Yellow pages adopted a campaign of unusual uses for their product and this particular Christmas version is a memorable one from my childhood.
Coca-Cola

Coca-Cola is the epitome of corporate America. They do however own (what is considered by many) the arrival of Christmas. Another memorable one from my childhood.
John Lewis: The Bear and The Hare

The £7m Bear and Hare campaign took the Christmas advertising wars to new heights. A great concept, produced in painstaking frame by fame stop motion by the Adam & Eve DDB agency.
Spanish Lottery Christmas Advert 2015

A heart-wrenching addition to the list that many from the UK won’t have seen. A fantastic concept that perfectly sums up the Christmas spirit.
John Lewis: The Long Wait
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBtHj0674Is
The second in the series of ‘new era’ John Lewis Christmas ads. I remember being impressed at how this particular ad took the notion of Christmas (giving to your children) and spun it on its head.
