    The Best Work You May Never See: James Corden Sings Xmas Tune Along With The UK Public For McDonald’s

    By SHOOTUpdated:No Comments6889 Views

    James Corden, host of The Late Late Show, has teamed up with McDonald’s UK to put his very own Karaoke skills to use, joining people from all over the U.K. in singing the Wizzard classic “I wish it could be Christmas everyday” during their Christmas journeys. The unique one off advert aired during the break of Coronation Street, one of the U.K.’s most popular programs, on Christmas Day.

    The one off commercial is the final part of the "The Journey to Christmas" campaign, which was created in partnership with Leo Burnett London, OMD UK and Razorfish and directed by James Rouse of Outsider.

    The initial “Journey to Christmas” TV spot launched in November, featured a young family making a long car journey just before Christmas Day, joyfully singing together “I wish it could be Christmas everyday.” The call to action encouraged the people of Britain to dust off their vocal chords, embrace the festive spirit and film themselves singing along to Wizzard’s 1973 classic on their Christmas journeys.

    “The Journey to Christmas” campaign has been a huge success to date, with hundreds of entries submitted from the British public, all displaying the “Good Times” that can be created on any Christmas journey. The campaign was supported by an extensive social media campaign and a brand new festive hub on www.mcdonalds.co.uk designed to show off as many entries as possible in the build up to Christmas.

    “We set out to do something different with our festive campaign this year and we needed the British public to turn it into something special” said Steve Hill, head of marketing at McDonald’s UK. “It gives me great delight to confirm that they’ve done just that.”

    TDA Boulder, Director Michael Downing Tackle Banking Clichés In “No Nonsense” Campaign For First Interstate

    Thursday, August 27, 2026

    Indie ad agency TDA Boulder has unveiled “No Nonsense Banking,” its debut campaign for new client First Interstate Bank. The rolling launch runs through the end of the year, and spans across 10 states.

    The batch of spots includes this one titled “Every Step,” epitomizing a call to end the nonsense. “Every Step” opens on a couple experiencing life’s biggest moments (marriage proposal, first child, a kid learning to drive, and packing up for college). Each meaningful moment, though, has one odd addition: their banker is actually really there, experiencing those moments with them. The unexpected inclusion calls out the cliché that banks love to be with you every step of the way, even in life’s most intimate moments. The spot lands on the twist: First Interstate isn’t promising to be there for every step; just the ones that matter, with a straight answer and a real person on the other end.

    Michael Downing directed via The Sweetshop x Chirp Films.
