Morrisons: For Your Christmas

Jo Hartley (of “This is England”) is the mum Vs. Christmas in the new spot from British Supermarket Morrisons. It's both humorous and dramatized, with a great storytelling and lots of quirks. It's a different approach, a true approach to Christmas. Besides the TV spot, there is a Facebook application called "Crimes Against Christmas" where users can upload heinous Christmas photos.

John Lewis: The Journey

Every year, John Lewis welcomes Christmas with a great TV spot. Last year we saw a little boy counting the time, waiting to give his parents a present. This year, we see a snowman on an epic journey through mountains, rivers and the city in order to get something special for his snow girlfriend. A heart-warming spot shot in breathtaking New Zealand's scenery. The song, The Power Of Love from Frankie Goes To Hollywood, is a cover from Gabrielle Aplin, a 20-year-old singer-songwriter from Bath.
