McDonald's is set to tug on the heartstrings of Christmas fans all over the country by unveiling its annual TV advert that focuses on an important message for families during the festive season.
Titled 'The List', the 90-second clip is set to an emotional cover of 'Only You' by Becky Hill, marking the second time that the fast-food chain has collaborated with the Brit chart-topper who also created a cover for its 2020 advert.
Directed by Tom Hooper, the Oscar-winning director of The King's Speech, the advert follows a young boy who innocently gets swept up in the magic of Christmas when creating his wish-list for Santa. As his list grows ever longer, his mum is mentally panicking as she tries to get through all the preparations for the big day.
As he gets further swept up in the magic of creating his Christmas list, viewers will be as emotional as he is when his pages-long Christmas wish-list is then swept away for good in the wind. The final scene then culminates in mum and son heading to McDonald's for an unexpected visit that reminds them both - and viewers - that the season is meant for enjoying the little moments with family.
Becky Hill's stripped-back song, made famous by Yazoo in the 80s, will be available for streaming and downloads. The singer has also chosen to donate 10p from every download to McDonald’s partner charity, Children in Need, reports WalesOnline.
The emotive new advert is set to debut on TV's during ITV’s I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here on Sunday, November 13 and it will kickstart McDonald's #ReindeerReady campaign, which has The Alternative Christmas List at its core. Available through the McDonald’s UK app from November 14, ‘The Alternative Christmas List’ will provide six unique opportunities
