I hope you and your family had a wonderful Christmas. As an Englishman living in the US I was bawling my eyes out at every advert. So many memories of Christmas back home with my Mum when I was younger.
I miss my Beloved Maternal grandparents, and become extremely emotional at this time of year. Especially around late November and early December (with my birthday too; December 12th)
Hey Amanda, I hope you had a great Christmas! If you enjoyed these then you should check out some of the all time great UK Christmas adverts: Sainsburys 2014, Boots 2014, Sainsburys 2015, John Lewis 2017, John Lewis 2019 to name but a few.... I promise you these are all time classics that people return to every year - they're that GOOD!
Hi Amanda, a little late, but you should have a look at the 2011 John Lewis Christmas advert. This one was a game changer. It ignited a desire for advertisers to show meaningful messages. I can’t remember an advert that was so well received and talked about.
Hope you've had a wonderful Xmas. Thank you for making this year as great as you have. I haven't seen that Disney advert before and you shedding a tear got me emotional too 😭
One of my favourites from quite a few years back was from Sainsbury's. I think it was their 2014 advert. It showed the humanity of the soldiers in the trenches when they stopped fighting for Christmas. Always gets me too, war is mostly started by people that won't be fighting it.
The John Lewis ad this year is one of the all time greats. A real challenger for the best ever with Sainsbury's 2014. Hope you had a lovely Christmas and have a great new year
My favourite was the stepdad one, having been one, it can be the one of the most difficult of the year. When you get it right ( it can take a while) it’s one of the greatest feelings ever. Thank you for all of your videos. Happy new year to all
That advert with the Grandmother figure in it, made me cry because I miss my beloved maternal Grandparents so much. Both lost their lives to Coronavirus pandemic in January 2021 within the same week. Light a candle for Les and Irene Robertson xx. Rest in peace Nanna and Grandpa I miss you so much. I miss my beloved Maternal Grandmother so much 😢😢
I think the Step-Dad one is my favourite. I also really like the John Lewis one. As soon as the John Lewis Christmas ads come out I get excited, as I know it's nearly Christmas.
Love these Christmas videos I think the Disney video pulls on the heart strings makes me think of my son and 2 daughters and the bond you form with them And how much love is there my children still hug me and vice versa even though they are 25 19 and 17yrs old the bond and love is still there great content once again my best wishes to you and your family amanda
Marcus Radishford, Fairytale of New York and A Christmas Carol? All wrapped up in what Aldi do with their Kevin the Carrot money? It has to be Aldi for me. I'll give Sainsbury's a nod though - for having the class to use Etta James' At Last. Great vid again, thank you Amanda.
Hope you had a great Christmas I thought the Disney one was too long when I first saw it, Gregory Porter's singing is so wonderful that I didn't notice this time! Its hard to pick a favourite, the whole advertising industry and a lot of retailers have raised their game this year
They are full of puns and plays on words, using food items in the names of the characters, like Charles Chickens instead of Charles Dickens and Ebanana Scrooge, Marcus Radishford. 😂
Thank you Amanda for all awesome reactions since i started watching months ago, i really appreciate all the hard work and effort you put in, along with real emotions, i did watched this the other night late on, but had to come back, to say hope you had an a great Christmas and best withes for an happy new year - have an awesome 2022 filled with joy and happiness.... take care ❤❤😍😍❤❤
Thank you Amanda.. your one of our favourite American cookies.i was talking to an American lady from Texas she didn't know what a dalek is 'dr who'' !!blessings 🖤
In my opinion, the best was the 3rd one. 6:26 ... I just like this one. lol ... Great filming and editing style and great music choice. The music was very important there. Btw. Enjoy the rest of the year, Amanda! And all the best in the New Year 2022!
Happy new year Amanda, hope you and your family had an amazing Christmas, for me the best xmas advert ever had to be Sainsbury's 2014 WW1 advert. Being an ex-soldier myself it touched home as i've been away at Xmas a few times, obviously not in conditions as bad as that. I don't mind admitting i did bring a tear to my eyes.
Amanda! You're just a big softy! Which is why we all love watching you so much! Thank you for all you have done for us during this year - and I hope you and your family enjoy the Very Best that 2022 can bring you! God Bless.
Disney stepdad was the best one but I also definitely loved the John Lewis one too! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas Amanda thank you for creating such fantastic videos this year! I look forward to seeing what you do in 2022 on your channel! Happy Boxing Day! ❤️
Lovely vid. I have seen the Disney advert several times it still makes me cry. May you enjoy the rest of the holidays, and keep uploading, I really appreciate your efforts and they always make me smile (except when I'm crying...but I'm supposed to do that...right) Best Wishes.
Compliments of the Season to you Amanda, your family & the other commentators/Subscribers !! Best Wishes for a better New Year for everyone !! Always great to watch your reactions, by the way, I`ve got to say, the hat suits you !! :)
Hi Amanda - I got home earlier today after spending the week with my Daughter, son-in-law, grandchildren and her in-laws. We had an amazing Christmas! This was my first watch of the Disney ad and I loved it - it was very emotional for me as my stepdad passed away last year. He was my 'Dad' for 48 years and my daughter's Granddad all of their lives. The ad really made me shed tears - of sadness, mixed with happy memories.... I hope you all had a lovely Christmas... sending best wishes to you and your family for a happy and healthy 2022. x
been at my sisters for 14 days unable to watch you no internet there agh! hope you and your family had great chrissy and a happy new year to you all keep programmes coming you make a rainy day sunny
Hi Amanda! I hope you had a lovely Christmas. My favourite was the John Lewis Ad. Of all the adverts shown, I've only seen the Aldi advert. I have been working a lot as per usual though. Cheers!!!
Yep, it's quiet working at nights as per usual. I do have Sunday & Monday nights off but Christmas is over by then :( Never mind for this year! Happy New Year! Will be working on Saturday night, as usual, same on this one.
Happy new year Amanda keep entertaining me with your videos with difference between America and England love watching your videos especially football chants ones had me in stitches 😂😂👍
John Lewis usually spend a ridiculous amount of money on their adverts each Christmas, it's at least a couple of million pounds, if not more. I haven't seen the Disney advert before, that took me by surprise and I hadn't seen the Amazon Prime Video advert in full until now, it is usually edited down to fit advert breaks. The Boots and John Lewis adverts have been shown a lot over Christmas, especially on the Dave channel. You should see some of the Christmas adverts from previous years and even the classic adverts from the 80's and 90's. The biggest stand outs used to be the Coca-Cola adverts (which seem to be missing this year), like the ones with the Polar Bears looking at the Northern Lights and the classic Coca-Cola truck advert, with the Holidays Are Coming song in it. Have a Happy New Year Amanda!
At least over the past 20 years or so, John Lewis has produced the most memorable Christmas ads. When I was at school in England for six years, there were no TV ads, as commercial tv was very new. In those days, it was stores' Christmas window displays and lights which drew the crowds.
Hey Amanda, hope you and your family had an amazing Christmas and thar 2022 brings you all the success and happiness you could hope for, thank you so much for your channel and your videos, they are by far the best "American reacting to all things British/American Living in the UK " videos on youtube and this is in no doubt due to your awesome warm and genuine personality.... oh that snort when u laugh helps too !! but again thank you for your awesome channel and all the best for you and your family for 2022
Love is a Gift - short film - made for fifty pounds.....as a counterpoint to the thousands spent by highstreet chains..... - is so relevant, even today....Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year to you and yours.
Hope you and your family had a wonderful Xmas Thank you for all the videos you have posted over the last year Keep up the good work a x looking forward to seeing more post next year Have a good new years for 2022
The golden age of adverts for me were the 70s and 80s with the beer and cigar adverts.It was mostly beer adverts.A cigar advert for Hamlet showed a bald man trying to take a passport photo and as he sat on the seat it dropped and it took a picture of a few lines of hair that dropped over his face.On the second and third attempt he kept pushing back his comb over and happened again.Funny that
Great reaction! We do love our tear-jerker Christmas ads! Always great stories of emotion and the great British humour thrown in! Do you have the same style of Christmas advertising in the U.S? I don't know if you remember the M&S v Aldi caterpillar feud a while back? But if you look closely at the Aldi advert (at the beginning) you'll notice the M&S caterpillar being taken away in handcuffs 😂
Great stuff ,our adds were always story telling even in the 60/70s but they’ve become like mini movies, I think I preferred the oldies because of the naivety ( and creativity with a very low budget). Used to think all countries did adds like this ( how wrong was that ? ) nice new US - UK Comparison, keep on keepin on , Merry Christmas 🤪🎄🎅☃️🙈❄️🌨🥶🧑🏿🎄🎟.
@@jamesedwards7906 I have noticed that over the years they’ve become more bame for the sake of it rather than for the story line which detracts and is why I preferred the oldies,👍🤪🤪👍🎅.
@@jamesedwards7906 The Disney one looked slightly American before it went outside, look at the houses in the background when they doing the Snowman, very much British housing.
As a Doctor Who fan I was interested to see Jenna Coleman facing a smiling snowman. A nod to her early appearance in Doctor Who when she was confronted with deadly smiley snowmen? Can't be coincidence. Can it? ???
Good evening Amanda 😀 Merry Christmas 🎄⛄ hope Santa bought you lot's of presents, loving the Christmas hat 😀 loving the adverts, almost 2022 any new Year Resolutions 😀 here's to more great TH-cam videos in 2022.
I think these ads do not sell directly, they are more subtle. The companies names are remembered far longer than the ads last. I think we are a bit more perceptible to a good message rather than a good sell this time of the year.
Happy new year Amanda,i hope you had a great xmas,ive just watched bigus dickus again for the umteenth time and billy connollys colonoscopy sketch,your reaction to them both was hilarious.you were asking for suggestions about programs to watch i recommend that you watch the early series of still game scottish humour at its best,
So nice to see an American appreciation of our British adverts. American adverts are so boring, repetitive and unbelievable it’s just like watching paint dry and they are the best ones.
Hi Amanda, YAY! I finally watched all your clips up to date! I know why the Disney advert got you, that house & snow with the family just hit you where the memories are of your Christmas’s in the States 🎄🌨☃️ I loved number 2, my fav Doctor Who companion Clara Oswald (Jenna Coleman) doing Mary Poppins with the bottomless bag 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 So magical 🌂👜 Happy Holidays 🇬🇧🤗🇺🇸
Why do they make adverts emotional? Right in the middle of a comedy.... Bam hits you in the face!! Hope you and your family had a good Christmas, all the best for, and please keep the videos coming in 2022.
One of my favourites is the BBC advert from 2017 called “The supporting act”! A very merry Christmas to you and your family! I just want to take this opportunity to thank you for all the hard work & effort that you put into your TH-cam podcasts,to make them genuine,funny and very entertaining. I look forward to seeing what you have in store for us all in 2022.
Hope you had a great Christmas Amanda. It was great to see my family after awhile. Ate lots of food and I’m still full now. Keep at the channel and Have a good new year. X
You'll note that advertisers have woken up and now reflect the true ethnic make-up and diversity of Britain which, according to these adverts, is now 90% black
Amanda, if you see this, may I ask a question? Lots of videos mention that we tend to say "advert" or "ad" and Americans say "commercials". Fine. But what comes up when you watch TH-cam in the US? When it come up saying "skip ads in 5", "skip ads" etc. Does TH-cam in the USA use a different word? Anyone know? I need to know the answer!
Some of these are never shown in their full form on TV as they would be too long and cost too much, the Disney one is new to me but even i had a lump in my throat watching it!, British TV ads have always been like this, sometimes better then the programmes!, they even used to have an annual wards ceremony for the best ones and several have become part of life with their memorable stories and catchphrases.
The Sainsbury's Christmas advert set during the Xmas truce of WW1 us the best xmas advert ever.
I’ve heard about that one ‘
I hope you and your family had a wonderful Christmas. As an Englishman living in the US I was bawling my eyes out at every advert. So many memories of Christmas back home with my Mum when I was younger.
We did thank you, I hope you and yours did as well 🎄
I miss my Beloved Maternal grandparents, and become extremely emotional at this time of year. Especially around late November and early December (with my birthday too; December 12th)
I’ve had that “Smile” song (originally from Nat King Cole), from the first ad as an ear worm for some weeks now.
One of the best ever has to be the Sainsbury's ad from 2014 with the cease fire in World war 1 in 1914
'Love is stronger than blood.' - A saying the Disney advert reminded me of. Wishing all of you the very best for the new year. take care. 😊
Most of the British adverts at Christmas are like mini stories. Merry Christmas to you. The stepdad is my favourite.
Thank you! Merry Christmas 🎄

That was a really moving video. The Disney ad was made to make people think about family and how important it is
I love watching amandas observations of life in uk/usa,she is also absolutely cute looker
Thank you!
Wow, that Disney Stepdad Video was something else, so emotional, FANTASTIC.
😊it really got me lol

Out of all of those.. The only ones I've seen on the TV are the last one with the Alien girl and a shortened version of the one with jenna coleman in
That Disney advert got me too. Wonderful, truly wonderful.
We are enjoying your videos Amanda, may we wish you and your family A Happy and safe New Year.
Tbh. The adverts are better thsn most of the programmes.hope you had a great xmas amanda 😘😘😘😘

' 1914 ' ......Sainsburys.
Edgar The Dragon ....John Lewis.
The John Lewis was my personal favourite. But all Great videos Amanda, hope you and your family had a Merry Christmas 🎄
Thank you! Merry Christmas 🎄
All the Aldi adverts have always been inventive and funny. Merry Christmas x
I hate the Aldi ads, especially the one last year where you saw a carrot being cooked alive and the sad expression on its poor little face!
Merry Christmas 🎄
They are full of puns and plays on words, using food items in the names of the characters, like Charles Chickens instead of Charles Dickens and Ebanana Scrooge, Marcus Radishford. 😂

Coca-Cola Truck driving Santa being caught drinking Pepsi is this years best Christmas Ad for me
That sounds great lol

Yep, it's quiet working at nights as per usual. I do have Sunday & Monday nights off but Christmas is over by then :( Never mind for this year! Happy New Year! Will be working on Saturday night, as usual, same on this one.
Lewis's consistently do some good ones, the old man on the moon being a fav. The Cadbury Gorrilla, a classic, also the string of Guiness ads.
😊👍🏻👍🏻
Happy new year Amanda keep entertaining me with your videos with difference between America and England love watching your videos especially football chants ones had me in stitches 😂😂👍
Thank you! Happy new year 🎉
There's one Xmas advert that still gets me. Sainsbury's Christmas truce ad. A recommended watch.
I’ll look it up
The actress in the 2nd ad is Jenna Coleman who used to be in Doctor Who.
I don't know if you would class it as a Christmas advert, but try finding the old Smash adverts with the robots. 😀 Happy New Year!
👍🏻happy new year!

Search Christmas advert mum tapes here on TH-cam. Gets me every time as I’d love to be able to hear my mums voice again
Also the Sainsburys 2014 Christmas advert is brilliant. Based on World War 1 Christmas truce
I like them all but number two is my favourite, simply as it features Jenna Coleman (Clara Oswald in Doctor Who) who I'm a big fan of.

Not UK specific.
Anyway, the Christmas adverts were awful this year 😕😣
@@jamesedwards7906 I agree - especially John Lewis and I usually love it (apart from rabbit and bear fiasco)
. ALDI was the best one this year.

I was thinking that. Also the bag seems to be bigger on the inside than outside.

You got off lightly there on the tear jerker front. If you react to best John Lewis Christmas adverts, you’ll need a whole box of tissues 😂

Why do they make adverts emotional? Right in the middle of a comedy.... Bam hits you in the face!!
Hope you and your family had a good Christmas, all the best for, and please keep the videos coming in 2022.
Sainsbury's ad from 2014 is the best IMO.
I’ll check it out
When Disney don't force it, they really can do wonders.
One of my favourites is the BBC advert from 2017 called “The supporting act”! A very merry Christmas to you and your family! I just want to take this opportunity to thank you for all the hard work & effort that you put into your TH-cam podcasts,to make them genuine,funny and very entertaining. I look forward to seeing what you have in store for us all in 2022.
Thank you very much Merry Christmas 🎄

Take a look at the Dartmouth steam Christmas train In Devon UK on you tube which run every Christmas for the children, it's spectacular.
Hope you had a great Christmas Amanda. It was great to see my family after awhile. Ate lots of food and I’m still full now. Keep at the channel and Have a good new year. X
Thanks so much! Merry Christmas
You'll note that advertisers have woken up and now reflect the true ethnic make-up and diversity of Britain which, according to these adverts, is now 90% black
Hope you had a nice Christmas Amanda another fantastic video from you enjoyed every minute of it.

Thank you so much! Merry Christmas 🎄
Amanda, if you see this, may I ask a question? Lots of videos mention that we tend to say "advert" or "ad" and Americans say "commercials". Fine. But what comes up when you watch TH-cam in the US? When it come up saying "skip ads in 5", "skip ads" etc. Does TH-cam in the USA use a different word? Anyone know? I need to know the answer!
Some of these are never shown in their full form on TV as they would be too long and cost too much, the Disney one is new to me but even i had a lump in my throat watching it!, British TV ads have always been like this, sometimes better then the programmes!, they even used to have an annual wards ceremony for the best ones and several have become part of life with their memorable stories and catchphrases.
Most of the Christmas adverts are shown in full at the cinema I have found.
Hope you and your family had good Christmas and a better New Year, My favourite was Boot bag.👍
Thanks very much! You too 😊
My favourite advert is the CocaCola advert. You know it's Christmas when that comes on each year.
Check out two Christmas ads from 2019: Argos, don´t you forget about me; and M&S jumpers, "jump around".
