00:00This could be love!
00:02It's become a tradition. Every year, the world's biggest brands release their best Christmas advertising campaigns.
00:09In 2024, Coca-Cola used AI to make a truly unsettling 30 seconds, complete with inhuman-faced smiles and bottles of Sally changing sizes.
00:17But at least the Coke logo always makes it out perfectly unscathed. Gotta keep their brand awareness unharmed.
00:23A few years ago, UK department store John Lewis released an ad that became an instant classic.
00:29Monty the Penguin's Lonely Journey stole hearts all over the world.
00:33Meanwhile, the American instant coffee brand Folgers was probably hoping for a similar reaction to its 2009 Christmas offering.
00:39The ad's depiction of a sibling relationship had audiences confused as to the exact nature of this brother-and-sister closeness.
00:47Back on the nice side of the list, Australia Post's 2023 ad, Nick the Intern, hilariously highlighted the hard work posties do over the Christmas period.
00:55And finally, Addy found its way to the naughty list after its nightmarish 2023 campaign was pulled from television for breaching ad standards.
01:04It featured an indoor barbecue, a man's hands covered in strawberries which resembled blood, and a potato with a seemingly severed head.
01:11All set to the soundtrack of Time of My Life.
01:14T'was the nightmare before Christmas.
