Very sweet, funny, and beautiful Christmas commercial from Publix (something to smile about on a Saturday)
YouTube ^ | 2025 | Publix

This really might be the best Christmas themed TV commercial I've seen in a VERY long time. Publix is a good company (they're very supportive of the right to carry) and have long had great commercials. I found this one last night and have watched it almost a dozen times so far. Very cute!

two thoughts

1) that WAS a cute and entertaining commercial. Thanks for posting

2) Among the kids in our family, I am afraid I have become “Uncle Rick.”

Publix is a good company (they're very supportive of the right to carry)

But if you don't want to carry they'll let you use a shopping cart, without judging you.

As for the ad, Publix understands its target market, and accepts it, without trying to shove progressivism down its throat.

LOL!! I really should have seen that :-D

That noted, I bet Publix stores are the safest around. There isn't one near me but I would certainly be comfortable shopping there.

Thanks for sharing that one. It makes me wish I had known my grandfathers, they both died before I was born.

They always do it up right. It IS a pleasure to shop there but they are generally the most expensive.

Lay’s has a nice commercial too, with the little girl growing her potato.

Note to advertisers, commercials like these make me feel FAVORABLE TOWARDS YOUR BRAND.

Our local Publix has a bag boy who is clearly has limitations ... but he can function as a bag boy, propane can exchanger, cart retriever, etc.

I think it's great that companies hire people like him. :)

“with the little girl growing her potato.”

Know if my favorites. Usually they show the shortened version, but I’ve seen the full ad a couple of times and really likes it.

The real meaning of Christmas obliterated with spoiled, first-world problems.
