British retailer Marks and Spencer welcomed the holidays in style with its 'The Art of Christmas' campaign. The extravagant commercial featured an elaborate set full of surprise and spectacle.
The campaign follows in the footsteps of Marks and Spencer's fashion and food ads, continuing the 'Art Of' tagline. This time however, much of the whimsical elements in other ads are brought together for the brand's Christmas celebration. Fashion models, glitter balls and oversized gift-wrapped boxes adorn the video, with kids jumping in excitement. The entire ad spot is set to Mark Ronson's upbeat 'Uptown Funk,' echoing previous M&S ads.
In only one minute in a half, the fast-moving ad spot is able to feature an array of the store's offerings, with an abundance of Christmas ideas to get you set for holiday gifts and parties.
