This Christmas fall in love all over again with Sears at the airport and run into the appliances...again.
Sears gives us this Christmas Holiday season's romantic comedy of the year with a great new ad, "Connecting Flights". The spot shows us how sometimes you fall in love, and sometimes you run into it. The commercial disguised as a movie trailer, tells the story of a young couple (Eddy and Shannon) who meet and fall in love at an airport after having their flights cancelled, sadly it ends much the same but still as funny as the original couple who ran into the fridge in the "Beach" ad, see it HERE.

Cartier invites you to enjoy its magical Winter Tale, two panther cubs play hide and seek in a snow-laden forest of fir trees. These mischievous cubs lead us on an enchanting adventure. Follow their journey, filled with discoveries and precious gifts.

Panthers were first introduced to us in Cartier's ad/film "L'Odyssée de Cartier", a journey between dream and reality (below). For the very first time, Cartier has decided to create a cinema epic focusing on its history, its values and inspiration, its artistic and universal scope. Directed by: Bruno Aveillan.

For those of us who wont be shopping for the luxuriously wonderful things from Cartier, Target has a really "Big Dog" in their Holidays are Coming ad, see it HERE.

Lance Armstrong Nike commercial, ironically this one from 2001 is an anti-doping spot where Lance replies to the question "what am I on?....I'm on my bike six hours a day."

Try to contain yourself as you read this one..."According to the most recent statistics on cancer survival rates, Lance Armstrong is neither alive, nor has he won the Tour de France". This gem was done by the ad agency Goodby Silverstein & Partners for Nike back in January 2000 for Nike.

Check out Lance as he makes the world spin while riding his bike in this Radio Shack commercial entitled "Universe". Loving the tagline — "The Shack and Lance Power The Universe."

GO Film's Christopher Guest unleashes the actor within Lance Armstrong for a Nike Livestrong Collection ad entitled "Feed The Warrior".

From back in 2004, the "Magnet" ad created by ad agency Wieden+Kennedy.

Even the USPS loved Lance Armstrong...Vive Le Lance.

In this print ad for Subaru Lance has to "Muscle His Way To The Front Of The Pack."

What drives Lance? Well according to this ad it's not fame or fortune or even the yellow jersey. Mr. Armstrong goes on to say that he is driven by what's inside...I like this one...a lot.

And, finally Lance Armstrong for Michelob Ultra Beer...take an Ultra Holiday.

Dr. Phil is the voice of reason in the one of three new ads for Acura and "Season of Reason" campaign. Watch for Suze Orman and Santa Claus himself to star in the other 2 spots from the campaign.

The spots, shot by Park Pictures Director Alison MacLean, put a bulls-eye on the self-indulgent impulse buys that are a hallmark of holiday culture. Dr. Phil, starring in his first-ever commercial, Suze Orman or Santa screech up in an Acura just in time to stop wild-eyed shoppers from unloading their wallets to take home a new dress, a giant Christmas tree or an animatronic Santa. The intervention continues as the ambassadors usher their students into the car and, during a high-speed ride, talk them out of their unreasonable purchases and remind them to instead opt for the smarter decision. The voice-over spokesman, actor James Spader, then says, “This holiday, listen to the voice of reason. Acura’s Season of Reason sales event.”

Today sees the launch of a new ad campaign for garden wood care brand Cuprinol. The repositioning kicks off with a charming and surreal campaign by 18 Feet & Rising, which champions their Garden Shades range, urging people to cheer up their gardens.

The first push is 'Whimpering Garden', a 30” TV ad in which an unloved garden shed is cheered up with a lick of Cuprinol.

In the ad, a couple is woken up by what sounds like a crying baby, but actually turns out to be their distraught shed. After the husband tries, and fails, to pacify the weeping shed with a giant bottle of milk, the wife produces a tin of Cuprinol which works a treat. The spot’s strapline is: “For protecting and brightening your garden. Cuprinol. Cheer it up.”

The ad, directed by Thai star Suthon Petchsuwan, highlights the emotional pull of the AkzoNobel-owned brand, which boasts a 94-strong colour range, as well as a rich heritage in practical wood protection. The spot will be on air in the lead up to the Easter and May bank holiday weekends, and will be available online.

18 Feet & Rising developed the idea behind the 'Cheer It Up' positioning, as well as the TVC and its digital amplification.

The brand re-launch also includes a new logo and new packaging across all its products, designed by Brand design consultancy Springetts, and the launch of a new website on 27 March developed by AnalogFolk.

Along with its new brand identity, Cuprinol is launching new products this year, including ‘Less Mess Fence Care’ and next generation garden shades, with four-year weather protection. In addition to the 34 existing shades, the brand is also launching 60 new colours for the Garden Shades range.

Kathryn Ledson, Senior Marketing Manager AkzoNobel, said: “Cuprinol has always been passionate about protecting garden wood and enhancing outdoor spaces. We want our new campaign to show people how simple it can be to add personality and colour to outside spaces and inspire people to ‘Cheer It Up’! With the new range of Garden Shades, it’s the perfect time to brighten up Britain’s gardens!”

Rob Ward, Head of Strategy at 18 Feet & Rising, said: “Cheer it up' repositions the category from a boring, brown chore to a colourful, emotional reward that encourages the nation to bring out the best in their gardens.”

The New Jersey American Atheists proudly boasted about the launch of their controversial Winter Billboard Campaign in recently erected in New York's Times Square.

Atheists Share the True Meaning of the Holidays with Times Square Billboard

Cranford, NJ—American Atheists’ latest billboard, located in the heart of New York City, is set to launch on December 11, 2012. Strategically positioned in Times Square (across from the M&M store), the billboard will display images of Santa and Jesus with the message, “Keep the merry! Dump the myth!”

David Silverman, President of American Atheists stated, “We know that a large population of ‘Christians’ are actually atheists who feel trapped in their family's religion. If you know god is a myth, you do not have to lie and call yourself 'Christian' in order to have a festive holiday season. You can be merry without the myth, and indeed, you should.”

Mr. Silverman continued, “We encourage people to be honest with themselves and their families this year. If you don't believe in god, tell your family—honesty is the greatest gift, and they deserve it.”

Teresa MacBain, Communications Director and a former pastor stated, “The true beauty of the season—family, friends, and love—have nothing to do with the gods of yesteryear. Indeed, the season is far more enjoyable without the religious baggage of guilt and judgmentalism. Dump the myth and have a happy holiday season.”

The billboard will remain in Times Square from December 11 through January 10, 2013.

The ad is the latest in holiday-themed billboards put up by the group every year. In 2011, American Atheists posted a variety of ads as part of a “Myth” campaign in three states with images of Santa, Jesus, Greek god Poseidon, and the Devil with the phrase, “37 million Americans know MYTHS when they see one.”

The Catholic League has battled it out with Silverman's group in the past, even posting opposing signs on each end of the Lincoln Tunnel in 2010. But Catholic League spokesman Bill Donohue said Silverman went too far this year.

"This year it's different," he said. "This is vile. When you depict Jesus on the cross with a crown of thorns, this is exploitative. We as Christians never harass, intimidate or insult atheists. But they can't seem to say, 'We simply disagree with you.' They have to insult us."

More Big Finds fashion goodness from Winners via John St. and Holiday Films’ director Margo Weathers. Savvy shoppers like nothing more than discovering a truly big find (big find = must have item + incredible discounted price) and the playfully oversized items are the perfect visual device to drive the point home.

How has this campaign evolved from the previous Big Finds? “Last time we used a giant puppy analogy when working on the actor’s reactions” says Weathers. “This time the camera moved all over the place, including hitching a ride on one of the giant flying accessories — I guess you could say that we also gave that personality to the camera this time”. In the usually conservative retail fashion market, this campaign is a delightful standout.

Take a break from holiday leftovers this season, and head into Outback Steakhouse for a delicious topped steak instead.

"The outtakes reel — some say there is no higher form of cinema. Just like some say there is no lower form of food than the holiday leftover. As a charter member of the past-their-prime portion club myself, I disagree.

This years Harvey Nichols 2012 Christmas ad is an all out war between two ladies caught in the same dress. It's that all too familiar scenario. You've spent weeks, months even, searching for that seemingly perfect party outfit and arrive feeling fabulously festive — only for someone else to show up wearing the exact same dress.

This year, the Harvey Nichols Holiday video explores the dilemma of a #samedress situation, heightening the drama by extending the initial death stare, so that this fashion face-off is played out with laser beams and explosive energy bolts!

Sony and the creative ad agency gave three Australians experiences they'd never had in this touching new commercial campaign entitled "Never Experienced."

The spots share the stories of Robert, Josh, and young Grace who have yet to experience three things, from as simple as seeing an ice-cream truck, the ocean and in Josh's case playing soccer in front of 18,000 people. These brilliantly executed spots are a nice reminder to some of us who take what we have and do for granted.

Havas captured their stories in 4K detail using the Sony PMW-F55 camera.

Watch all three stories below individually.

Robert's experience, he has not taken a holiday for 30 years or ever been to the ocean

Josh's experience, a footballer who has never played in front of 18,000 fans.

Grace's experience, she has never seen an ice-cream truck.
