This Christmas, it will be 31 years since the Budweiser Clydesdales trotted into our lives with this iconic commercial.
This is the type of Christmas I recall as a child growing up. Being with family and enjoying each other’s company around a warm fire, drinking hot chocolate, and telling Christmas wishes. Those were the days,
This is surely the best Christmas nostalgia ever. It has it all. Really beautiful houses, blissful snow, a warm cottage with warm candlelit windows. That bridge. The couple out on a snow walk, maybe off to by presents or visit neighbors?
The Clydesdale’s pulling the spruce trees freshly cut from the forests. I get tremendous warmth from this advert. And it doesn’t feel like an ad because it’s pure and timeless.
This video was filmed during a time in America when there were no cell phone cameras. Digital cameras were also rare. So these horses were able to make their trek without someone posting a photo on Instagram: “OMG! Look at these horses!” That’s why it also resonates with me – it takes me back to a simpler time. Even though those ‘simpler’ times.
