It’s November, Halloween is over, so it’s officially the festive period and time to settle in for some great Christmas themed commercials. As usual, it will be a big competition to see who has the best one so here are the best Christmas TV ads 2020.
Last year featured John Lewis’ Excitable Edgar, Sainsbury’s Nicholas The Sweep and The Book of Dreams, Argos‘ ode to the iconic catalogue.
We expect more good stuff this year and heck, we all need the heartwarming and funny stories in these ads more than ever as we head into a second national lockdown. Watch ads from Coco-Cola (directed by Taika Waititi), Disney, LEGO, Aldi, Argos and more.
