McDonald's has revealed its Christmas advert for 2019, featuring Archie the Reindeer, and the 90-second story will first air on TV on Sunday during ITV’s flagship show, I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here!
In the film, we follow the animated journey of Ellie, a young girl who is eager to play a game of ‘reindeers’ with her older sister Jenny.
Uninterested in her younger sister, Jenny slams the door on her, and Ellie heads to the garden where she meets Archie the Reindeer. The two begin to play and form a close bond.
When Ellie runs out of ‘Reindeer Treats’ to feed Archie, the whole family set off to McDonald’s to buy more.
At the Drive-Thru, Ellie’s Dad orders ‘Reindeer Treats’, and the scene switches from animation to real life, where we discover that Archie is in fact Ellie’s dog dressed up in a tutu and reindeer antlers.
To help families get Reindeer Ready this Christmas and to celebrate the ad campaign, McDonald’s will again be giving out ‘Reindeer Treats’ for free this Christmas Eve.
Ben Fox, Marketing Director, McDonald’s UK and Ireland said: “We’re proud of the role we play in getting the nation Reindeer Ready each Christmas and this year is no exception.
"We’re celebrating the magic of Christmas through the eyes of Ellie, an imaginative little girl, in an advert which illustrates scenes recognised by parents across the country, as the whole family comes together to get Reindeer ready. We hope the public enjoy Ellie and Archie’s adventure as much as we do.”
