The Christmas adverts just keep on coming, and this time it’s the turn of Vodafone to bring a little bit of festive cheer in to our lives.

Which they have done by introducing us to Terry The Turkey, who finds himself a new home after the ad’s main family decide to rear their own Christmas bird.

He starts off seriously cute:

But gradually grows bigger, more feathery and – dare we say it – cuter:


There’s the underlying sense that Terry is ultimately bound for the festive dinner table, except by this point he’s truly become one of the family:

Of course by this point they just can’t bring themselves to serve him up for Christmas when the time comes:

And we do mean everyone:

The minute-long ad, played out to the soundtrack of Westlife’s Flying Without Wings, implores viewers to ‘get closer to the ones you love this Christmas’.



‘Terry’s tale is a classic Christmas story with a twist – featuring a heartwarming message of goodwill,’ said Vodafone consumer director Cindy Rose.

‘This advert brings to life how Vodafone can play a big part in bringing people closer to their loved ones at Christmas, whilst perfectly capturing the nation’s mood at this magical time of year.’

We don’t know about you but we think we might have just found a new contender for heart-warming Christmas ad of the year…
