Christmas commercials aren’t just ads—they’re traditions. They spark holiday cheer, stir up memories, and make us feel the magic of the season. Few have done this better than Budweiser’s iconic 1987 Clydesdale commercial.
Why Christmas Ads Matter
For many, the holidays truly begin with that first festive commercial. These ads don’t just sell—they connect. They embody memories, traditions, and the joy of togetherness. In the U.K., John Lewis commercials have become cultural moments, and in the U.S., Budweiser’s Clydesdales carry a similar legacy.
The Clydesdales: Holiday Icons
Budweiser’s majestic Clydesdales symbolize strength, grace, and tradition. Every holiday season, these horses transform into ambassadors of cheer, pulling their red stagecoach through snowy wonderlands that feel like scenes from a Christmas card.
