Barbour – Shaun The Sheep x Baa-bour

The Barbour Christmas advert 2023 stars none other than Shaun the Sheep. Created by Aardman studios, the ad follows Shaun, Bitzer and the Flock as they decide to repair the farmer’s well-worn Barbour wax jacket. It’s a festive tale brimming with heart and mischief.

Disney UK – A wish for the Holidays

Sports Direct: Dream Big by Mox London

John Lewis

John Lewis has turned to a cheeky carnivorous plant – and an operatic superstar – for its Christmas advertising campaign.

After last year’s low-key charity-linked clip featuring a skateboarding foster dad, the department store chain has returned to its tried and tested formula of a heartwarming story featuring a child and an unusual friend – with a twist from some catchy Italian rock opera sung by the tenor Andrea Bocelli.

Rebel – Sport is a gift by The General Store

Inspired by rebel’s brand purpose – the transformative power of sport – the 60″ hero film follows the touching journey of a young boy giving his mother a meaningful gift to lift her spirits through the holiday period.
