Get into the festive mood. A selection of some great 2019 Christmas commercials.

I have selected some of Christmas' best. As always most are made in Britain. These are great times to air some really lengthy ads in the age of 5 seconds pre-rolls, display ads and banners.

M&S Go Jumpers for Christmas: a YouTube hit, signature dance clip. My personal favourite. Not too corny and no cliches (not even the music). Definitely like the moves.

Pack it up, pack it in. Let Christmas begin #gojumpers
It was the night before Christmas and all through the house not a creature was stirring not even a.... #gopyjamas

Aldi Christmas: "Let me entertain you" with Robbie Williams. Very entertaining circus setting, with lots of YouTube views. Brussels (Russell) Sprouts are the bad guys, is this a coincidence Aldi?

Roll up! Roll up! The Amazing Aldi Christmas Show is here. Witness the Flying Tra-peas, a guest appearance from bad guy Russell Sprout and of course, the star of the show... #KevinTheCarrot

Tesco Christmas: Back to the Future and Dickens all mixed up. The Tesco Delivery Man stars in past and present scenes, a bit disappointing.

A Tesco delivery driver takes an unexpected detour through time, embarking upon 100 years of #DeliveringChristmas in one magical night. Loaded with a van full of 'food from the future,' he might just make a few historic deliveries along the way.

Asda Let's make Christmas Extra Special. Yuletide cliches and kids capturing the Northern Light. Lots of magic. Cinema version, cinema script. Magic in abundance.

Take a look at our Christmas TV ad, and follow Jack and Tilly as they spread Christmas magic around their town. Let's make Christmas extra special. http://bit.ly/2WwVRqa

Argos Christmas Advert 2019, the Book of Dreams. Score: "Don't you forget about me". Great movie, about a grown up dad being the kid he always wanted to be. He's getting exited by a catalogue, Jim Kerr is present on a TV. Really love this ad. High energy. Watch it till the end.

Argos renames the catalogue 'The Book of Dreams' as a dad's childhood dreams are awoken when he sees the drumkit his daughter has circled. You can shop your own dream gifts: https://www.argos.co.uk/events/christmas

Visa Christmas Advert 2019 Soundtrack is Queen's "Somebody to Love". Most actors work and sing in old run down stores and cafes. Hardly any customers in sight. They clearly aren't happy and hence, looking for love..... (real life Britain?). Visa invites people to shop on High Street, skipping e-commerce. The only commercial with a statement.

Show your High Street some love! Watch the 2019 Christmas ad featuring real shopkeepers and join Visa in supporting the High Street because #WhereYouShopMatters. The advert features 13 real shopkeepers - including a bookseller, greengrocer, antique dealer and café owner - encouraging shoppers to show their High Street some love and shop local.

Apple's Holiday movie is called the Surprise. Very good commercial, kind of slice of life. A real family heading over to a grandparent at the other side of the country. Meanwhile Apple's iPad is making the journey and the stay very memorable. Tearjerker.

Sometimes, the best gifts can come from the most unexpected places. Make someone's holiday with iPad: https://apple.co/35kaYGD Song: "Married Life" by Michael Giacchino https://apple.co/2O50rYZ

Very.co.uk Christmas Advert 2019. Get more out of giving. Animation. People helping a lone old man, which is always a successful hit. Kind of corny, but okay.

Get more out of giving at Very.co.uk. Very's Christmas advert tells the story of a community that comes together to give Sidney, a lonely man, a Christmas that he'll never forget. Watch as the community races to pack a pink parcel full of Christmas delights to make the festive season special for their neighbour...

Selfridges: Future Fantasy, a Christmas for Modern Times. Thoroughly modern, mixed with opulence. Very different from the pack. Voice over really irritates, but she's probably a fashionista. This is Selfridges: they can afford it. Most women have white hair, due to Christmas?

A film directed by Nabil Elderkin, starring Noomi Rapace, Miguel, Daniel Arsham and friends. As part of our Future Fantasy Christmas - where we're celebrating a thoroughly modern take on the festive season - we've joined forces with some of the most exciting names in fashion, film and design today to explore what our festivities might look like 1,000 years from now...

Burberry What is Love, with a guest appearance of Carla Bruni. More a catwalk scene with some celebs dressing up and doing flashy dance moves. Hardly anybody is laughing or smiling. The ad asks: "what is love?". Totally missed the answer.

John Lewis and Waitrose Christmas 2019 Advert: Shrek like feel, with Edgar (kind of dragon) and a little girl bonding. Iconic. Great movie and funny.

Together with Waitrose & Partners, we're excited to share the festive tale of a little girl and her excitable friend, Edgar. #ExcitableEdgar Our story this year is all about the magic of friendship and how one thoughtful gesture can make all the difference.

Sainsbury's Christmas: Nicholas the Sweep. This ad had to beat the smashing 2018 one and that's difficult. Dickens all over, from start to finish, which really helps. Certainly in Britain.

150 years ago Sainsbury's opened their first store and Christmas changed forever. Coincidence? Almost certainly... ho ho ho. Presenting Sainsbury's Christmas advert 2019.

Amazon Christmas 2019. "Everybody Needs Somebody to Love". Iconic Amazon delivery boxes, with arrow, are singing in this ad. Amazon delivery woman is finally coming home at the end of the clip, like Tesco's. Would have presumed more love and less carton.

It's the time of year to get together. And the Amazon boxes are back singing with everybody who's in the festive spirit. https://www.amazon.com/
