Christmas M&M commercial


I chose this past M&M Christmas advertisement because I wanted to see an ad that was fun and family oriented.  It seems to be challenging to find an advertisement online today that is appropriate for the entire family, so I had to search for a bit to find this one.  I remember when this ad first appeared on television.  It captivated my attention back then, and still does today.  The animated characters of M&M are comedic and innocent which is striking.  Also, I find the setting of the advertisement attractive, with its decorative Christmas tree and appearance of the Santa character.
This advertisement relates to class content because it portrays many aspects which make an advertisement successful.  This advertisement for M&M uses the two popular yellow and red M&M characters which are now notable characters of the brand.  These characters are comedic, have spirit, and a personality which can captivate the attention of people of all ages.  In addition, this advertisement was created to fit the holiday season which made the advertisement more appealing since it adapted with the interests of the audience.  This commercial was overall successful because it is simple, to the point, amusing, and adapted well to the season.
