Need a little extra holiday spirit and a light compulsion to shop?
Were here to help.
Aldi
Gather round, gather round, and witness the miracle ham!

Be honest, youd travel Down Under to buy a never-ending leg of ham, wouldnt you?
Apparently theyre readily available at Aussie supermarket Aldi worth the price of an plane ticket, wed say!
Marks & Spencers
If only becoming a great dancer was a simple as shrugging on a new sweater!
Well, if you buy your jumper from British retailer M&S, it might just be.
Hobby Lobby
A teenage boy doing laundry and decorating the tree for his overworked mother?
As believable a Christmas miracle as any!
Myer
Never doubt Santa.
Allegro
The Polish retailer will never match its2016 entry, but its still going hard on the grandparent content.
Still feeling good about that bubblebath set you got your grandma?
Oreo
Elves, theyre like us!
Microsoft
Ah, the wonders of technology.
Gruuuhnahaaaauuu its merry Christmas in Reindeer.
Just ask Microsoft if you dont believe us.
Amazon
The singing boxes are back.
A fun ad nonetheless.
McDonalds
Are you reindeer-ready?
McDonalds is, with the recent discovery that Santas pets of choice also enjoy the occasional McNugget.
We dont know about you, but this commercial made us feel equal parts McFestive and McHungry.
Personally, we think someone should invest some time in developing that cabinets-that-convert-into-speakers idea.
Apple
iPads solve everything.
Kids bickering in the car?
Give them an iPad.
Need a distraction on a flight?
Need to make a truly heartfelt photo collage to help a grieving grandfather?
Give them a… wait, what?
Maybe iPads do solve everything!
Yeah, us too.
As a modern take on Santa, Cardi is here to make it rein, deer.
Tesco
What the Dickens is going on here?
And we thought our holiday travel plans were excessive!
But ask yourself this: Were they ever?
If you answered yes, well just assume youve never heard of potatoes.
But the real message here is theres no grievance a well-timed (and baked) Christmas pudding cant solve.
Gap
A hoodie is for life, not just for Christmas!
The all-American retailer is going back to its roots with a 2019 holiday commercial starring its classic hoodie.
Imagine an orange being responsible for so many happy kids on Christmas morning all these years!
In the words of Sainsburys, and that is a totally true story.
Ultimately though, E.T.
has a wife and kids now!
If only she could teach us.
