A number of airlines, airports and hotels created Christmas videos in 2016. Here are my top nine:
Number 9 – Finnair – slightly confused
Number 8 – Air New Zealand – not bad, but we all get that it’s summer there
Number 7 – The Silver Tassie Hotel & Spa, Donegal, Ireland – just a small hotel, so well done for a nice video
Number 6 – KLM Airlines – clever idea that just about works
Number 5 – WestJet Airlines – almost trying too much for a tear-jerker ad
Number 4 – Air Berlin – very Christmassy
Number 3 – Barceló Hotels – just the right balance
Number 2 – EVA Air – clever idea from an airline I’ve never flown with
Number 1 – London Heathrow Airport – a great ad but sadly doesn’t reflect the actual shambolic experience of arriving at London Heathrow
And here are the worst:
Number 1 – Hawaiian Airlines Christmas Luau
Number 2 – RIU Hotels
