The World Cup(ish) of Christmas Ads
It’s that time of year again where everyone looks for anything to do other than real hard work so we thought we would help you find another distraction by creating a World Cup of Christmas Ads.
We use the phrase “World Cup” lightly as we have been rather biased to the UK here, so apologies in advance…although to be fair they are all incredible ads!
Most of these timeless ads have won Cannes Lions, but we included a few extras that were not entered but are still some of the all-time favourites.
Without further ado, below are the 4 groups of ads, and you can vote for your favourite below each group section.
Voting for the Group Stages is open until Monday, 13 December 2021, 12pm UK time.
Let the Christmas Ad World(ish) Cup begin… 🎄🎅⛄️
