Volume 6: An Hour of Vintage Christmas Commercials 

I love these old Christmas commercials. It's a little sad in a way because those good good days are so far gone.

These commercials are quickly becoming a Christmas tradition, alongside the classic movies. Going to bake some cookies this afternoon with my boys and have this Playlist on

I feel warm and tingly inside remembering the 80s, but get extremely depressed knowing these times will probably never be back. I remember working at the local family owned grocery store. Most are gone and replaced by corporate monsters. People didn't totally hate each other back then. We were a cohesive society for the most part. 24-7-365 hate stream media has ruined it all.

I remember taking a first date to see National Lampoon Christmas Vacation on the night it opened. A year later we married, still married

I don't know how some of these don't get more views. There is nothing that brings me back to my childhood like these videos. Thank you.

classic commercials are far better, than these commercials today. thay are stupid, and talk about different meds you need to take. some i would not trust to take. classic is better.

Truly these were better days. Thank you.....

Looking at these commercials have made me realize this World has gone straight to hell.

R.I.P to Sears🙏🏽

Love the 80s and 90s commercials. Makes me all warm and fuzzy 🥰.

Oh the memories..when life was much simpler but it was much fun... and kids actually lived there life as a kid...😔

I don't care what time of year it is, I LOVE watching these old Christmas commercials-they make me go back to when I was a kid again! :3 That and it's always great to find new favorites from back in the day, too :3

When the World was a little bit warmer and sincere. RIP to my mom, I miss you and love you so much..

It’s sad to see Sear’s has gone!

I want to call the 800 number and be like, yes I would like to order the Christmas tapes. Can I still get them for $12.99?

It’s sad to see most of these businesses have closed 😞

I go to sleep to these.

Here's the difference I notice in commercials from then and now: Back then, the commercials were based on family or others and today's commercials seem to be aimed at (or written by) hardcore narcissists. This would explain the absence of any heartfelt or sincere moments. Also, the music in today's commercials seems to be tired and stale recycled trash from every other commercial, e.g. the same tired light singer/songwriter or diversity-social-feelgood-experience sounding piano or guitar (or they use a song from a B-list band or must include a whistling chorus) to pretend the commercial is meaningful, genuine, or impactful in any way because the visuals and content just don't do it. Thoughts?

Can we rewind to this more peaceful time?😍

AWESOME!! I love these so much!! Watching these relieves my stress. ❤

I wish everyone could experience the magic of growing up in the 80s. Even the 90s weren't too bad looking back I'm sure.

When The Life was More Innocent and Beautiful!!!! BUT NOWDAYS THE INNOCENCE AND DREAMS GONE FOREVER!!!

I have that set of 4 Hallmark train ornaments. They still go on my mantel.

They are so cute with the computer!! I miss it being all new lol These are great, Thank You!!

These are the best

the santa claus movie I remember from disney channel and the Kroger with the party trays is how my christmas was as a kid we always had guest over and lots of party trays with meat crackers cheese fruits vegetables deserts and sandwiches I would play with my toys while the adults talk play card games and wacth football I would wacth the parade and just have fun playing my games and stuff

Have been looking for the Come See the Merry Side of Sears commercials for years!

Michael Landon’s Kodak commercial played right before Matt Labyorteaux’s Pillsbury commercial I find that so cool since they played father and son on “Little House On The Prairie.”

Great seeing a Volume 6! Maybe in Volume 7 you could have a full version of the 7UP Cool Spot ad with the fire truck?

I am loving that texico one saying a good gift for boys and girls! Darn right! I was playing with toy cars over girl toys!

My gosh, that puppy and slipper commercial is so adorable!

19:58 I think that's William Christopher, who played Father Mulcahy on M*A*S*H, in the 7-Up ad.

I STILL TO THIS DAY WATCH ALL THE XMAS CARTOONS WITH MY GREAT NEICES AND DECORATE THE TREE AND EAT PIZZA WHILE PLAYING XMAS SONGS .😂😂😂

Christmas Vacation starts Fri Dec 1st in select theaters. Oh WOW. And the polar bear Coke commercials when they first came out I really LOVED

10% off at Sears?? These days it would be like 70% off.

Home for Christmas album 31:15 Awesome 😎

Jingles, that is missing today. Nothing to sing, nothingness. Oh, my.

I miss K-Mart 29:22

I was born in Seattle in 1973, where I grew up. Japanese-American. I'm looking for a "Christmas Jingle," and someone might have an idea: In late 1989 (I was in 11th grade), there was a Taco Time commercial, it was mostly instrumental, with a very nice Christmas jingle playing in the background. Then, in late 1998-early 1999, a company called International Jewelers used that SAME Christmas jingle in the background! I know this is a long shot, and you probably have to be in Washington or Oregon to even know what Taco Time is. But, I'm never amazed at what can be pulled up on the internet!

Oh yes! The Mcdonalds meals with pocket change …amazing back then you could get a meal for only $2.99. Today in 2023 it’s now $11.00 and minimum wage is still only $8.75. You can thank the rotten government for that. It was all about family and America then but today the kids want to take it all away. But all in all, boy! I want to go back and do it all over ....The 70’s and 80’s were my decades and they were the best years of my life. America was absolutely a different place back then. It was still a treat then to get 25 cents from mom and walk uptown to the gas station to get a Coca-Cola or Pepsi or to the ice cream shop and get a CMP ice cream. We truly did not lock our doors and stayed out till after dark with our bikes and on Halloween we all went trick-or-treating without our parents when we got older at night in the cold and it was great fun.. In the summer we played outside all day and all night, The only way my mom got us home to eat was a big brass bell she had outside the sliding glass doors that she would ring to get our attention to come home for dinner. I remember wonderful 4th of July celebrations going on picnics and then mom took us to the ball park and we laid on blankets to watch the fireworks. And of course Christmas and even though it was tuff for my mom raising us she always made sure we had a great holiday . Even Easter was special in America back then... as we got older we started to go see the movies and we really did have the best movies. Jaws, Close Encounters, , Raiders of the lost Ark, James bond, Star Wars, Star Trek, Aliens, Predator, planet of the apes, E.T, The terminator, The goonies, Friday the 13th, Batman, Back to the future . ...To name a few.....The TV show line up on the networks were fabulous ( this was before you got 500 channels like you do today and still nothing on is good) we had Dallas, knots Landing, Falcon crest, little house, The Waltons (No not the store that destroyed America). And every night of the week a network would compete and have for example, Monday night at the movies! Tuesday night at the movies ! and they would show a major movie release. We had real holidays were we all got together and enjoyed each other’s company. We ate dinner every night together and talked not shouted at each other. We had great stores that are all but gone now in 2023 and great movie theaters and of course the MALLS! It was not the 80’s without a Mall. My very first few jobs were at the mall. First Macdonald’s and then The Gap!. Yes sir those days were GREAT! and we were very lucky to have lived them .... today I don’t even see kids outside and everyone is in fear for safety from crazy people.... I don’t recognize America now..God Bless us all ! (If you can even say that anymore).

HAHA, I didn't noticed the last video ended, I was thinking WHOA loads of Christmas commercials now...

We drove 30 minutes to the next town to---Acme. Good to the last drop. Mmm. Remember--Kraft commercials? Kraft foods

@16:23, I Love That T.J.Maxx Christmas Commercial!❤️📺🎶🎄👍🏻

i remember being able to afford eating at McDonald's with the money I earned working there. Now I have a nice office job and CANT afford fast food anymore.

Thanks for sharing ,brings back great memories and hope you so more in the future soon ,

20:21 They got Father Mulcahy hawking 7-Up. I don't know if that's awesome or horrifying.

Brings back great memories. Good morning Melanie George Matt and Jared. God bless and have a good night ❤️❤️🌹🌹🤟

RadioShack was a head of its time in it’s day ❗️👍 Oh I’m not affiliated with RadioShack corporation 26:26

Plop Plop Fizz Fizz-- Oh What A Relief It Is. Alkaseltser.

I like Campbell soup.

39:53 Iconic.

Wow who misses layaway at walmart and kmart ,and getting up early to catch the sales standing in line to get kids the toy of the year .

Can we please go back to the 80s…our reality today sucks.

24:36 Coming up next, "A Christmas Story" on TBS. ...That's not a "vintage" ad, it just ran 2 nights ago (on Christmas Eve)! ;) ...Whatever year that was, I wonder if TBS did the 24-hour "Christmas Story" marathon back then.

Not only are the products not around, some of the stores are gone, too.

Was a remote control with a TV like a thing back then? They always make it sound like the remote and TV was sold separately...I mean, it makes sense from a selling stand point, but now its just weird

I love these videos reminds me of my childhood and the good old days keep the 90s playing

👍 Kroger’s delicatessen

46:56 when I was a kid back in 2000 me and my mom always go at Lucky grocery store before Albertson's and Family Dollar we always buy groceries for me and my family. Also what year is this commercial?

45:33: Hide the kids, this is a very scary commercial.

The early 90s commercials were so bland compared to the 80s. The whole American attitude turned so serious after Reagan. People dressed like they were at a military ceremony, humor was completely dead, and the average price of featured gifts probably doubled, not to mention the spike in charitable organizations asking people to donate. It was very depressing in my opinion, but I can understand why a young adult would feel nostalgic about the early 90s.

Acme was never a low prices store. They were the Wegmans before Wegmans was a thing...

It's a little startling to think of the '90s as "retro" or "vintage." But okay, okay, time moves on.

Old commercials have so catchy tunes and songs! They are easy to remember and sing along! :)

Thank you

Where are all the shvartzas?

Do Sears or Penny's , still have portrait studios?

21:22 What year is this Hess commercial from? I looked up Hess fire trucks and it looks like 1989. The one at 43:54 is from 1993. Also, there’s a Kay Jewelers commercial with the old logo at 24:54! The Hershey’s Pot of Gold ad at 53:03 is from 1997. It doesn’t say “new” like the original 1996 one.

I miss white people in ads

11:47 oops looks like now...

Lost me at RoRo!

44:20 A place called "Canadian Tire" sold home computers? (as opposed to, say, tires?)

2:40 Another reason why National Lampoon's "European" Vacation was the best of the Vacation movies (with Chevy Chase): according to this ad, the "Christmas" Vacation movie plot involves electrocution of a cat, and a couple of guys joking about it after-wards... Thumbs down.

Speaking of Stress I Want To Know Which User Takes Video Requests While Others Upload Just What They Have. What Do You Think?

20:00 father mulchahey

15:23 Was the 4-woman band in the Gap Jeans ad (singing "Let it Snow") anyone famous?

I actually like the newer Popeyes commercials better.

I like these video they valid

13:40 OK, I get it, the toy Texaco truck itself isn't "jet-fueled"; if it were a real truck, it would just transport jet fuel to where jets or planes are, to refuel them. (How exciting.) Too bad--I was expecting that kid, riding a jet-fueled toy, to be whipping around the living room at break-neck speed...

39:53 Unlike seemingly everyone else, I can't stand that loud, chime-y Hershey's Kisses ad.
