Thanksgiving: Commercialized!

Thanksgiving is a major national holiday. Airports and roadways are packed with travelers making their way to visit family and friends. It�s a boom time for grocers, restaurants, florists and even retailers, with the recent surge of Black Thursday openings. But when it comes to holiday-themed ads, Thanksgiving is largely neglected, sandwiched in between Halloween and Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa/et al. Out of curiosity, we decided to see what�s out there. The pickings are slim, but the quality is good. See if you agree.


Shake it, pilgrim.

We lead off with an unexpected advertisement from an expected advertiser. This mini-drama from Publix supermarket is a fun watch.



Stuffing standards.

Keeping with the pilgrim theme, this gentleman has some strong opinions when it comes to Stove Top stuffing.



Clap your hands say yeah.

Hypermarket Meijer gives us a spot with a twist, combining two Thanksgiving staples: food and � we won�t spoil it for you.


You talking to me, turkey?

Macy�s employed the services of two big name stars in this funny commercial to plug their annual parade.


Deadliest holiday greetings.

We even found a Thanksgiving promo with a uniquely Alaska angle.



A little less togetherness.

Oscar Meyer hits a home run with this humorous gem.



Gratitude Multiplied

In closing, we leave you with a commercial that was timely, relevant and extremely well executed � a big thank you, from a big marketer.
