- These are the vintage Christmas commercials from the 1970's that all Baby Boomers (and some Generation Xers) will remember fondly. It is a bit sad to think about how many of these brands and stores are no longer around.

So what is your favorite 70's Christmas commercial? Leave a comment below and let us know!
There are so many different types that jar certain memories, events, experiences, and other childhood adventures. I used to love the Christmas 🎄 holidays because the 📺TV📺shows were all Christmas themed. The commercials were all Christmas themed. Getting the Sears Wish Book, or the JC Penny's Christmas Catalog was ALWAYS a special time! I loved the Toys R Us ads with Geoffrey. The Norelco Razor where 🎅Santa🤶rides the razor over the snow covered hills! Epic! So many jingles, commercial "tunes" that were extremely catchy! These really make me miss my childhood! Speaking of Jingles? The 🎵🎵song🎵🎵 I'd like to by the world a Coke! That was a favorite I had. Singing along to it, with my Mom. So many beautiful memories! Epic and heartwarming!
Santa riding the Norelco razor. I knew it was Christmas time when I saw that one.
"I'd like to teach the world to sing...," Andre Champagne 🍾, Hershey kisses, Norelco, any local store greetings and the TV stations' Holiday best wishes, ads for local highschool choruses présentations of Christmas music usually aired Christmas Eve. Thanks for sharing the commercials! Christmas blessings! ✨🎄🙏☮️
The Budweiser Clydesdale commercial. Ed McMahon did the voice over
Mainly u s adverts hopefully wanted British ones.😢
If I could go back in time, I would only change one thing. I would take more time to enjoy when life was simpler for me.
Same
Yes, it was definitely a simpler time, but for me, the 1970s were pure hell. My parents divorced in 1970 and my mom, sister and I must've moved over a dozen times through the decade, so needless to say, school and making lasting friendships were a real struggle. I wouldn't go back if you paid me! For me, the '80s were a much calmer and more stable decade.
Me too
But - i love WATCHING stuff like shows and these kinds of things from the 70s (plus it's when star wars came out)
But I would love to LIVE in the 80s again
@@jamesdavison2927 I hear you mate...I must've gone to see Star Wars 3 or 4 times when it first came out in '77!
Yes wasn’t it? We watch Talking Picture’s channel Another reminder of how great it was but we didn’t know it.
Can I just go back? I just turned 66 and don’t want to leave this earth with memories of how our country and world is now. Please?
Me too 66 🙏
Same. (I get you)
I agree and am ready to travel back.
Me too! ❤
Yup you said it best
Those were the days my friend, we thought they’d never end.
We’d sing and dance forever, and a day. It was the life we’d choose, we’d fight and never lose, those were the days, oh yes those who were the days.
(Thanks for your comment and the memories)
Warm wishes to you. :-)
The incandescent Christmas lights in the 70s looked much better than the LED ones they’re pushing today.
Yup, they sure do. I'm still using incandescents in my Christmas display.
@@user-hq9uu5lb4hthey actually last too !
My whole house has incandescent right now, don't like the LED's at all.
My entire house is LED including my christmas lights. You can buy LED bulbs that give off the same colour light as old incandescent bulbs. Just pay attention to the type/temperature you're buying.
Of course!, these led's (light emitting diodes ) don't give nearly the same beautiful glow as the glass bulbs.They're all we can get now because they consume less electricity and they're safer. Even the glass bulbs of chromy colors and the frosted ones were beautiful too but step on one and you got cut real bad and they contained lead causing infections. So tree decorations have changed for safety reasons but nothing is like our old vintage decorations which had far more eye catching sparkle !
To me it wasn't Christmas time until I saw the Santa Claus riding through the snow on a Norelco Triple head. I haven't seen that for many years until just now on this video! Thank you for making an old man's Christmas wish come true!
That is the exact commercial I was hoping to see on this commercial montage.
I was thinking the same thing!!! Loved that commercial!!!
The coolest fact is that as of the moment of me writing this reply to your comment, Jim, it says you wrote it 12 days ago. "On the 12 days of christmas....". I thought that was pretty special, especially given the topic of your comment. Have the Merriest Christmas and not just a Happy New Year, but may all of 2024 keep you in top form, healthy, happy and content with everything :)
Same here. I always knew it was really Christmas time when I saw that commercial.
Me too!
I'd love to time travel back to the 1970s! I miss those days!
before internet and 3 channels and shops
Me too, but at the time, we didn't know how great it was....
Do what I did. Convert your Mountain Bike into a Mustang.
High-rise handlebars, Banana Seat, Sissy Bar, Metallic Paint Job! I've moved back to 1973, and I'm staying there!
i love the Norelco commercial where Santa is riding on the Norelco shaver
Me too. I think the first one was in 1965 during the first Rudolph (Rankin-Bass) tv showing. I remember it well!
Yes, we used to look forward to the new one each year, lol. Merry Christmas!
@@user-xi7gz6sz4w Yes, they used to come on during Rudolph each year. So fun.
ME TOO RICKY BOBBY 💖. MY MIND IS HAPPY.
My dad Had one of those shavers and he'd be a hundred and four years old Now and I still have it said it was the best razor ever
Back when life was real ❤
back when they said "Merry Christmas" too.
It sure was!! The best!!
I think the world needs those Coke commercials right now...
10 months later, and the world is at war.
Coke still spells the Holidays NAFLD.
Just not the coke
i tried to bring it back ......... they said i am too white
No, just the coke by itself. Original recipe.
I'm just here time traveling trying to bring back some of those lovely Christmas vibes from past years.
Anyone else wish we had these prices back?
These commercials bring me to tears sometimes. Because I lived those times, and the Christmases of those more innocent eras are more genuine and heartfelt. When carolers would walk in the neighborhoods bringing Christmas joy, when people weren't afraid of a genuine "Merry Christmas", and you saw genuine smiles on people's faces as they rushed around for those last minute gifts from mom and pop stores. Such amazing times when little Susie's face was lit up when she unwrapped her Betsy doll and Jimmy's eyes with joy when he unwrapped his first slot car set.
What happened? Why is all that is left of these moments is videos on CZcams? Has technology blinded us so much about the simplicity and meaning of Christmas we find joy in Amazon? Or drown out sorrows with Netflix and a bottle of Scotch? I tried to keep the magic in my home with old Sears Christmas catalogs, old bubble tube ornaments and a "Deck the Halls" record compilation. Just wished some would remember that Christmas is about giving.
Too much corruption. Now people especially females show hatefulness and/or Charlie Brown blues.
Liberals took over
What happened was you grew up. You're parents are no longer there taking care of everything for you. I hope you're doing a better job of doing the same for your children than this comment suggests.
I was crying during those COKE commercials! 😢😥
People are not afraid of a genuine, "Merry Christmas," nor a genuine, "Happy Holidays,". Some try to manufacture offense or derision where none exists. Bing Crosby sang the song, "Happy Holidays," in 1942. Many people know what Christmas is all about. We can cherish our memories and keep the magic each year. PS Not the best screen name for someone bemoaning a loss of joy. Hmmm...
Thanks for the memories I’m 62 years old and I remember all of those commercials!!!!
I just turned 60 and just happened to find this on CZcams tonight. Pretty nostalgic
63, Same here.
62 here too and I only remember about 4 of them, my mom was real strict about how much tv we watched even back then and the later years I was probably partying ✌️
70, and my favorite memory here is “I’d like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony”..🎶❤️
These commercials would have been perfect to show my Dad during his last days in the hospital. So much comfort in watching them. RIP Dad 🙏🏼❤️
Thanks for sharing
I am sorry for your loss! I'm sure he's still with you in spirit. ❤
My dad’s gone too. These commercials bring back so many memories of Christmas with both parents.
My Mom 🎄🎄made Christmas beautiful for us kids. My dad gave us the magic and joy. I miss them so much. ❤❤
Life without so much Technology. What a different world it was 🙂
The 70’s had most everything other than the internet & cell phones .
It was a richer fuller life for sure. I wish I could go back all the time.
So blessed to have been a child of the 70s. Wouldnt trade it for a billion dollars.
At 57, I feel like I hit the lottery growing up with the media, malls, and toys of the 70s and 80s and young enough to usher in and understand the digital age, internet and all this fun 😂!
I'm 58...and want to go back to 1976 and stay there ☺
Lets all find a portal and go back!!
I was 8 years old in 1971 when the original 'I'd Like To Teach the World to Sing' Coca-Cola commercial first aired, and I've never forgotten it. During the mid to late seventies(and well into the 80s and 90s), it was resurrected several times, as in the revamped Disney version in this video, but the original was the best IMO. Quite the 'stroll' down memory lane!
I was 11 and saved coke caps to send for a 45 rpm of this song. It arrived in a Manila envelope in many pieces😢. I’m sure I would still have it if it were in one piece 😄
The coke one unexpectedly made me burst into tears. It's weird how commercials are making me feel nostalgic and sad... lol
It’s not weird, it’s the sadness being released of what things are today. You’re not alone.
@@dustyflats3832 Thank you
Lydia can I buy you a Coke? I’ll bring the tissues. Lol
@@TC-dw6wg Ha! Yes!
The big reason we love the 70's is that we all still had our lives ahead of us. Now, we have lived those lives. Like everyone, I wish I could go back and do some things differently, but we all did what seemed best at the time. I enjoy looking back and comparing how I viewed those commercials then compared to how I view them now. Really, people haven't changed that much, they never do.
These commercials are so soft and gentle. Nowadays commercials are shouting at you to buy their products.
I miss the SEARS catalogue! I used to “study,” that!!! ❤
If time travel was available I would go back to the 70’s when life was more simple
I long for the simple times.
Watching this I’m immediately a kid again! It’s bittersweet to look back and see how lucky we were as kids in the 70’s and 80’s-if we’d only known. It’s sad that our kids never got to experience childhood like we did. It really was the best time to be a kid.❤
Take me back to the 70s. Times were much better, and so was the music.
The commercials featured people who could actually sing and beautiful melodies.
I used to love the Kmart Christmas commercial/jingle when I was a kid. I remember all these commercials. Such a simpler time. Fun times!
Commercials today don't have jingles anymore
I agree with you. The “Wake “ culture is destroying everything.
That’s because most commercials are for PRESCRIPTION DRUGS and they use gimmicky songs to push them!
Bear in mind that back then, most commercials had 60 seconds to get their message across to you.. Today they have at best, 30 seconds to 'hit you over the head'. There just isn't any time for subtlety, charm, or an unforgettable jingle anymore.
Too busy conditioning you to celebrate interracial and homosexual couples.
That’s because they steel old pop music songs to push some drug, and have fat people dancing around!!
I remember those commercials! I wish I could go back to that time. Had a wonderful time in the 70’s!! 💖🎄
The one that said Christmas of 1976 got me...because our dad had died in October, and my brother was 14 and I was 16, and Christmas sucked. That was the year we grew up and nothing was the same again.
Sorry to hear that. What happened?
It was the same for us in 1975.My Dad had a massive stroke in September of that year (my senior year had just started).Life changed that year,but we still had our faith and our family-the best gifts you could get!
I'm from UK. Same thing happened to me. I was 13. My dad died of a brain tumour in August 76. Life turned upside down. Never the same. Altered my view of life forever. Christmas was Same for me too.
My dad died the week before Christmas in 1978, when I was 14. But oddly, it wasn't a horrible Christmas...Mom knew that she couldn't ignore it, and made it as good as she could. And everyone pulled together, friends and family, and it was o.k.
I had no dad. I had a grandpa, and he was the best! He died a few days after Thanksgiving in 1977. Christmas sucked that year, and I was just 8. Never had a Christmas since I was 7.
Back before life became too complicated.
The commercials had heart and made you happy what a different world it was
If we could only go back and stay there...😍😢
oh, my….i started to cry during the Coke Christmas tree commercial…the lyrics, those global faces, the sweet song…they certainly nailed who we SHOULD be-every day of the year.
Here in 2023 ….Sending heartfelt blessings and love to all for a season of peace and a new year of kindness!!💕
😢❤
I was age 10-19 in the 1970s so these are all vivid memories of my Christmases. I remember almost every single one of these ads.
Im same age as you! I graduated class of '78. You and me was the target demographic of MTV! lol! I comfortably pissed the 80s away watching MTV.
@@Izumi-sp6fp I may have been the target demo for MTV, but for the most part I hated it. They seldom showed videos of the performers and kinds of music I liked. They lumped practically all the metal videos into one block on Saturday night (Headbangers' Ball), and most of that was the hair metal/pop metal stuff that largely appealed to teen girls, their REAL target demo.
Class of 79 for HS. Merry Christmas
@@TC-dw6wg Merry Christmas to you too.
. Class of '79 also, I watched early MTV but after awhile it just seemed monotonous, same old videos. Love these old commercials 😊
i like these commercials so much better than the ones that are on TV today
Everything was better back then!
thanks for doing this. I remember most of them and one thing that's different from the ads today is that everyone is so happy and touching/hugging each other with a jingle to sing! LOL
One of my favorites as a kid in the 70s was the Toys R Us commercial!
I always liked the Budweiser Clydesdales commercial and the Miller beer commercial. Both are instrumental, country scenes of days gone by and remind of Christmases as a kid. The Kmart commercial at 9:20 is nice too.
Hey!! Mrs. Costanza in another nostalgic Christmas commercial. Cool.
Santa riding in the Norelco shaving bottom was always among my favorites, as well as the one with little toddler Corey Feldman giving Santa the McDonald's gift certificate, and the little girl & her college brother surprising Mom & Dad with a pot of Maxwell House coffee. ☕
Actually, it as Folgers coffee not Maxwell House.
I thought that was her! 😂
I never realized how internationally loved those Coke commercials were till I lived overseas and everyone from every country knew and loved them.
My favorite commercials are: Foldgers Coffee when Peter surprises his family by coming home for Christmas waking them up with the aroma of fresh coffee brewing. And when Jeffery and his family are putting on their coats to go out to Toys R' Us. And the Nestly Toll House cookies when the family visits grandma/grandad to make cookies.
Couldn't you just smell the coffee yourself ☕
The little boy bringing a gift certificate to Santa brought a tear to my eye. Thank you for posting these wonderful commercials! Brought back so many memories! That little boy in the McDonald commercial has to be Corey Feldman!
Yes, I thought the same. Looks like young Corey.
It is Corey
Holy crap i tots forgot about Hickory Farms! Now I want Summer sausage and cheese. Thanks for jogging the memory banks.⛄🧀😃🎅
The bacon cheese flavor was the best
They still exist online
I miss those days on holidays the most because everyone was still alive and we were having those big get togethers at on grandparent's or the other and everyone was there and they lasted for hours. Havent really had one in 20 years or more
So true!
Corey Feldman was the kid that left Santa the gift certificate!🤩🙂💖
I thought that looked like him.
Odd how, being 56 in 2023, it was like yesterday. I knew nearly everyone....ahhh, the memories.
I remember in 1979, wearing the Burger King uniform. Also, met my husband while working the specialty sandwich station next to his fry station. 43 years later, here we are. ❤
That's so cute! 💕
Those commercials brought back a lot of memories, I saw Sarah Michelle Gellar, Leah Thompson, &'Elisabeth Shue in the Burger King ad, Ricky Schroeder in the Kodak ad & Corey Feldman in McDonald Gift certificate ad. I also had a "Learning Professor" math game back then. We had some good times!
The commercial with Bing Crosby was the best. My parents had a few of those Goodyear/Firestone Christmas albums!!
I loved it back then. Simple electronics, a touch tone phone or even rotary, TV with only a few channels, a hand written letter, or Christmas card in the mailbox, and fast food restaurant gift certificates, not gift cards.
I think people actually liked one another back then.
What's happened to us? I feel blessed to have been a young adult back then.
Praying for peace and love this Christmas.
I remember how prevalent Ziggy greeting cards were
Now if I could only watch the champagne glasses toasting to Carol of the Bells! Then it would really feel like Christmas 😊
That Kmart jingle slaps me in the feels every time.
I'd love to go through all the major department stores catalogs at Christmas
A time that seemed so magical and peaceful, men & women had class and had a high moral compass
You mean the era of Richard Nixon and Watergate?
@@PapagenoMF better than the era of alphabet mobs and pedos
@@jlambe19 You're kidding right? Please study a little history. There were far left and far right groups during this era. Plenty child abusers who were getting away with their crimes far more frequently than they do now. Look at the Catholic Church in the 70s, just for starters...
Yep.....better than f'n pizza gate!
@@PapagenoMFyou need to educate yourself kid. Nixon was set up. Info available if you want to pursue it. And yes we had class and high morals, something the young lacl now! We've become a nation of shit!
Ben Franklin, Radio Shack gone but not forgotten
And Woolworth, and K-Mart! You could get practically EVERYTHING needed for Christmas at those two stores.
Thanks so much for posting these wonderful commercials ! The mess that is on now is really sad ! It was a time when people seemed kinder and normal . I sure do miss those days !
Normal doesn’t exist anymore in this bizarre reality of 2023. I also miss those great days even though some were really difficult to deal with because of circumstances. Angb7374 have a wonderful holiday season and if I figure out my Time Machine I’ll text ya! 😂
You are so right!
These Christmas ads from the 1970s bring back a whole lot of memories of when I was a young boy growing up. If I had my own personal time machine? I could flash back to those years where those ads came from!
I remember some of these Not all. But like others have said, a simpler and kinder time. This inspires me to try and keep it simpler this year. Slow down. Appreciate the little things.
I love Christmas commercials from the past where they actually say Merry Christmas not Happy Holidays all the time.
I also remember the time of these commercials. People still say Merry Christmas. So what if peoplex also say Happy Holidays? It was also a common thing to say in the past, too. It may be more common now, but what's wromg in trying to include people who might not celebrate Christmas but want to celebrate and enjoy the season? Anyway, people are still free to say Merry Christmas and I guarantee no one will be upset. That's just Fox "News" propaganda BS.
@@tophers3756 Well said! I still say Merry Christmas most of the time, unless I'm talking to someone I know doesn't celebrate.
@@tophers3756yeah..besides Joy Behar from The Spew told you so.
@@BIGLOVE4TRUTH what a bizzare response. I know who she is, but I don't watch her show. I'm speaking from experience and reality. This Happy Holidays/Merry Christmas nonsense is simply right-wing propaganda pushed every year.
I'm often nostalgic for things from decades ago, and certainly things were simpler in many ways. That said we need to stop fetishing the past through a nostalgic haze and pretending they weren't worse in many ways as well. Personally I was treated much worse to damaging affect having grown up in the 70s and 80s than if I were growing up now.
@@tophers3756not really, many employees are told not to say Merry Christmas, at least it was that way especially at a library. We couldn’t wear a cross either-had to be totally neutral.
Joe DiMaggio for Mister Coffee. I saw him in Dinky Donuts. He's a dunker.
😂😂😂😂 Did you make a noise and slam your fist on the table?
How cool were those days??!!. I mean we had Johnny Cash (the old Man in Black himself) selling toy trains!! Now in 2023 we have parents putting their baby boys in Christmas dresses and soon Frosty the Snowman I'm sure will eventually be canceled and replaced with a drag queen Christmas special 😂😂 Sad times we are living in. Sad times indeed
13:33 that’s little Corey Feldman in the McDonald’s commercial. My favorite is Norelco!
I had one of the Petable Portable Radios from Radio Shack. Mine was a white dog I forgot all about that. 😊 I am 60 and this brings back some great memories.
I had that one too!
My Dad was a mime and we lived in the rural NC mountains so he didn't get much work. When Christians came we all got tons of toys. So much family came and made pallets on the floor to sleep. I grew up and Mom confessed her family always paid for our Christmas :)
I found a book with green stamps in it, not filled out yet. Dang. We could have gotten something!
Christmas spirit was alive and well back then. Christmas wasn’t promoted until after Thanksgiving, families were closer and kids weren’t spoiled brats that didnt know what they wanted for xmas because mommy and daddy have already given them everything. Kids were respectful and parents made sure of it…..anyone that lived back then knows how money, gluttony, cell phones have destroyed this world…..Merry Christmas…oh wait…Happy Holidays, I dont want to offend someone…
You will offend me if you DON'T say "Merry Christmas"! Don't stop saying it.
Merry Christmas guys!
02:14 Oh man look at those beautiful blinking floral petal reflector lights. If those don't scream 70's Christmas, such indelible childhood memories!
Loved the one for Miller High Life with the one horse open sleigh going through the snowy landscape while “I’ll Be Home For Christmas “ is playing.
At 1:49, there's a short clip of a guy placing a call "with the touch of a button." Man, I remember when I got my mom a speed dialer in the late 1970s. She LOVED it, but had one complaint. She didn't like that, because her frequently called numbers were stored in the machine, she didn't have them memorized any more. That first dialer held eight numbers. EIGHT! And my mom had to carefully decide which numbers to store in it. I later upgraded her to a machine that held 16 numbers. A few years later, I came home to live with her for a short period. I found that she was still only using half the machine's capacity, so I put my own eight numbers into it.
Of course, for some of those reading this, understand that this was when the household had ONE phone, and it was plugged into a jack in ONE room of the house. This was a step up, of course. Originally, the phone was hard wired into the wall. If you wanted a different phone, you had to call the phone company, they would tell you what choices you had, which was basically ONE kind of phone, but you could choose your colors. Wow! Then, a technician would come to your house, remove the old phone, and put in the new one. This didn't happen very often, because most people had a black phone and never saw a reason to use anything different.
One day, the technician came and replaced the old phone that was permanently wired to the wall, with a new one that could plug into a modular jack. Things changed rapidly after that. Around this same time, the phone companies opened stores in the malls where you could pick out a phone in a rainbow of colors, take it home, and plug it into the jack by yourself. It was after this that I got my mom the speed dialer. Those old hard-wired phones, with rotary dials (it took like 10 seconds to dial each number) were around for decades. Once phones were connected by modular jacks, suddenly you could have a phone in several rooms, even in your bedroom, but they were all on the same line. That means whenever anyone called your house, every phone rang.
I imagine that kids growing up in households with multiple cell phones could hardly wrap their minds around the concept of each family having ONE phone and one phone number for the entire family. That if two people wanted to call someone, they had to wait their turn. That you had to limit your time so that others could make their calls. That the parents had the right to tell you to get off the phone ... NOW ... because they had important calls to make. Parents paid for the service but also for the number of calls made on the phone and "Long Distance" meant individual calls to places farther away cost more. But they cost less after a certain hour of the day, so we stayed up late to call Grandma and Grandpa. Ah! Those were the days.
I love it. Bring back great memories.
A stroll down memory lane.
I love this kind of stuff.
My moms favorite and we still see it today is Hershey’s kisses like bells that jingle to Wish You A Merry Christmas
These really take me back, it's really nice NOT to see those damn big pharma commercials all the time!!!!!!
Excellent point! And to not see those damned "Hey, I was in an accident, and S.A. Shiester goy me a MILLION dollars!".
YES! Or those Medicare, funeral home and incontinence commercials. And what the other post said. Wish they could ban them all.
Big Pharma kills more people than it helps
I want the 70s back😢😢😢😢
I haven't seen the Pillsbury dough boy in forever 🍪
I miss arther treacher, wonderful fish and chips.
😢🐟🍟Me, too!
Oh yeah!
There was a Ben Franklin 5 & Dime across the street from our Grandparents' back in the 70s with a Piggly Wiggly behind it. My 2 younger brothers and I would buy model ships, planes and cars and assemble them at home. However, Dad hated the smell of 'airplane' glue so we had to use Elmer's Glue All. I had a model of USS Halsey that you could float in the sink or bathtub after assembly. The Elmer's dissolved in the water and the ship fell apart in the tub. I then put it back together and placed it on the dresser and never sailed it again.
😂😂😂😂
Back when things were priced at a reasonable price.
From what the commercials say it's 1978 when these aired. The inflation rate was 7.59%. I'm sure people then would say "prices are crazy high!!" Today the inflation rate is 3.14%. The 70's were not a time of "reasonable prices."
@@sarahb7861I don’t know where you live , but I pay at least 40% more for groceries then I did three years ago .
@@sarahb78613.14%? I’d believe you if it wasn’t for a little thing called intelligence. It’s apparent you choose to believe whatever is thrown at you today by whatever mass media you follow. Do the math for yourself and watch for all the catches to these untrue and unrealistic numbers.
3.14% hahaha!
My generation we learned to think for ourselves. Don’t allow yourself to be deluded so quickly and you’ll see the erroneous statement holds no truth.
Miss those days. I know the times change, but they seemed so much simpler then.
Even Santa Clause looked happier in those old commercials. He was glowing!
Oh wow the BK commercial near the start of the video, Sarah Michelle Gellar! She really SLAYED her performance!
😂😂! I see what ya did there.
İ actually do remember When people gave speacialized home phones as gifts Was pretty cool ..😉
Hickory Farms gifts still look the EXACT same 😂
Got buzzed, watched the whole thing, then it was over and it's freakin 2023
Wish my family had visited Taco Bell for those 12 days of Christmas glasses, but we didn’t have one in town. But I did love Hickory Farms. Especially the cheese ball. We saved it for either Christmas Eve or NY eve. Very special
Watching commercials and getting annoyed at CZcams commercials 😂
Yes. I got annoyed when CZcams served up a Christmas commercial while I was watching Christmas commercials.
I loved Arthur Treacher’s Fish and Chips!!! It was part of my childhood!!! Far better than Long John Silver’s!!!
You bet! My parents used to pick up Arthur Treacher's Fish & Chips once a week for dinner. We thought it was GOOD seafood for a fast food place, and that is quite a compliment coming from Marylanders, who cherish great seafood.
Loved ATF&C!
K-Marts were GREAT stores for ANY holidays and not just Christmastime--When everything was being sold online, they became obsolete--SO SAD!
K-Mart was one of my favorite places as a kid. My mom and I did not have much money and I understood that, but I genuinely loved to just walk around and look at stuff. They had a little "eatery" too. Browsing toys, looking at album covers, and a having a grilled cheese with pickles added. That was a good Saturday afternoon.
Makes me want to get on pj's glass of milk with grahm cracker with jam on top. Love the coke commercial
Graham Crackers!! I loved them when I was a child. Going to have to get a box now.
61 here and yes I surely remember all these commercials sitting on the floor in the living room watching TV in PJs. Simple life right?? Mom and dad alive making our Christmas so special for me and my sisters. I guess that's why they call them memories because that's all I have left now. I know my mom and dad are proud of me for keeping their tradition alive. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!
Merry Christmas and Happy New year to you Doreen!
@@TC-dw6wg 🧑🎄🧑🎄⛄⛄ tyvm Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you also!
Back when the world made sense…
Was that a little Corey Feldman in the McDonald's commercial?
Wow, what a time warp!
Seeing this prodded an oddly specific memory of being in high school (1970s), and a girl randomly telling me one day…
”You know that new Coke commercial with a bunch of people singing? Well, the guy wearing a football jersey(4:36) looks exactly like you!”.
I like to watch old commercials from an era before I was born. I missed the seventies entirely and wasn't born until the eighties so I am a millennial. These are still way better than today's commercials.
I remember all these commercials! Makes me appreciate the way things were back then in comparison how things are now!
Forgot so many of these, and many of the products, too. 😊
S&H Greenstamps, almost forgot about those!!!!!😮
