Mr. Tayto has some very exciting news this festive season, he is starring in his very first Christmas advert!
This magical new TV advertisement follows Santa Claus on Christmas Eve. We all know that Santa is so busy each year, ensuring that every child around the world has a gift under their tree, however, when he returns to the North Pole, there are sadly no gifts under his own tree. In the true Christmas spirit of generosity, Mr. Tayto leaves a very special gift for Santa to enjoy over Christmas as everyone gets a gift including Santa. This touching tale invokes a delightful sense of Christmas mystery and excitement within the viewer.
Mr. Tayto’s new advert is shot in a beautiful, cinematic style and as the joyous story unfolds to a specifically composed beautiful melody, an emotional connection grows between the viewer.
As the brand approaches its 70th birthday, Mr. Tayto wanted to mark the occasion. This iconic TV advert is the perfect nod to the dear place Tayto holds in the hearts of the nation. No doubt when the ad returns every year, it will signal to viewers that Christmas has arrived.
The Tayto Christmas box, featured in the advert, has been a staple in Irish households at Christmas time. The box appearing in stores, signals Christmas has begun and with projected sales of 1.2 million Christmas boxes this year - you are likely to find a box under the tree in one in every two households across the country.
It would not be Christmas without Tayto.
