- Throughout their 70 years, Heathrow have specialised in reconnecting people with their loved ones, especially at this time of year, because coming home for Christmas is the best gift of all. Among the millions of seasonal passengers, there are some extra-special arrivals that have made it home in time for the big day...

That feeling when an airport makes better commercials than everybody else
Kwiat 126p
Yep.
Yea
Kwiat 126p Yes
And this is how a Christmas commercial should be done.
for those who dont understand why the grandparents were bears
Teddy bears are usually old toys
old and forgotten with all the new technology surrounding them and high tech stuffs like iPad and iPhones
Teddy bears have limited movement hence, they were given a ride on the airport buggy.
Also a nice touch that grandpa bear need glasses to read the signs to claim the baggage.
Also the flight and airport staff helping the pair from disembarkation of the plane, passport checks and baggage claims all the way to the arrival hall.
This ad shows how the airport reunite families who have been away for a while in time for Xmas.
Families with grandparents still around.
treasure your moments
Beautiful...
I thought it was a play on words "coming home is the best gift of all" - usually you'd expect to give a toy to a kid. So making them toys makes them the gift. But I like your explanation as well
This helped me so much with my homework on advert analysis-
Who knew stuffed animals could make you cry.
They fight your battles when you are an infant, and dry your tears all of your life.
Who left these onions here?
XD
Damn onion ninjas!!!!!
ERTV Medias :)
I know right! These onion cutting ninjas...
Squidward!! >:=(o )
I'm literally crying my eyes out. After ten years, I'm finally spending Christmas time with my grandparents and this video hit me right in the feels :')
This was 7yrs ago in 2016 wow…😊
Yep..
I worked at Heathrow and witnessed many happy reunions at all times in the year. This just about sums it up,
So human, so universal, and yet so quintessentially British!
No mater how many times I watch it, I cry
It's Christmas 2021 and I still watch this every year and it still makes me blub
I love this... Everyone should have a Teddy Bear, no matter how old you are. Always name them to give them character, send or give a teddy to someone that just might need something to make them smile and to hug, no matter how old they are.
Anddddd I'm crying. Dang Heathrow Airport, you got me right in my feelings. So adorable, so heartwarming. UGHHH. I never even went to Heathrow before and now I kind of wish to one day, visit their country. All the love Heathrow.
I also cry and I can not believe it but I'm happy
The simplicity is what makes this advert so wonderful. It's just so beautiful and touching. Merry Christmas everyone! 😊
The others have helicopters, snowmobiles, big song-and-dance numbers, half a forest of animals dancing a ballet on a trampoline... and you tell a simple love story with no dialogue, set entirely inside an airport, and it's glorious. Subtle, sweet, earnest, and quintessentially British - the most warm-hearted and honest commercial I've seen in years. Thank you, and happy Christmas. :)
I left England in the summer to live in Malta. After watching the wonderful ad, I cried, and for the first time, I'm missing home ... England ❤️
The extraordinarily mild weather we get up here misses you too ^_^ (not sarcastic)
FaZe Huebert hmmmm, there's always one ... NOT Sarcastic!
FaZe Huebert
Gordon Calderbank That would be me.
Gordon Calderbank did NOT say,"That was me". OK?
Who's cutting onions? ;( This is adorable...cherish your grandparents while you can, I don't have them anymore!
Such a heartwarming ad! Every Christmas I used to go back to be with my grandparents. But for the last two years, I wasn’t able to. Miss those warm Christmas hugs!
This year especially, it is very touching that families can reunite. In the mess of the past two years....it shows there is still hope. Just understated British talent.
Have watched it ten times today, and it is only 10am! So sweet and touching. Love it!!
You don't even need to advertise this... it happens in real life all the time during Christmas. That is what makes it great.
That's why they are advertising it. The advertisement is for the airport, not the homecoming of Christmas, but by portraying that homecoming in association with the airport, they're basically selling that wonderful feeling of coming home for the holidays, and causing you to associate that feeling with Heathrow. It's a pretty effective advertising technique.
This makes me cry because i will never get to see my grandpa together with my grandma😭 he is waiting for me in heaven😔❤️
Lovely advert. Made me tear up! Much respect to the staff at Heathrow. Merry Christmas.
Best Christmas advert 2016... Magic!
Definitely!
After 2 years of lockdown -- yes I'm crying!!!
did anyone else just say awwww the whole time and get teary eyed? no? just me ok lol
STILL the best Heathrow Christmas ad.
I love this advert, I could watch it again and again and again, just because I love teddy bears. Precious.
This is the best Bear advert with the Chas and Dave song!
Even flipping airports make a amazing and magical add for Christmas
Different now in 2021 unfortunately.
A feeling of nostalgia and 2000 miles away, merry Christmas.
Made back when people still hugged without masks, traveled without fear.
This commercial is ever just so emotional for me and my parents!!!!! We have always dreamed of the day me, my husband and my kids will be able to see them again after being so far away from each other and not being able to see them as often!! It always makes me cry!!!😭😭😭😭😭😭😊❤
cuteness overload
WOW, if you're an expat.. this surely can bring a tear to your eye. You might have left as a pre-adolescent like I did and spent your life visiting; or for so many other situations. You never forget you're British. Beautiful advert Heathrow. I truly wish my health was such that I could visit this Christmastime.
I always loved the ad... but as this christmas will be the first we will be spending without our beloved late grandparents, this hits different.
That is one of the cutest commercials I've ever seen!
This makes me tear up everytime I watch it!
Maybe all the more because I was raised by my grandparents.
One of my favourite commercials!
Lovely advert. No matter what they say I think Heathrow still is the world's International Airport!
Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around.
"Love Actualy" movie quote at the beggining of the film. I tottaly agree
Nadine Tofallis d
aye wat about new friends?
The Washington Metro, Metro Washington Airports and Amtrak take notice of this GREAT Commercial !!
This advert makes you feel like you are returning to your roots and going from there. Coming back to your past that is full of colour, life and brightness and taking it with you to the present and go on from there.
I love how the music has a little similarities of how the beatles sound , the voice blending and instruments tones.. truly sound british!!
Um, its Chas and Dave. Nothing to do with the Beatles at all!!!!
I left as an 8 year old child from Heathrow to the USA fifty years ago. On all return visits.. I've always chosen Heathrow; it has the ghosts of dear family jumping, embracing and emotional smiles on arrivals.. and hugs, tears and waves goodbye. I haven't been for so long now; having stage 4 cancer pulls me to make one last trip. This advertisement has to mean so very much to those of us that left for another life who still have that dual love of the country we are from. This is my favourite advertisement during my time. Wonderfully done.
When this was on TV, my sister thought I was watching Paddington lol 😂
this is for the owner of heathrow : I enjoy so much and to be honest this airport is the beat in england and it will be nice to have Ryanair in heathrow you will have lots of people coming to Heathrow and this is coming from a 10 year old 😊😊✈
Ariana star RyanAir won't fly to Heathrow unless they want to raise their prices 😉
Love this ad. I wish they show it on TV. Remind me of the closeness between my mom and dad. Cry every time i see it. Miss them daily.
sending to my son...........we really want him home for Christmas
I got tears in my eyes...
The best Christmas advert of this year.
I despise Christmas commercials, they're just so 'commercial.' But this ad is right up there with some of the old Coke commercials. Great work by your marketing team, cause coming home for Christmas really is the #BestGiftOfAll.
Damn it I cried 😂😂😭😭😭
Made me cry from happiness
Me too!
Same
Random Landings, also, try the Sainsbury's advert! It's equally sad!
Teddy bears
Helen Abba stfu
LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!! That's so me. I can't wait to come home to blighty. miss it so much. The people, The food, The sounds!! Even the smells!
lol cringe
Young Geezer It's Chas n Dave singing. The best rockney singers in the world.
Young Geezer It's a type of music that Chas n Dave played. it's a mixture of rock and pub music. it's also a record label they were on. They are well know for playing old time pub songs from around the east end of london. That's where us Cockneys come from.
This is so relevant for me. On 23rd December, my girlfriend will visit from Hong Kong to spend Christmas with me and my family. I'll be waiting for her at the arrivals gate at Heathrow..can't wait.
The only airport commercial to ever make me tear up
Still enjoying this, maybe time to rekindle this advert. Happy Christmas🙂
Chas & Dave in a brilliant Christmas advert featuring bears and not a single rabbit in sight let alone two and of course it's starring my little sister (I usually can't bear her as she has so much bunny) .... but catch her at the end running into her Grand Parents arms as she is soooooooo cute I'm actually going to watch it again till Christmas day and if you don't love it then there' 'Aint no pleasing you!" rabbit rabbit :-) Gercha, enough said WATCH IT
i can't believe im crying watching an ad.
It’s just so heartwarming to watch.
Watching this video makes me cry! I hope many Teddy Bears this year be with their own families! The most important, the families! What a beauty video!
Heathrow knocked this out of the park.
shout out to nic, dom and john. this is a banger.
I'm not crying yOURE CRYING NY EYES ARE JUST SWEATING
This year especially i miss visiting my family in the UK...this ad brings back so many memories...of the anticipation of meeting them at the airport😪 awwww
May God help us all visit our families back home.
That was pretty cute. I got a little choked up.
One of the best Christmas promo's I've ever seen. I's so warm and touchy)
This is so true. I mean, we as children saw our grandparents as the cutest beings on earth and just want to hug them.
I know I did. I miss them.
The irony of wanting to see the advert and having to skip the advert before it starts!
This is basically Paddington's birth parents.
looooooooooool
Aaaaaand the advertise is ruined for me.
+PhillyPartTwo...The only known relatives of "Paddington Bear" are his "Aunt Lucy" and his "Uncle Pastuzo", who live in "Darkest Peru". No one knows, for sure who Paddindton's parents are/were!
YouCanJustCallMeKitK Are you familiar with humor? you should look into it.
I love this....Heathrow you have made thee best Christmas Commerical....and made for us humans to feel the Christmas Spirit. Thank you....makes me want to fly back to England again.
Oh wow.....what a wonderful Christmas advert! I get to LHR every day with my Drive Arrive Executive Transfers business and i simply love to watch loved ones arrive and meet family and friends, I even arrive in the terminals early just to see this, it's so heartwarming! What a 'fantastic' advert, well done Heathrow.....the best airport by miles. :-)
Every single time I watch this I cry 😪, it's way too adorable.
The Best Xmas ad ever! Lots of onions here... and not tired to watch it again!
So heart warming. Missing my parents terribly.
Absolutely adorable. I have to admit: I cry every time I see it.
I Just cried when i saw this video... I miss my brother Who lives in prague...
Good to see I made the cut in another wonderful Heathrow Promo video. Happy 70th Heathrow :) :)
Too adorable!!! Love Actually was my brother Billy's favorite ❤💙💕 film and the opening scene was of course filmed right there!
Lots of love and Blessings from America 🇺🇸 💘 :)
This commercial is so touching I’ve went to UK 1 year ago and I miss the UK and also Heathrow. BTW Hello from Australia 🇦🇺
I used to spend Christmases with my parents in London! They were lots of fun! This commercial brings back happy memories of these trips!
It's so cute but I'm unfortunately crying
Paddington Bear meets Love Actually. Fantastic!
Just wonderful. So lovely and touching. Perfect.
I have so many memories watching this advert on tv
The best part of the holiday family and friends come to together and celebrate the holiday and remember the memories
I LOVE this. It's only a minute long and hits all the right notes of emotion. Something very sentimental about it. Beautifully done! x
Adorable!!!!!!
Aww this advert makes me watery eyed. My Grandparents live abroad and my Grandma wishes she could spend Christmas with us, made me think of her 😢💕
aww his name is Bair Edward :3 this is adorable. It is sad because my grandpa passed early this year. I never got to see him for the last :(
Going to be my first Christmas without my younger Brother :( I get great comfort from thinking that those we've lost are always with us in our hearts and memories. My thoughts are with you and your family x
:( stay strong!
shyannedianne1962 aww sorry for your loss. it is hard when we someone so close to us passed away. I happened to study abroad when my grandpa passed away. All I can do was crying alone in my room the moment I heard the news. Well I hope you have a great Christmas with your family and friends :)
Maria Zaharieva Thank you ♡♡♡♡
I'm glad I'm not the only curious to see the bear's name
Haven't been with my family for 2 years due to Covid. It's hard and even harder to know it'll never go away.
the end seriously gets me man like as in balling my eyes out. it reminds me of the times when i was little when i would go to baltimore and see my grandparents for christmas before they passed away.....really makes me think about how much i miss them....
Excellent! We cannot wait to visit London during Christmas!
Best Christmas advert this year! Brilliant!
'bout time we had a Chas 'n Dave song in an advert! and what an advert! genius whoever put this together! John Lewis we have a new champion! 👍☝☝☝☝🎄
Oh! How I love this ad. It makes me cry every time I watch it. My favorite of all time✨
Wonderful and heartwarming advert, makes me smile and brings a tear to my eye.
Love it. Made my eyes leak.
Simple but lovely. Looks just like my Mum and Dad! He always wore a flat hat too!!
Awww, so beautiful
