  • LEGO - Holiday Hero 2022

For this year and for the very first time in their history, LEGO chose a superstar to be included in their Christmas Holiday Campaign. And of course, Katy Perry added a bit of fireworks in the campaign! The LEGO Group has launched its biggest and most playful Holiday campaign to date. This year, the 90-year-old brand turned to some of the most creative minds on the planet, children, to help super-charge its festive celebrations with fun.

The children were handed creative control behind the cameras, building, unbuilding and rebuilding what the Holidays mean to them. Rather than picture-perfect shots of snow, exquisitely set tables full of festive feasts, and crackling open fires, the children chose to design, build and bring to life a playful vehicle to help them deliver presents and bring the community together over the Holiday season.

  • Aldi - Feast of Football

Kevin The Carrot returns this Christmas as Aldi poke fun at the World Cup in Qatar and an iconic Nike advert. The footballing puns come in as thick and fast as the custard for a Christmas pudding as Aldi release their 2022 Christmas advert, poking fun at the FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar. 

It begins as Kevin The Carrot and family are awaiting their flight at an airport. The video, released on Facebook on 7th November 2022, continues Aldi’s trend of tapping into popular culture with its often fun approach to advertising - along with the popular carrot character the brand is famous for, its pithy quips and hilarious clap backs on social media.

  • Lidl Christmas Campaign 2022 - The Story of Lidl Bear

The retailer’s Christmas ad introduced poker-faced Lidl Bear and charted his rise to fame after a young girl puts her dad’s Lidl jumper on her teddy, when he accidentally shrinks it in the wash.

The bear became the face of the supermarket’s Christmas campaign and viewers watched as the teddy enjoyed the highs and lows of fame. 

Lidl Bear has instead been the inspiration for Lidl’s Christmas charitable drive -  Lidl Bear’s Toy Bank is a nationwide donation initiative, giving new or unwrapped toys and games to children across the UK, through the Neighbourly community network.
