Christmas Adverts: Best thing on the box?
The battle of the festive TV ad campaigns started this weekend and we think they make essential Christmas viewing!
We’ve brought together the best and picked out our favourite Silverhairs moment – but which commercial is top of your Christmas list?
BOOTS: www.youtube.com/user/boots
The message: Give gifts that keep on giving
Inspiring women and their friends and family across the country to give thoughtful gifts that make a difference.
Silverhairs Xmas Factor: when grandpa gets his toenails painted.
WAITROSE: http://www.youtube.com/user/Waitrose?v=gTimZt4KSaw
The message: Giving more this Christimas
Instead of paying for a fancy TV ad, Waitrose has created a pared down commercial and donated the money to their Community Matters ‘green token’ scheme. Not glamourous, but certainly effective.
Silverhairs Xmas Factor: Delia Smith stars alongside Heston Bluementhal (both of whom waived their fees for the advert).
M&S: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvtQslFoTOw
The message: The greatest hits this Christmas
Uplifting musical extravaganza with a ‘something for everyone’ approach that targets its female shoppers.
Silverhairs Xmas Factor: Celebrating its more mature customers with a grey-haired and very fabulous fashion model in the cast.
JOHN LEWIS: http://www.youtube.com/user/JohnLewisRetail?v=0N8axp9nHNU
The message: Give a little more love this Christmas
One snowman’s epic quest, shot on location in New Zealand by the way, to buy a Christmas present for the snowlady in his life.
Silverhairs Xmas Factor: No senior stars – but then Snowmen are ageless, right?
ASDA: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QiTuiYtaMV4
Message: Behind every great Christmas there’s mum
Recognising the hardworking mums who make Christmas happen.
Silverhairs Xmas Factor: Grandad, asleep in the chair in front of the TV (does that remind you of anyone you know?!).
DEBENHAMS: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugBCrkRvTwA
Message: Christmas Made Fabulous
Taking you on a festive and fabulous Christmas journey and even featuring woman who can run through snow in high heels. Now that’s impressive.
Silverhairs Xmas Factor: The very dapper gentleman who dances in the brass band scene.
