I've been seeing a lot of Christmas ads lately. And not just the Balsam Hill ad that's been running for a while. Wayfair is already airing its Christmas commercials and there's one for Crocs with people getting all giddy decorating their ugly wiffle ball shoes. 

Fortunately all I'm seeing is the new OTC ED cream ad. 😉

Gotta love how Halloween isn't even done and Christmas is being advertised.

In a decade or so we'll probably start seeing Christmas commercials on July 5th.

There is nothing commercial about Thanksgiving. In other words, no money to be made, so it is on to Christmas straight from Halloween, only they aren't even waiting for Halloween to be over!!

Fortunately(???), this year, we also have the political ads and the ever present Medicare supplement ads to dilute the Christmas pool some for a while....

Maybe, but Thanksgiving commercials were a thing back in the day. Not sure if they still are, since when I watch non-streaming TV, commercials for me are for toilet breaks, running to the kitchen, replying back on whatsapp, etc.

Granted, even before Thanksgiving, Christmas commercials would creep in anyway lol

I saw very few Halloween commercials this year. Christmas is refusing to stay in its lane this year. 

Me too. Other than the Reese's Kit Kat trick or treating commercial people seem to hate, but I think is funny, I did see the Geico chain saw ad, but it was after Halloween. As for Christmas, let's blame it on Hallmark. They start airing their treacly sweet Christmas movies 24/7 in October.

A local radio station has already switched to all Christmas music.

Do you live in the lower Hudson Valley? I put a local station on while I was doing some tedious task in the kitchen on Friday and was dumbfounded. Apparently that's their "thing." Do we really need two months of Christmas music? I just wanted some low key "old people's music" like they usually play.

I don't watch regular TV a lot anymore, so I usually manage to avoid commercials, unless they appear on youtube and can't be clicked away. But this one seems to be so popular that I've seen an article about it, so I had to look it up. It's pretty ok, I think, obviously very timely with the idea of being in our own bubbles.

 

And while I'm here, I liked this one last year:

I found this DoorDash ad funny. However, I wonder why the gift wasn't in a separate bag from the store in order to keep it hidden.

I saw the Hershey's Kisses bells just now!  And it was the original.  Whew!

I saw the original and the other one. The original appears more frequently, however.

That is so blah compared to the Coca Cola polar bears commercials. 

Agreed. This one will always be my favorite, despite polar bears and penguins living on different sides of the world.

I've seen both, but the last few times, it's been the reworked one.  I think this was such a missed opportunity for Hershey.  They could've had a really cute commercial featuring the father and daughter making cookies without despoiling the bells one.  As it is, we all just complain about it.

The Zales commercial that uses the song "¿Dónde Está Santa Claus?" needs to go on a blind date with Art the Clown. 

I don’t know what that means.   But I will say that if they will immediately stop playing that, I will not only. Invite Lume lady to go for happy hour drinks, I will go clothes shopping with the original “dancing” Jardiance lady.

That commercial and the M&M's with Santa are my favorite holiday commercials.  

Up until a few days ago, I never knew it had a sequel.

I saw that crappy ad, and wondered to myself what was pulling the sleigh at the end. There's no reindeer.
