      TABLE OF CONTENTS

        We don’t know about you but some of us start to feel the holiday spirit when Holiday Ads start to pop up around. Or when pumpkin spice lattes become a thing, at any rate, in terms of advertising, some of the most effective methods to create brand loyalty is to remind audiences that your brand is present year-round, and -as we all know- Christmas advertising cannot be overlooked. The holidays are a great opportunity for companies to stand out creatively, and top brands know exactly how to do it. 

        We have chosen the best holiday advertising with creative print ads to inspire you for your next holiday sale - fair warning: there will be lots of trees made out of things.

        Take a Look at This Compilation of Creative Holiday Print Ads:

        Starbucks: Layered Up

        McDonald's: Way to Make Us Beg for More

        This ad spreads holiday cheer while making us crave fries. We love the concept -trees made out of things are quite popular during the holidays - but we can't help but feel the background falls a little flat. However, whether it was Photoshopped or masterfully created by some commercial food whiz -they score awesome points for the simple feat of making us want to take one.

        Publicis Singapore

        “Every good idea begins with a pencil”. It is an effective way to send seasonal greetings and another creative way to make the core value of the business stand out. Although trees are one of the most emblematic images of the season, it's still refreshing to see them done differently in each ad, and with casual simplicity.

        Apple: Minimalist Design:

        Apple is known for its uncluttered approach to design. It does not get cleaner than this.

        Veet: The Holidays can be Funny Too

        We're laughing. Are you? It gets to the point in an innovative, clever, and amusing way.

        IKEA: Actually Possible

        Is there a better way for IKEA to say Happy Holidays? The adorable bookcase tree is actually achievable if you want to showcase an interesting and different tree at home. Also, it's kind of perfect for the lazy reader.

        Fedex: Thinking In The Box

        Sometimes, out of the box is not what you're looking for. We would have liked actual boxes better, but the sentiment's the same -a gift inside.

        Domino's Pizza: Pure Delight

        A slice of pizza with red salami and green peppers - delicious. Enough said. And because, not all Holiday Ads are Christmas Trees, these are our top picks for traditional and clever advertising in print.

        InBev: Refreshing

        InBev is a leading brewing company. It's almost like Santa's beer waiting for him after a long night delivering presents. It is an awesome way to advertise their product.

        Sky Cinema HD: Epic

        There's so much win in this holiday marketing we're just gonna be quiet about it.

        Coca-Cola: Cheerful and fun

        Many people associate Coca-Cola with Christmas, and that’s because they practically invented holiday campaign as we know it. The Coca-Cola Company began its Christmas ads circa 1920, and its long trajectory has strengthened the image of Coca-Cola throughout the years. Each year, they work hard to outdo the last. No compilation would ever be complete without one of their pieces:

        Nestle: Sweet and Creative

        Nestle comprises more than 2000 brands worldwide. Each December, the Company launches a series of special products dedicated to Christmas time like the "Christmas Boxes". This is actually an affordable idea you can do yourself.

        If you wanted to follow the model, simply arrange some o your products in the shape of some holiday-themed image -like this reindeer, to break from the tree tradition- and have it photographed for superior quality. You can probably also have a designer do it for you on Photoshop or similar. How about you: What is the best Christmas ad you have ever seen? Let us know in the comment section below.
