How much do you remember about these popular Christmas adverts? Probably not as much as you’d think
‘Tis the season for Christmas adverts, but do you remember details of these classics from the past few years?
AS YOU can’t have failed to notice, British retailers have got very, very serious about their Christmas ads over recent times.
Most years John Lewis sit on top of the tree, but Marks & Spencer, Sainsbury's, Argos and others all vie for our attention with mega-expensive productions.
More than simply product promos, these are now mini masterpieces, often with a big-name soundtrack and sometimes even with tied-in merchandise available in stores.
The buzz around the biggest adverts starts weeks before they actually air, with rumours spreading about the featured song or artist, and marketing departments teasing out minute details.
Remember: these are just adverts!
Of course, by the time Christmas day comes around you may have seen some of the ads literally dozens of times.
Every note of the song and every detail of the advert will be etched in your brain… forever? Well, maybe not.
Try this tricky quiz based on adverts from the past few years - it's much, much tougher than you'd think.
