Christmas Commercial Advent Calendar - Day 24

It's Day 24 of my Christmas Commercial Advent Calendar and sadly the last day. I've had a ton of fun doing this and I hope you enjoyed the ads I posted.

For my final ad, I picked one that I watch every year because it always cracks me up. We've all had the Christmas where we're trying to put together a toy without waking the kids up. Well so has WWE's Shawn Michaels and it's really funny.

Please enjoy DX Commercial for elimination chamber playset and try not to worry too much about the "bonus" pieces.

Christmas Commercial Advent Calendar - Day 23

I've managed to remember to post all 23 days so far of my Christmas Commercial Advent Calendar!!

Today is Christmas Eve Eve, which I thought only I celebrated until I heard Kelly Ripa talk about it this morning, AND it's Festivus!!

Now, there aren't really any Festivus commercials, but I think this commercial in which a boy does his "Airing of Grievances" in the form of kidnapping and extortion works. Please enjoy Foot Locker Merry Kicksmas - Reindeer

Christmas Commercial Advent Calendar - Day 22

Sorry I'm super late tonight, but we actually did something together...as a family!! We made REALLY ugly Christmas cookies and amazingly enough even my husband helped. 
Here's what some of them looked like:



All this holiday cheer made me think of this wonderful commercial from across the pond. For Day 22 of my Christmas Commercial Advent Calendar, please enjoy Marks and Spencer - Follow the Fairies

Christmas Commercial Advent Calendar - Day 21



It's  Day 21 of my Christmas Commercial Advent Calendar and I know some of you are still hurrying to get those last minute presents bought. Today's ad is a very helpful gift giving guide from our friends at Fruit of the Loom. I hope this clears up an confusion you had on this issue.

Christmas Commercial Advent Calendar - Day 20


It's Day 20 of my Christmas Commercial Advent Calendar!! I hope you all have been nice and not naughty like the guys in this ad from Heinekin!
Sorry to keep it so short tonight, but my back is killing me and I still have a ton to do before Christmas.

Christmas Commercial Advent Calendar - Day 19

Welcome to Day 19 of my Day 18 of my Christmas Commercial Advent Calendar! It's the last weekend before Christmas and I know a lot of you are or will be traveling to see your families. That made me think of this great commercial from Folgers. Be safe on your travels and I hope you enjoy Peter Comes Home for Christmas,

Christmas Commercial Advent Calendar - Day 18

I'm sooooo excited that it's this close to Christmas!!!
Today is Throwback Thursday and for Day 18 of my Christmas Commercial Advent Calendar, I found a vintage Budweiser commercial from 1987.
The Clydesdales running through the snow are so beautiful and I dare you to NOT la la la along. I'm also sure that readers of a certain age will be singing "If you said Bud, You've said it all!" by the end.

I really hope you enjoy Budweiser Christmas 1987.

Christmas Commercial Advent Calendar - Day 17

Do you remember when most of your toys didn't require a battery? Guess I'm showing my age, but I do. For Way Back Wednesday, I found this great ad from Kmart. Gift giving was so much simpler then. *sigh* I hope you enjoy Kmart Christmas 1979

Christmas Commercial Advent Calendar - Day 16

It's only a week til Christmas and I have so many more ads I want to share. Coke's been getting lots of love, so to be fair I found some Pepsi ads. I couldn't decide which one I liked the best, so for Day 16 of my Christmas Commercial Advent Calendar, we're having Twofer Tuesday!

The first ad is one that was really popular at the time and features a Coke and a Pepsi driver in a diner on Christmas Eve. Here is Coke Vs Pepsi.



Our bonus video is more of a Winter theme than a Christmas theme, but it's still pretty funny. I hope you enjoy Pepsi Polar Bears.

Christmas Commercial Advent Calendar - Day 15

Hi everyone! It's Day 15 of my Christmas Commercial Advent Calendar! Thanks for reading and I hope you've enjoyed it so far.
Today's ad is from Coke and it's a modern classic. I haven't seen it yet the Christmas, but it's one of my favorites. This is the extended version and it's in HD, so it's a lot better looking than some of the videos I've posted. Please enjoy Coca Cola Trucks 2010.

Christmas Commercial Advent Calendar - Day 14

It's Day 14 of my Christmas Commercial Advent Calendar and I have more commercials than days to post them in! I really have been having a great time watching all these commercials and trying to pick the best ones is getting harder and harder.
Today I picked one from Garmin. It's not heartwarming or funny in the conventional sense like the other ads I posted. There are several from this company, but this one I actually remember seeing and it's my favorite of all them. I hope you enjoy Garmin Christmas Commercial #1

Christmas Commercial Advent Calendar - Day 13

Welcome to Day 13 of my Christmas Commercial Advent Calendar!!
Today's ad is a regional favorite. If you grew up in the New York tri-state area in the 80's chances are you've seen a Crazy Eddie commercial or two. This ad is actually a Christmas ad, not one of the Christmas in July or August commercials he was famous for. Please enjoy Crazy Eddie Christmas!

Christmas Commercial Advent Calendar - Day 12

Sorry I'm late again. I'm not even going to go into why. Let's just say it's not the cat's fault.

It's Day 12 of my Christmas Commercial Advent Calendar and this one is a really funny one from AT&T. Can you figure out who the voices are without reading the YouTube comments?
Please enjoy GoPhone Christmas Gingerbread.

Christmas Commercial Advent Calendar - Day 11

It's Throwback Thursday and I have a golden oldie from 1975. I loved this commercial when I was little and it's one I wish they would still show every now and again. Please enjoy Coke Christmas Hilltop .

Oh, I did manage to find the cat, she was under the couch for some odd reason.

Christmas Commercial Advent Calendar - Day 10

I know it's late and I'm going to try to do better and post earlier. You all know how it is though. You want to get something done, but you have to go shopping and then there's tweets and bids to write. When you just think you have a minute, the kids are home and there's homework and they need to eat. Then your shows come on and of course you have to live tweet them to keep your twitter activity high and also because you like your shows. Then there's bedtime and where the hell is the cat (no seriously, where the hell is my cat. I know she's in here somewhere.)

But I digress.

For Day 10 (barely) of my Christmas Commercial Advent Calendar I have an ad that's short and sweet, just like the product they're selling. I hope you enjoy Hershey Kisses Bells and if you see my cat let me know.

Christmas Commercial Advent Calendar - Day 9

Welcome to Day 9 of my Christmas Commercial Advent Calendar!!
Today's ad is one of many from Coke, but I doubt very many of you have seen it. Judging from the license plates of the cars it's from Europe and I'm guessing the UK. It's new to me to, so I hope you enjoy Santa Beard!

Christmas Commercial Advent Calendar - Day 8


Today's ad for my Christmas Commercial Advent Calendar is M&Ms Faint. It's been around forever, but to me it's just not Christmas without this one.

Christmas Commercial Advent Calendar - Day 7



It's been a whole week and I've managed not to miss a day!!!

For Day 7 of my Christmas Commercial Advent Calendar, I have a very special commercial from Zales. I know you're thinking, "what's so special about a jewelry store commercial at Christmas?"
Well you're just going to have to watch it to find out ;)

Christmas Commercial Advent Calendar - Day 6

For Day 6 of my Christmas Commercial Advent Calendar a friend told me about this adorable commercial from Betty Crocker called "Busted". I guess I'm lucky that our kids are heavy sleepers even on Christmas because as much as I love them, I'm so not baking cookies in the middle of the night no matter how easy it is.

Christmas Commercial Advent Calendar - Day 5

Children are rotten. We love them, but it's true. These kids should totally be on Santa's Naughty List! Day 5 of the Christmas Commercial Advent Calendar is Dad's Behind from Target.

Christmas Commercial Advent Calendar - Day 4

Day 4 of my Christmas Commercial Advent Calendar is a McDonald's commercial from the 80's in honor of #TBT. Don't you miss the days when a strange clown can ice skate with children and not have his motives questioned? I hope you enjoy McDonald's Ice Skating Commercial 1980s

Christmas Commercial Advent Calendar - Day 2

I hope no one peeked ahead on my playlist to see what the next commercial on the list was!!

Today's commercial is from Corona.

I've always wondered what it would be like to have Christmas in a warm place since it's always cold everywhere I ever lived. If I lived in a nice, warm, tropical place, I would definitely decorate a palm tree like  Oh Tannenpalm.

Happy Holidays!!

I pretty much zoned the entire month of November, but I'm back and I plan to post more this month.

I wanted to kick off the month with something fun, my Christmas Commercial Advent Calendar!

I've compiled a list of some old favorites and some new ones I found while making this list.

The first one is from the 70's and is one of the first commercials I can ever remember. There are older versions, but this is the one I remember best. (Feel free to make old jokes in the comments.)

Without further ado, I bring you Norelco Santa 1978
