Tesco celebrates 100 years of trading with this festive advert video titled Delivering Christmas.
In the ad we follow a Tesco driver on his last shift before Christmas who embarks on an unexpected detour through time. In just one night he experiences 100 years of deliveries with a van loaded full of ‘food from the future’.
The van appears to travel through time much like the Delorean in Back To The Future leaving electricity and fire tracks in it’s wake. He even makes a delivery for Winston Churchill at number 10 Downing Street and appears in the 80’s classic game show Bulls-eye. The commercial concludes with a voice-over saying “Delivering Christmas for a 100 years.”
The music in the advert
Music: Sleigh Ride | Artist : The Ronettes
The music in the Tesco Christmas 2019 advert is the popular cover version of Sleigh Ride by the 60’s American girl group The Ronettes. Sleigh Ride is a popular light orchestra standard composed by Leroy Anderson between 1946 and 1948. Originally an instrumental; the lyrics, in which someone asks another to join them for a ride in a sleigh, were written by Mitchell Parish in 1950.
