Retroist Podcast Episode 356 (Christmas Commercials III)

About this episode

This episode focuses on beloved Christmas commercials, organized into themes, celebrating holiday advertising nostalgia.

Welcome to the Retroist Christmas Commercials III Podcast. Christmas is almost here. You know what that means? Time to buy stuff! That’s why this week’s show is all about the Christmas commercials that we love. I have done this format twice before and people liked it. So be warned, this show has a bit of a different format from the regular podcast. It is dedicated solely to holiday commercials. I hope you enjoy it. I tried to break it down in little themes and also tried to not repeat what I have shared in past specials. I can also be limited by existing audio. A few commercials I found just had unsalvageable audio. Here are how I organized the show. Atari Music Other Newspapers and Magazines Foods Cameras Beverages Colognes Stores Fast Food Toys
