them.

I don't remember there being so many perfume adverts in the past?

I'm sorry but no one was called Robyn 40 years ago.

As fake as the "special" effects.

can they not just be a bit realistic?

Sainsbury's were first
Using a Female Worker, (making sure it was a Female)
Using BFG animation

Why has no one posted that?

Yes, why not actually take us through the moment of loss and then to the funeral so people can go ahhhh... Beautiful. Nothing more Christmassy than other people's abject misery. I was 31 when I was widowed.... Fa la la la la, la la la la.

too soon for christmas adverts in my nation


usually first christmas ads are as of 6th december, we first have Sinterklaas, for the children

My Dad is going to resonate with this one I think.
