Kooky Christmas Adverts
Most people would agree that Christmas is one of the most advertised and consistently branded elements of our lives. From the images of falling snow (despite Australian temperatures in the mid 30s) to plump men in red to their Elvish helpers we have been bombarded with a stereotypical notion of what the festive season brings.
This is not a surprise considering since as early as the 1900’s ‘Christmas’ branding has been selling everything from soft drinks, household goods, cleaning products, confectionary, cigarettes and even weaponry!
We’ve had a look back at some vintage advertisements that leapt aboard the ever-present Christmas advertising bandwagon that would seem a little out of place in this day and age.
An ultra creepy Santa Claus lurches with a gun over a young boy while he sleeps. Stevens Rifle Christmas ad, 1906.
Well that explains why Santa always uses the chimney, he needs somewhere to light his cigarette. Lucky Strike Christmas ad, 1937.
