At this time of year, so many brands tell emotional stories for emotion’s sake, simply because that’s Christmas advertising custom. But the BBC’s festive ad taps into a truer feeling – of wanting to press pause with the people you love when the rest of life gets in the way.
The film continues a familiar theme with a fresh take, transporting viewers to a frozen world at an English seaside town. The magical device doesn’t get in the way of a story beautifully told, though. Heartfelt without being heavy-handed, "Wonderland" is another example of why I always look forward to what BBC Creative will make next.
