Best Holiday Commercials of the Season!

We’ve hand selected the best of the best from the holiday season!

Here’s our criteria: Does it pull at your heart strings a little? Does it plaster a dopey grin wide across your face? Does it make you warm and fuzzy all over?

Check! Check! Check!

Here goes!

This ad is for the Polish online auction site, Allegro.

Watch as this elderly man takes us through the journey of learning a new language (in this case English), for a pretty special reason. 

**Naturally he learns the odd swear word, be warned! 

This one will touch your heart. SickKids Hospital is located in Toronto and many children who have to spend the holidays there wonder if Santa will be able to find them… this commercial smears any doubt about that!

This ad is directed by Wes Anderson, for H&M. The main focus of this commercial is to say ‘Come Together’ – you’ll notice the Christmas spirit goes undeterred no matter the circumstances (like getting stuck on a train over the holiday). You’ll also semi-consciously take note of H&M’s holiday collection.

This commercial is for Heathrow Airport. Watch two elderly teddy bears make the trip home to their family. 

Bonus Round: Not so much emotional, as it is cute!

Although this commercial has a strictly retail message, UK department store John Lewis, put out this ad with Buster the boxer, showing that there really is the perfect gift out there for everyone.
