Storytelling Christmas Ads of 2014: the First Installment is Here!

We love watching the new Christmas Videos come out every year at Visual Creatives. Last year this video from West Jet was our hands down favorite. It’s still early in the season, but the Sainsbury video below is pretty hard to beat! After watching the video, watch the behind the scenes story of the video. You’ll learn a little history and come away with a deeper appreciation of the story. I’ll admit…it brought a tear to my eye!

The role was previously portrayed by Will Ferrell, 47, in the 2003 holiday hit.
