Greta girlies who are going to PEI this September, as a girlie who lives in the general area of Canada where PEI is located, I’ll tell you a little bit about PEI.

1 - PEI is gorgeous. We may get lucky and have superb weather cause sometimes September is pretty warm. The beaches are amazing and even if it’s not warm enough to go swimming, there’s great boardwalks and nice beaches to walk on.

2 - Red sand and red dirt. The sand and dirt is this reddish/rusty colour and it’s pretty cool. The soil in PEI is very rich in minerals so because of that there’s a lot of farms. If you’re driving anywhere outside of Charlottetown (the capital city of PEI), Summerside or Cavendish you’ll encounter loads and loads of farms.

3 - home of Anne of green gables. Lots of themed things related to her and her story around PEI, especially in the Cavendish area (where the festival grounds are). The Cavendish beach area is tourist central. There’s loads of things to do there if you don’t want to spend all day at the festival

4 - fantastic food. Lots of seafood if you like seafood.

5 - you either have to take a 13km (~8 miles) long bridge or a ferry to get there. If you’re driving up from Maine the bridge is the faster way to go. If you’re flying into the main airport in Atlantic Canada, you’ll also probably end up taking the bridge. It costs $50+ tax CAD to leave the Island via bridge. The bridge is a bit daunting if you don’t like bridges but it’s very safe of course.

6 - in Canada, the drinking age is 19 in case you weren’t aware. Also, weed is legal. If you’re in Charlottetown, you may see one of the cannabis stores. They don’t allow smoking at the festival but people will sneak weed and cigarettes in.

Soooo excited to see Greta this September and I can’t believe they’re playing a festival that’s so close to where I live!

A Journey Through Time: The History of Cannabis

Cannabis, often referred to as marijuana, weed, or pot, has a rich and complex history that spans thousands of years. This humble plant has been used for various purposes, from medicinal and spiritual to recreational and industrial. In this blog, we will embark on a journey through time to explore the fascinating history of cannabis.

Ancient Beginnings

Cannabis has its roots in ancient civilizations, with evidence of its use dating back to 500 BC in Asia. The earliest recorded use of cannabis comes from ancient Chinese texts, where it was described as a medicinal herb. It was used to treat various ailments, including pain, nausea, and even childbirth pain.

In India, cannabis had spiritual significance and was associated with the Hindu god Shiva. It was used in religious rituals and ceremonies to attain higher states of consciousness. This tradition continues today with the use of cannabis in various Hindu festivals.

Spread Across Continents

Graine de cannabis (cannabis seeds) gradually spread to other parts of the world. By 200 AD, it had reached the Middle East, where it was used for medicinal and recreational purposes. Ancient Egyptians utilized cannabis as a treatment for glaucoma and inflammation.

In Africa, the plant found its way into indigenous cultures, where it was used for medicinal and spiritual purposes. It was also utilized as a natural fiber for clothing and ropes.

Cannabis in the New World

The history of cannabis in the Americas can be traced back to the colonial period. European settlers brought cannabis seeds with them, and it quickly became an important crop. In fact, in the early days of the United States, farmers were legally required to grow hemp, a non-psychoactive variety of graine de cannabis, because of its versatile uses in textiles, paper, and rope.

As time went on, cannabis began to be associated with recreational use, and by the early 20th century, various American states had started to regulate or prohibit it.

The War on Drugs

The 20th century saw a significant shift in the perception and legality of cannabis. In the 1930s, campaigns against the plant began, fueled by fears of its psychoactive effects. The Marihuana Tax Act of 1937 was a significant turning point, effectively criminalizing the possession and sale of cannabis.

The "War on Drugs" declared by President Richard Nixon in the 1970s intensified the crackdown on cannabis, leading to strict drug policies and mandatory minimum sentences for drug offenses. This era marked a sharp departure from the plant's long history of medicinal and recreational use.

The Changing Landscape

In recent decades, attitudes toward cannabis have started to shift once again. Scientific research has uncovered the plant's potential therapeutic benefits, leading to the legalization of medical cannabis in various countries and U.S. states. Uruguay became the first country to fully legalize cannabis in 2013, followed by several U.S. states and Canada.

Today, many nations are reevaluating their cannabis policies, decriminalizing possession, and even legalizing recreational use. This changing landscape reflects a growing recognition of the plant's potential benefits and the need for sensible regulation.

Conclusion

The history of cannabis is a testament to its versatility and the dynamic nature of human attitudes towards it. From ancient medicinal and spiritual uses to its stigmatization during the 20th century, cannabis has weathered many storms. As the world reconsiders its stance on this remarkable plant, its story continues to evolve. Whether it's for medicinal, recreational, or industrial purposes, cannabis remains a captivating and influential part of human history.

What Is The Bulldog Amsterdam? The Story Behind the Legendary Coffeeshop

What Is The Bulldog Amsterdam? Inside the Legendary Coffeeshop That Started It All

The scent of cannabis lingers in the air, laughter echoes through the room, and travelers from all over the world gather in a dimly lit space that feels like home.This is The Bulldog Amsterdam, the legendary coffee shop that became a symbol of cannabis culture. Known for its distinctive branding and pioneering role in Dutch coffee shop history, The Bulldog has grown from a small cannabis lounge in Amsterdam’s Red Light District to an international brand with hotels, bars, and merchandise worldwide.As the company approaches its 50th anniversary, the founder’s daughter, Chantal de Vries, is leading an effort to restore its original essence while expanding its global presence.

The Birth of an Empire: Red Light District Roots

To understand the Bulldog brand, we must go back to its beginnings in the early 1970s. Amsterdam’s Red Light District was a chaotic mix of crime, unregulated prostitution, and hard drugs. Among the locals was a young entrepreneur, Henk de Vries, who had ambitions beyond his father’s pornography shop.In 1970, the Holland Pop Festival in Kralingse Bos near Rotterdam sought to bring the counterculture movement of Woodstock to the Netherlands. Henk attended, handing out cannabis for free. When he saw people reselling what he had given away, he recognized a business opportunity.Returning to Amsterdam, he started selling cannabis at the festival. In a historic moment, Dutch police turned a blind eye to cannabis consumption, marking the early days of the Netherlands’ gedoogbeleid (tolerance policy). This event set the stage for what would become "The Bulldog."

The First Coffeeshop: "The Living Room of Amsterdam"

Henk's early cannabis business flourished, but his journey was interrupted when he was imprisoned in Germany for cannabis trafficking. After serving his sentence, he returned to Amsterdam in 1974, only to find the city gripped by a heroin epidemic. Many of his friends had fallen into addiction, reinforcing his belief that cannabis should be available as a safer alternative.That same year, Henk inherited his father’s pornography store but decided to transform it into something different. In 1975, he opened the first-ever cannabis coffeeshop at Oudezijds Voorburgwal 90, naming it "The Bulldog" after his beloved English bulldog, Joris.The shop quickly became a haven for cannabis enthusiasts, offering a relaxed environment where customers could smoke, play games, and socialize. The cozy, welcoming vibe earned it the nickname "the living room of Amsterdam."

Social Responsibility: Partnership with the Salvation Army

Despite his rebellious nature, Henk had a strong sense of social responsibility. As a child, he had been helped by Majoor Bossard, a leader of the Salvation Army in the Netherlands, and he never forgot her kindness. When he started making money, he vowed to give back to the community.The Bulldog partnered with the Salvation Army to support vulnerable groups in Amsterdam, particularly women in the Red Light District and those struggling with addiction. Henk regularly donated money and supplies to the organization, and The Bulldog Foundation continues this legacy today.The foundation funds annual charity events, provides meals and clothing to those in need, and actively works to improve conditions for disadvantaged individuals in the city.

Expansion and Commercialization

The Bulldog’s success led to rapid expansion, transforming it from a single coffeeshop into a global brand.

Navigating the Green Frontier: Cannabis Culture in New Brunswick

In the heart of Canada's eastern landscape lies a province that boasts not only stunning natural beauty but also a burgeoning cannabis culture. New Brunswick, often overlooked in discussions about cannabis, has quietly emerged as a hub for enthusiasts, entrepreneurs, and policymakers alike. As the cannabis industry continues to evolve, New Brunswick stands at the forefront of innovation and progress, offering a unique perspective on the intersection of culture, economy, and regulation.

A Brief History of Cannabis in New Brunswick

New Brunswick's relationship with cannabis traces back centuries, intertwined with Indigenous cultures that recognized its medicinal and spiritual significance long before European colonization. However, it wasn't until Canada legalized recreational cannabis in 2018 that the province fully embraced its potential. Since then, New Brunswick has navigated the complexities of legalization with a blend of pragmatism and ambition, establishing itself as a trailblazer in the industry.

The Rise of the Cannabis Industry

With legalization came opportunity, and New Brunswick wasted no time in capitalizing on the burgeoning cannabis market. The province became home to several licensed producers, including Organigram and Zenabis, which have played pivotal roles in shaping the industry's growth. These companies have not only stimulated economic activity but have also contributed to job creation and innovation within the province.

Moreover, New Brunswick's retail landscape has evolved to accommodate the growing demand for cannabis products. Cannabis NB, the province's retail arm, has established a network of stores that offer a wide range of products, from dried flower to edibles, catering to diverse consumer preferences. This accessibility has not only driven revenue but has also helped destigmatize cannabis use, fostering a culture of acceptance and education.

Cannabis Tourism: Discovering New Brunswick's Green Delights

Beyond its economic impact, cannabis has also emerged as a significant driver of tourism in New Brunswick. Visitors from across Canada and beyond are drawn to the province's scenic beauty and vibrant cannabis scene. From guided tours of licensed facilities to cannabis-themed events and festivals, there's no shortage of experiences for enthusiasts to indulge in.

Moreover, New Brunswick's embrace of cannabis extends beyond recreational use, with a growing interest in its medicinal properties. The province is home to research initiatives exploring the therapeutic potential of cannabis, offering hope to patients seeking alternative treatments for various ailments. This convergence of science, tourism, and culture underscores New Brunswick's status as a progressive leader in the cannabis space.

Challenges and Opportunities Ahead

Despite its successes, New Brunswick faces its share of challenges as it continues to navigate the cannabis landscape. Regulatory hurdles, supply chain issues, and competition from other provinces pose ongoing concerns for industry stakeholders. Moreover, ensuring responsible consumption and addressing social equity remain paramount goals for policymakers.

However, amidst these challenges lie opportunities for growth and innovation. By fostering collaboration between government, industry, and community stakeholders, New Brunswick can further solidify its position as a cannabis pioneer. Continued investment in research, education, and infrastructure will be crucial in harnessing the full potential of the cannabis industry while safeguarding the well-being of its residents.

Conclusion

As cannabis continues to weave its way into the fabric of Canadian society, New Brunswick stands as a shining example of adaptability and progress. From its rich history to its vibrant industry and burgeoning tourism, the province offers a compelling narrative of resilience and innovation. As we look to the future, New Brunswick's journey serves as a reminder of the transformative power of cannabis and the boundless opportunities it presents for communities across Canada and beyond.

Cannabis Pharmaceuticals Market: A Potent Revolution in Healthcare

Welcome to the world of cannabis pharmaceuticals, where the grass is not only greener but also potentially life-changing! In this not-so-secret garden of medicinal wonders, the Global Cannabis Pharmaceuticals Market is flourishing like never before. Hold on to your hats (or maybe your hemp hats) as we take a stroll through the high lanes of this thriving industry.

The Green Wave of Growth:

Imagine a market that goes from a humble USD 1.5 billion in 2022 to a mind-boggling USD 115.27 billion by 2031 — that’s not a typo, it’s the reality of the Cannabis Pharmaceuticals Market. With a growth rate that even Elon Musk’s rockets would envy (62% CAGR), this market is on a trajectory that could make your investment portfolio feel like a winner.

Healing Highs:

What’s propelling this exponential growth, you ask? Well, it turns out that cannabis isn’t just for the cool kids at music festivals; it’s making a name for itself in the medical world. Chronic conditions like arthritis, cancer, Parkinson’s, and Alzheimer’s are bowing down to the therapeutic properties of cannabis. It’s like the superhero of the plant kingdom, swooping in to manage neurological disorders such as depression, epilepsy, and anxiety.

Global Cannabis Love Affair:

If you thought your neighbor’s herb garden was impressive, wait till you hear about the global acceptance of cannabis. Countries around the world are hopping on the cannabis bandwagon faster than you can say “herbal remedy.” From Canada to Croatia, the US to the UK, the list goes on. The MORE Act in the U.S. is just the tip of the iceberg, signaling a global trend of legalizing cannabis for therapeutic use. It’s like the world collectively decided, “Hey, maybe this plant is onto something.”

Market Snapshot —

Hold on to Your Pot Brownies: As we zoom into the future (2024–2031), the numbers are enough to make even the most seasoned investor do a double-take. With North America leading the charge, the market is set to create a green carpet across regions like Asia Pacific, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa. And no, it’s not just about smoking joints — we’re talking about a market where Epidiolex reigns supreme, and Sativex is the fastest-growing star.

Brand Wars —

Because Even Cannabis Needs a Mascot: In the epic battle of brands, Epidiolex is holding its ground with a whopping 97.5% market share. It’s like the superhero that everyone roots for, especially after getting the nod from countries like Israel, Finland, and Germany. On the other hand, the “other” brands are gearing up for a market takeover with a projected growth rate of 76.1%. SciSparc’s Phase-IIa clinical trial is like the superhero sequel — you didn’t see it coming, but it’s about to change the game.

Region Rodeo —

North America Takes the High Saddle: North America, led by the cool kids (United States and Canada), is riding the cannabis wave like a pro. Medical and recreational legalization, coupled with a rich R&D ecosystem, has turned North America into the cannabis hub. Meanwhile, the Asia-Pacific region is cautiously eyeing the trend, with countries like Israel and Australia already making moves in cannabis research. The future looks promising, as the healthcare infrastructure and a massive population set the stage for cannabis pharmaceutical dominance.

Driving Forces and Speed Bumps:

Behind every high-growth market, there’s a driving force — in this case, it’s the global acceptance of cannabis and its therapeutic benefits. Patient demand is skyrocketing, and chronic diseases are getting a run for their money. But hold your horses, or rather, your pot brownies — regulatory challenges, lack of clinical evidence, and lingering social stigma are the speed bumps on this green highway.

The Big Players —

Not Your Average Pot Farmers: In a market where cannabis is the new gold rush, big players are battling it out for supremacy. From the United Kingdom to Canada, Israel to Colombia, these companies are not your average pot farmers; they’re the pioneers of cannabis-derived pharmaceuticals. GW Pharmaceuticals, Tilray, and a bunch of others are not just growing plants; they’re growing entire portfolios of transdermal patches, inhalers, and oral medications. Talk about diversification!

Recent Developments —

Because Cannabis Is Not Slowing Down: If you thought cannabis was just blowing smoke, think again. Epidiolex got the European Medicines Agency nod, Tilray’s InsysRx Sativex got FDA approval, and Creso Pharma’s CannEpil is now TGA-approved in Australia. The cannabis revolution is not a slow burn; it’s a blazing trail of approvals and breakthroughs.

Key Trends —

More Than Just a Puff of Smoke: In a market where innovation is as common as a joint at a Willie Nelson concert, diverse product formats, pharmaceutical partnerships, and advanced extraction technologies are the key trends. From edibles to oils, collaborations to purifications — cannabis is not just a plant; it’s a versatile force to be reckoned with.

Conclusion —

Roll Credits on the Cannabis Pharma Blockbuster: As we wrap up this journey through the green fields of the Cannabis Pharmaceuticals Market, one thing is clear — it’s not just a market; it’s a revolution. From global acceptance to soaring growth rates, cannabis is proving to be the hero we didn’t know we needed. So, whether you’re a seasoned investor or someone who just appreciates a good herbal remedy, keep an eye on the cannabis market — it’s higher than you think!

WHAT MAKES A DRUG A DRUG | Drum sounds and good vibes are in the air and so is weed. Montreal. The summer sun has finally kissed the long winter goodbye and it’s time for Tam-Tams, an informal weekly music festival. The police tolerate the cannabis, as long as it isn’t consumed in front of kids. Marijuana isn’t legal here yet, but almost. Next month Canada will become the third country in the world to legalize weed; Trudeau following in the footsteps of legendary down to earth Uruguayan ex-president José Mujica and former Soviet Union country Georgia. After all, whether you find a substance on the index or on your supermarket shelf depends on the arbitrary label put on it by lawmakers. Alcohol and tobacco, two highly addictive and hazardous substances, are legal, while marihuana has been demonized and banned for the longest time, despite its medicinal value. Weed, shrooms, ayahuasca, opium, mescaline, cocaine, heroin – all these are plants or derived from plants and several of them have been in medicinal or recreational use for thousands of years. But the reason they’ve intrigued some is the same reason they’re feared by others: their ability to alter our perception and state of mind, shoving us out of the driver’s seat and take over control of our consciousness.

2021 Christmas Ads

‘Tis once again the season for heart-tugging holiday ads from around the world, in particular the UK where Christmas adverts are a much anticipated holiday tradition. Think big-budget, water cooler Super Bowl commercials in the U.S., but with more Santa.

We’re talking more mini-movie than mere sales pitch. Our family actually spends at least one night a season just watching our favorite holiday commercials, as much a tradition as any Christmas special.

To make them a little easier to find, I’ve compiled all the heartfelt, emotional and imminently re-watchable 2021 Christmas advert links on one page, as I also did in 2020. Unlike with my TV and theatrical lists, don’t strive to include every single ad with a Christmas tree or holiday pitch, just those that tell a story or particularly evoke those warm and fuzzy festive feels.

In alphabetical order by company name

Updated: December 30, 2021

Air Canada “Snowglobes Apart” - Sweet stop-motion snow globe love story.

Air New Zealand “A Magical Delivery” - Santa asks the airline for a little assistance and they get more than they bargained for.

Albert Heijn “The Greatest Little Love Story” - The Dutch supermarket chain brings you hamster holiday romance.

Aldi “Ebanana Scrooge” - Kevin the Carrot meet your newest pal.

Aldi “A Christmas Carrot” - This sweet animated story of Kevin the Carrot showing Ebanana Scrooge the error of his ways, has a fantastic kicker. There’s a reason Kevin has remained Aldi’s holiday spokesveg since 2016.

Aldi Australia “You Can’t Overcook Christmas” - The theme this season is definitely a more-is-more holiday, after austere and small 2020 gatherings.

Alpha Heating “Feels Like Home” - Unexpectedly touching animated ad for a furnace company.

Amazon “Kindness, The Greatest Gift” - Poignant and touching mini movie about the impact of reaching out.

Amazon Prime UK “An Unlikely Friendship” - A surly zookeeper and his unusual best friend.

Apple “Saving Simon” - This Jason and Ivan Reitman-directed, charming mini movie has a bit of a horror twist before the eventual happy ending.

Argos “Baubles to Last Year” - One of the many ads emphasizing how much we all missed out on last holiday season.

Asda “Make Christmas Spectacular” - Skating through the holiday season.

Barbour “Paddington, Please Look After This Bear” - Paddington returns to the British retailer’s ads.

BBC “This is Our Christmas” - Very funny look at celebrating the holidays with family.

Bergdorf Goodman “The Present Moment” - This Wes Anderson-directed spot is quirky yet drier than past Anderson holiday efforts, like his excellent 2016 H&M ad.

Big W “For the Love of Giving” - UK retailer focuses on the joy of giving.

BMW “Wherever the Holiday Takes You” - A holiday-party-phobic Christoph Waltz headlines as himself.

Board Gias Energy “Imagine a Better Way” - Sweet holiday ad with a simple but powerful ending.

Boots “Bags of Joy” - A bottomless Boots bag holds endless holiday joy.

British Airways “The Best Gift” - A rare Diwali commercial from the UK airline.

British Airways “Merry Christmas” - The airline offers special holiday gifts and upgrades to customers traveling to see family.

British Cycling “Inspiration is the Greatest Gift” - Well done ad that starts at the Tokyo Games and goes through Christmas, featuring gold medalist Charlotte Worthington.

Cann “A Lightly Lifted Christmas Story” - Cute ad starring Kate Hudson and Darren Criss for a weird product—a cannabis-infused drink—they’re both investors in.

Celebrations UK “The Lonely Bounty” - Unexpectedly funny and touching UK candy ad.

Chase “’Tis the Season for Cashbacking” - Catherine O’Hara and Kevin Hart star in a winking series of odes to Home Alone.

Chase “Cashbacking on Aisle 5″ - A lesser entry in the O’Hara-Hart Chase oeuvre.

Chevrolet “Holiday Ride” - Nostaligia and memories make for a special Christmas gift.

Chick-fil-A “Something Wonderful” - A sweet animated story about making the most of mistakes.

Chipotle “A Future Begins” - Kacy Musgraves’ music narrates this mini-movie promoting Chipotle’s work with local farmers.

Coca-Cola “Real Magic: Chimney” - The Coca-Cola Christmas ad rarely disappoints and never fails to make me cry.

Cycle King & Hawk Cycles “Everyone’s Invited” - A cheery Christmas party from the UK bike shop.

Debenhams “A Christmas Like Never Before” - A rhyming remembrance of all the time and interaction that has been lost and how special Christmas can be.

Disney UK “The Stepdad” - This lovely, animated clip, with its own original song, about forging new family bonds is a happy tearjerker, and also promotes Make-a-Wish.

Dutch State Lottery “Fritsie” - This New Year’s ad of love, luck and friendship continues a Dutch ad tradition with a new twist.

E.L.F Cosmetics “Big Mood, Big Elfing City” - crowd-sourced, mini-movie presented in three parts on TikTok. (Part 2 and Part 3)

Erste Group “Believe in Tomorrow” - The insurer’s animated original ads are always some of the best of the season and this sweet, wordless tale is no exception.

Etsy “Give More Than a Gift: Our Santa” - Another sweet family-centric ad from the crafting marketplace.

Etsy “Give More Than a Gift: The Recipe” - Touching family memories and celebrations; Etsy uses indie filmmakers to develop their ads and it shows.

Etsy “Give More Than a Gift: Bus Stop” - Developing story of holiday friendship.

Etsy “Give More Than a Gift: The Tradition” - UK Etsy ad is just as heartwarming.

Etsy “Gifts That Mean the World: Mozart” - This extended German Etsy ad is really touching.

Etsy “Gifts That Mean the World: Everlasting Love” - Short, but very sweet story of a couple. Think there’s a longer version of this one out there, but can’t find it.

Freeform Bite Size Holiday “The Ugliest of Them All” - To promote its 25 Days of Christmas programming, Freeform is airing for short holiday films from female filmmakers. This first from Caitlyn Sponheimer takes place at an ugly sweater party.

Freeform Bite Size Holiday “Everyday Saint, Nick” - To promote its 25 Days of Christmas programming, Freeform is airing for short holiday films from female filmmakers. This from E.G. Bailey and Sha Cage has apartment residents appreciating their handyman, Nick.

Freeform Bite Size Holiday “Brown Elephant” - To promote its 25 Days of Christmas programming, Freeform is airing for short holiday films from female filmmakers. This from Fawzia Mirza and Kausar Mohammed sees a Muslim family navigating a White Elephant party.

Freeform Bite Size Holiday “Keeping Up With the Claus” - To promote its 25 Days of Christmas programming, Freeform is airing for short holiday films from female filmmakers. This Jaanelle Yee sees a Gen Z elf working to modernize the naughty and nice list.

Frito-Lay “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year” - Jimmy Fallon and his real-life family star in this series of chip ads. There’s also a nice making-of video.

Gap “All Together Now” - Katy Perry sings the Beatles in this cozy and feel-good, but not overly festive, Gap ad.

Guinness “Good Things Are In Our Grasp” - Another ad with reuniting as its holiday 2021 theme.

Hobby Lobby “Christmas is What You Make It” - Hobby Lobby is one of the American outlets making sweet, long form holiday ads, though this isn’t as touching or smart as their 2020 ad.

Home Depot “Does Santa Shop Here?” - Clever Fairbanks, Alaska-based ad.

Holkham Hall “A Christmas Present” - The first long form holiday ad from the British estate/tourist attraction.

HomeGoods “Home Sweet HomeGoods” - Jillian Bell in a Home Goods-inspired mini holiday movie, part of an ongoing series of clever shorts Bell has done with the retailer, preceded by: episode 1, episode 2, episode 3, episode 4, episode 5 and episode 6.

Marks & Spencer “Percy Pig” - Dawn French is a holiday fairy in this sweet animated ad that also features Tom Holland as the voice of Percy.

Marks & Spencer “Make the Season Anything But Ordinary” - Not as star-filled as the M&S’s Percy Pig ad (see above), this bouncy Marshmallow World spot is still bouncy fun.

Matalan “Real Moments, Real Magic” - Simple, short story but gives good holiday feels.

McDonald’s UK “Imaginary Iggy” - Easily my favorite of the year so far. And, yes, I balled. Reminds me quite a bit of my all-time favorite ad, “Lily and the Snowman,” yet still holds up on its own.

Meijer “I’m Thankful” - Yet another ad reflecting on being able to spend time with family, no matter how annoying.

RSPCA “What the World Needs Now” - Puppy-centered charity appeal with music from Lady Blackbird, good dogs and bad people.

Sainsbury’s “A Christmas to Savour” - Sainsbury’s has made some of my all-time favorite Christmas ads, and while this isn’t a Mog-level classic, it’s still a sweet and sentimental look at Christmas celebrations delayed, which is the theme for so many UK ads this season.

Sports Direct “Go All Out” - A bevy of famous sports faces indulge in a holiday snowball fight in this sporting goods store ad.

Sprite “Gingerbread” - Eric Andre directs this series of Sprite commercials spoofing holiday specials and celebrating Black holiday spirit.
