Now this is a proper winter Christmas advert!

The story starts in a pub in the middle of a snow storm. People are drinking, playing games and just having a good time. When they go to leave however they find they’re snowed in. Instead of freaking out they decide to make a Christmas dinner themselves together. Just as they’re about to tuck in two men have managed to shovel them to freedom. But they choose the food and company over freedom, of course.

This advert feels like it has all the wonderful parts of Christmas in it but with total strangers. It shows how people come together at Christmas no matter what their backgrounds and have fun and just have a good day.

I always remember walking to my grandparents house and all the people we passed would wish us a happy Christmas and we would too in return. It’s the warm fuzzy feeling of being included in a day of peace and happiness.

To me that’s what Christmas is all about. Coming together and giving a little light to people in your life. Whether they be someone you know or not.

What do you think of the Waitrose Christmas advert?
