How well do you know the Christmas Adverts?

25 Nov 2022 by Liz Tod

It’s that time of year… the Christmas adverts have started, and we love to talk about them.

No more ‘skip’ the adverts, we’re watching!

Did you know TV Christmas adverts started to appear in the 1980s, but it was the John Lewis advert in 2011 that was the first to combine good quality with an emotive narrative, the type we’re all now familiar with?

And not forgetting the Christmas advert songs, they get us feeling festive and quite often bring us to tears (every year!).

But how well do you know your Christmas adverts?

Have a bit of fun and test your knowledge on Christmas adverts over the years with our festive Christmas quiz.

 

Grab a pen and let’s get started…

 

  1. What was that ‘1st’ Christmas advert in 2011 called?
     
  2. When did Coca Cola release their 1st ever Christmas advert complete with the iconic red truck?
     
  3. Paddington Bear emerged from Darkest Peru to star in a festive advert in 2017. Which store’s campaign did he appear in?
