This Old Advert From 1987 Is My Idea of Christmas. Go Ahead, Call Me Old-Fashioned

A team of six Clydesdale horses pulls a sleigh through snowy mountains, with Santa and his helpers in the background.

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.
