Woolworths asks Australians to share the spirit of Christmas

Food giant Woolworths has encouraged Australians to share the spirit of Christmas by sharing.

Created by M&C Saatchi, the commercial highlights the reality of families and friends having to share during the Christmas period, whether that be sharing rooms, food or a recipe.


The 45 second ad shows a grandma and granddaughter sharing recipes, neighbours passing food over the fence, a little boy sharing his room with another family member, children stealing lollies from the table and sharing food with Santa Clause.

‘Share the spirit of Christmas’ campaign features some of Woolworths Christmas favourites including pavlovas, cherries, mangoes, puddings and ham.

Andrew Hicks, director of marketing at Woolworths, said in a statement: “We know what really lies at the heart of Christmas in Australia is our customers gathering with their families and friends and sharing a meal together.

“From Christmas recipes passed down over generations, firing up the barbecue with mates, through to the kids leaving out snacks for Santa and his reindeers, we understand the role food plays in creating that Christmas feeling.”

The campaign is set to run across TV, digital, radio, in-store, digital and out-of-home.
