7. McDonald’s
The McDonald’s animated Christmas advert, titled Inner Child, shows a mother trying to encourage her teenage son to get into the Christmas spirit, but every attempt sees him turning to his computer or phone instead. However, after starting a snowball fight with him following a trip to McDonald’s, the young boy embraces his Christmas spirit and helps her to decorate the tree (Photo: McDonald’s) Photo: McDonald’s
8. Disney
Disney’s animated Christmas advert begins in the year 1940, with a grandmother gifting her granddaughter with a Mickey Mouse toy. It then skips to 2005, where - years later - the young girl is now a grandmother, who passes the same toy to her own grandchild. The toy is loved at first, but becomes neglected over the years. The advert ends with the girl realising the bond between herself and her grandmother, and gifting her the old but newly mended toy (Photo: Disney) Photo: Disney
