Christmas crackers and a couple of turkeys: check out our favourite Xmas treatments!

Tuesday, 20 December 2011

You know it's Christmas when you see the coca cola ad and the New John Lewis Christmas ad seems to have been knighted as a classic already.

Here's a round-up of the other Christmas adverts that have caught our eye in the last few weeks - the Christmassy and the not so Christmassy, the nostalgic and the surprisingly fresh .

We love the Waitrose ad - teaming up Delia and Heston in a sumptuous presentation of a mouth-watering Christmas that is both traditional, nostalgic and totally up to date:

Sainsbury's presents a less surprising and less appetising Christmas panto fronted by the nation's favourite Jamie Oliver:

Littlewoods Thanks Mum for Christmas this year, which we think is a great sentiment:

While Very.co.uk sees Holly and Fearne pitched against Santa in this festive race to deliver on time:

The Harvey Nichols ad certainly stands out, but feels a little close to home for some of us!

Macdonald's invites you to get into the festive spirit with a Burger - um, not for me, thanks!

We love the Halfords ad - surprising, funny and genuinely makes you want to buy a bike and squeal!

Iceland goes for traditional nostalgia in, um, Dagenham:

while Matalan serves up cheese for Christmas dinner - oh dear

We wish Argos had just re-run last year's Bing Crosby!

Bring on the Mince Pies! Happy Xmas!!
