Just watched back this Christmas advert thinking how crap the 2020 Sainsbury's Christmas ad was. This is one of the best ones. Looking forward to this year's Christmas ads, hope Sainsbury's go all out cos last year they certainly didn't with Gravy Song.
Well that's all my Christmas shopping sorted then. This year I will tell everyone that their present is my time and eternal affection. I'm sure they'll be delighted
Im not sure if the comment is meant to be sarcastic but I'll just say Christmas is the best time to be with your family and friends and you have lots of fun 😊😊😊😀
Brandon Turner I used to see the bongo player out of Trex walking along the road and I am sure he made less money out of the tune on the advert than that diabetes man.
7 years later and it's amazing to see the heart and soul that went into the Christmas adverts back in the day (also the 1914 advert comes to mind). Hope future adverts bring back the magic of the holiday season
Excited to finally see this. My husband built the kitchen set, other interior props and the houses in the street scenes. It took weeks of work during the summer months and they only get a few seconds of air time, but was a fun project to work on. Great to see the end collaborative result. 👏👏👏

I work in Sainsbury's (convinience) and we get Xmas day off but, nothing else. However, as we all get on like family swapping shifts and covering each other so those with kids can see family works pretty well. And working a few hours Boxing Day isn't really an issue, it's money in my pocket and it's normally a nice shift as everyone is in the festive spirit. I'm not paid to say Sainsbury's treats staff well - but they really really do.
This is my favourite Christmas advert. Mainly because it doesn’t feel like an advert. There’s no advertising in it apart from the ending it focuses on Christmas and what makes it special. That makes it much more than an advert it’s the best Christmas advert there is and it beats Kevin the carrot and all the John Lewis adverts for me. It’s amazing in every way
It’s October 2021 and I’m watching this, feeling a bit excited for Christmas.. but also whilst feeling slightly sad that the days of this advert, in pre-Covid times, feel like a lifetime ago!
if anyone noticed at the end that when the song is sung by the different families the child singing actually has two mums and the one after that shows the daughter with two dads. great addition by sainsburys showing equality!
joshua ferguson and all of the races as well, like all of the families have different races and people from different countries! This is the first ad I've seen where equality for everyone is shown! Amazing ad!!!
Since 2016 James Corden has become a global star. Sainsbury’s own the rights to this song, no idea why they don’t bring this advert out every Christmas. It’s that catchy & would be synonymous with Sainsbury’s.
TeamAlfie I freakin work in sainsburys and we aren't aloud holiday at all but yet it's about spending time with family throughout the Christmas season? Okay😂
Ashleigh Louise you'll find that about retail. Not just Sainsbury's. I've just started working for Sainsbury's in the online department and we get xmas eve Christmas Day and Boxing Day off. That's quiet lucky for any retail job. I use to work In a home furnishing store that sold furniture and cushions and stuff and we had to choose weather we got New Year's Day off or Boxing Day, you weren't allowed both
This year, the greatest gift I can give my parents and brother and grandparents is for me to be at home and not stuck in the psych ward for the 2nd year running
@Varry the first video we did was in November so that’s when we do it but my sister is off at uni now so we never really get the time 😭 But I’ll be sure to do it again this year
Oct 2020 and usually around this time I start watching all these adverts and getting excited for Christmas, but this year corona has changed everything and that makes me so sad 😞 listening to this feels like memories of the good old days, oh how we took so much for granted!
It's good but I'm not crazy about this one. This still doesn't top the 1914 Christmas Ad from 2014 which in my opinion is the greatest Christmas Ad ever made.
I knew that was James Corden's voice! That is an unmistakably goofy, lovable, and truly talented voice! This was such a touching, charming, and just whimsical advert! I didn't think they could top the 1914 cartoon and they didn't . . . all of the adverts stand equally beautiful and in the very spirit of the holiday!
well done sainsburys, i think this is a good advert, it think it brings home the message that time with family is importent at this time of year, will you be giving your staff christmas and boxing day off? i think you should, closing for 2 days would be great for so many of your employees and would show that sainsburys is a family store. any way back to the advert, stop motion animation is a cool thing to have made, this must of taken hours to shoot frame by frame, i like the fact that it envolves family and it make me want to quit my job and spend xmas with them.
This was ok but prefered last years, noticed a couple of people have mentioned the M&S ad being good, haven't seen it yet. Shall have to find it and watch it .
marie moss marks and spencers advert is lovely it has Santa's wife on it who we rarely get to see ..it melted my heart because its warmth and that they seem such a nice couple really made my heart melt ..try also the waitrose advert it really is sweet emotional and perhaps one of my favourites this year
I come back every year because this is THE BEST Christmas advert and I know all the words and in 3 days it’s going to be 5 years since this was posted 😭💀 5 whole years of “THE MANAGERS TWERKING INAPPROPRIATELY”
You missed the message. The greatest give is just to be there with your family no matter what. We all hits the highs and lows but family stays pretty much a constant. The greatest gift is love my friend. Hope you have a great Christmas this year and wishing you the best of health!
@@TheLondonForever00 you are so right! I couldn't afford to buy my family gifts last year but they didn't care at all, we spent a lovely day together and they still got me gifts despite me not being able to afford it. My dad always says "I don't care about gifts, as long as we get to spend time together" and thanks to him my sister and I grew up with the same mindset, its the people that make your holidays special. Not the presents! 😊❤️
Lettybabe aww thats so sweet you are just happy being together, I mean thats what Christmas really should be about❤️ I hope you have a lovely Christmas this year! Xx
The UK always have the best adverts.
Life With Satch, yes. Yes we do. :-3
Correct! We go all out in them, we spent 7 million on the John Lewis one!
i agree
Famous last words
2017... Hold my beer
7 years later and I still have yet to hear/see a Christmas ad/song as good as this one ⛄🎁 ❤️
This has to be not only Sainsbury's best advert, but one of the best if not THE best advert ever
Have you seen the 1914 one
Joey Green just about to say that.
The best is the 2015 John Lewis advert
1914 advert >
@Kody's Klips Innit I agree!
Who else is binge watching all the best Christmas adverts?

Literally 6 years later and I watch this every year when the Xmas season rolls around!
Bring this guy back Sainsbury's! Make him a Christmas mascot, make plushies, take a page out of Aldi's book, trust me!
Agreed Aldi have made bank off of Kevin every year, this guy has even more appeal because he’s voiced by a big name celebrity
Your right

if I could get a pound for each time James cordon was in an advert, I'd be as rich as him!!!
If I had a pound for every "I had a pound" joke about James Corden in adverts I'd have enough to copyright all of them
+ZimiTros nah I'm sure u would have like £2-7

It is indeed! We love it. Have a lovely night. Allie

Fargena Kazi Could you check out my version please thank you
I don’t understand how it took me 3 years to realise that the voice actor for this advert is James Cordon
And this entire time I thought it was Jeremy Corbyn because I heard someone say so.

Wait....OMG IT IS
Omg it is! 😱
I read this comment and heard his voice
7 years later and it's amazing to see the heart and soul that went into the Christmas adverts back in the day (also the 1914 advert comes to mind). Hope future adverts bring back the magic of the holiday season
Entertaining video, catchy lyrics, good message, diversity and equality... I think Sainsbury's won this years Christmas Ad.

No they didn't. Black people exist and deserve representation. Get over it.

Workers : yeah I’m sorry this train’s cancelled.
Pretty much accurate 😂

Surprised they didn’t put a blue paper towel on the track and tell it to have a cup of water so the train can come back
@@b0bstar285 LMAO
Its very British

I’d be ok if they just reused this as their Christmas advert...

So is Sainsbury's closing over Christmas so that they're workers can spend time with their families? I didn't think so.
▪ Festive temps
▪ People that don't celebrate xmas will work these hours
▪ Depends on the branch if a manager is a twat or not about letting employees go home for xmas

I think the 2014 ww1 Christmas truce one was WAY better
Top trending ikr I was singing this until February
This is making me realise I have a messed up concept of time . This was 3 years ago and it feels older but at the same time newer

Ciara Lydon Watch the Sainsbury ad from 2014. As good day as this ad is, that one blows it out of the water.
How can u not love the song alone?

I always watch this advert at Christmas...apart from my gran passing away, I think 2016 Christmas was the best one ever...I miss it so much😔😔
is james corden singing?
Hi there. He certainly is! Naomi.
Sainsbury's the person u commented 2 isn't called Naomi 😂😂
DJH Gaming if you can call it that. that's not the word I'd use
+DragonLordZ The Salisbury's admin person is called Naomi...

A part of being British is watching all the great adverts at Christmas
2019 where u guys at ? 🙌👏🏻
Edit: thanks for the likes 😊
I'm here...... what?
A lot of people dislike the new video but they clearly don’t see christmas is about giving :)
I'm here dahling.. Its xmasssss!!!! ❤️❤️
3 years ago Wow....time flys
I love this advert 🤣
One of the best ads of 2016 in UK
I'm watching this thinking it sounds like James Cordern singing. Went to search it up and it was him who was singing.
2020 November 16th. Still my favourite Christmas advert ever!
11 of January 2022. so fun😃
The managers twerking. Seriously Sainsburys
its probs someone said about twerking and poof it came out with this.
Since 2016 James Corden has become a global star. Sainsbury’s own the rights to this song, no idea why they don’t bring this advert out every Christmas. It’s that catchy & would be synonymous with Sainsbury’s.
I listen to this every day. It's generally an addiction, I'm concerned for myself.🤣
“The managers twerking inappropriately”
That just made my day
Christmas 2020 anyone?
Yh cuz apparently the 2020 one just didn't relate to ppl 😑
Indeed
yup :/

Yass
watched it every year before christmas and im back again to enjoy this amazing ad before christmas day
Other than mentioning long queues, how does this sell going to Sainsbury's to me?
TeamAlfie Sainsbury : inappropriate twerking
TeamAlfie I freakin work in sainsburys and we aren't aloud holiday at all but yet it's about spending time with family throughout the Christmas season? Okay😂
not suppose to usually about sharing especially their xmas advert in 2014 with war veterans which is one of the greatest adverts ever

I did this in my school
This here..... This is proof that the UK have the best Christmas adverts EVER
It's good but I'm not crazy about this one. This still doesn't top the 1914 Christmas Ad from 2014 which in my opinion is the greatest Christmas Ad ever made.

It sure is. Ross.
well done sainsburys, i think this is a good advert, it think it brings home the message that time with family is importent at this time of year, will you be giving your staff christmas and boxing day off? i think you should, closing for 2 days would be great for so many of your employees and would show that sainsburys is a family store.
any way back to the advert, stop motion animation is a cool thing to have made, this must of taken hours to shoot frame by frame, i like the fact that it envolves family and it make me want to quit my job and spend xmas with them.
