Which Christmas Ad Makes the Season Truly Feel Like Christmas?
As the holiday season approaches, one of the most significant eagerly anticipated moments for many is the arrival of the Christmas ads. These advertisements are carefully crafted to evoke feelings of warmth, joy, and nostalgia. For me, the Coca-Cola lorry advert “Holidays are comin’ and the Guinness advert are the definitive Christmas ads that symbolize the season's true spirit.
Why the Coca-Cola Ad?
The Coca-Cola lorry ad, with its catchy tune and classic imagery, has an almost magical ability to transport me back to the crisp, snowy days of Christmas past. Every frame of this ad exudes a sense of community and togetherness. The moment the iconic Coca-Cola truck appears, draping a snowy blanket over the city, it's as if the entire world is enveloped in Christmas cheer. The uplifting melody “Hedwig's Theme”, composed by John Williams, perfectly complements the festive ambiance.
Why the Guinness Ad?
On the other hand, the Guinness Christmas ad holds a very special place in my heart. It's the one that, when I hear the first few chimes of the church bells in Dublin and Belfast, instantly brings back memories of snowflakes gently falling. This ad, much like a scenic winter card, perfectly captures the essence of a chilly, snowy Irish winter. The chorus, “don't forget to turn the lights off,” with a touch of local humor, never fails to bring a smile to my face.
Why Do These Ads Stand Out?
What sets these ads apart is their ability to embody the essence of Christmas. The Coca-Cola ad evokes feelings of community, togetherness, and the joy of sharing with loved ones. The Guinness ad, however, captures the unique charm of a cold, frosty night in Ireland. Both ads manage to transport viewers to a moment in time where the world was simple and full of wonder.
Conclusion
For me, these two ads stand out not just because they are visually and audibly appealing, but because they evoke the true spirit of Christmas. They remind me of the simple joys of community and togetherness, and the charm of a snowy winter. Whether it's the warm embrace of a Coca-Cola lorry on a snowy night or the gentle sound of church bells ringing in a frosty Dublin, these ads are inescapable reminders of why we love the Christmas season.
