Asda Christmas Ads over the years

Asda Christmas adverts have become as much a part of the festive season as mince pies and twinkling lights. Over the last few years, these adverts have brought smiles and a touch of magic to our TV screens, often featuring a dash of humour, a sprinkle of celebrity sparkle, and, of course, a generous helping of Christmas cheer.

Let’s take a little stroll down memory lane and revisit some of the highlights from Asda’s Christmas campaigns. Just last year, in 2022, Asda gave us “Have Your Elf a Merry Christmas,” an ad that made us all chuckle. It starred Will Ferrell as Buddy the Elf, a character we all know and love. Buddy found himself causing his usual brand of lovable chaos, this time in an Asda store, and it was an instant hit with the audience. This clever integration of a popular Christmas movie character into the retail world captured hearts and was lauded as one of the nation’s favourite ads of the year.

This year, the Asda Christmas Advert 2023 has taken a different turn by featuring the king of Christmas crooning himself, Michael Bublé. Dubbed the “defrosted” star for the occasion, Bublé serenades shoppers with festive tunes and even takes on a special role within Asda as the inaugural Chief Quality Officer, ensuring everything is up to his smooth, high standards. The advert’s tagline, “Pop the Bublé, it’s officially Christmas,” plays delightfully on his name and has already got people talking and getting into the festive spirit.

Looking back a bit further, we can see that Asda’s Christmas Ads have consistently aimed to capture the essence of the season. They’re about more than just shopping; they’re about creating a feeling, an atmosphere that says ‘Christmas has arrived’. From the excitement of decorating the house to the joy of sharing a meal with loved ones, Asda adverts remind us of the simple pleasures that the holiday season brings.

Though each year’s advert has its own unique flavour, the common thread is the sense of anticipation they build. Asda understands that Christmas isn’t just a day on the calendar; it’s a feeling, a season of goodwill, and their adverts are crafted to spark that festive joy in all of us.

So, whether it’s a hilarious cameo from a movie character or the smooth tunes of a Christmas icon, Asda Christmas adverts have become little gifts in themselves, unwrapped by millions of viewers each year. They’re a signal that it’s time to start getting excited because Christmas is just around the corner!
