The 2024 Argos Christmas advert stars two beloved characters, Connie the doll and Trevor the toy T-Rex, who dreams of rock stardom. In this festive campaign, Trevor the T-Rex plays guitar atop a mountain of amps while an enthusiastic crowd of Connies cheers him on, bringing a fun, holiday twist to the classic rock anthem 20th Century Boy by T. Rex.

The track, originally recorded by T. Rex and led by frontman Marc Bolan, became iconic in the 1970s glam rock scene. Its bold lyrics and catchy riffs made it an ideal backdrop for this toy-based tale of ambition, with its theme perfectly aligning with Trevor’s dreams of being a “20th-century toy.”
