British Garden Centres launches festive TV advert

 

British Garden Centres has launched its new heartwarming festive TV advert to light up Christmas this year.

 

 

This year’s campaign, ‘Light Up Christmas,’ invites families to create magical memories and brighten their homes with festive decorations, lights, and neighbourly community spirit.

 

The advert captures the magic of Christmas through the eyes of a young girl determined to create a winter wonderland at her home. When she shares her dream, the family heads to British Garden Centres, heralded as the home of Christmas, to find everything they need, from decorations and trees to sparkling lights and festive deals.

 

As the preparations for the big day begin, the girl’s excitement inspires the whole community around her. Neighbours gather to help transform the family's house into a sparkling wonderland on her street, echoing the true spirit of the season and bringing people together to create festive memories.

 

The advert showcases the joy and togetherness that define Christmas, reminding everyone that “there’s only one place to go” for their Christmas décor and gifts.

 

Amy Stubbs, Managing Director of British Garden Centres, said: “This advert is about helping families bring their Christmas plans to life and positioning British Garden Centres as the destination offering everything needed to make this festive season extra special. From our own Fern Christmas collection featuring dazzling cluster lights, light-up snowmen, reindeer, and a full spectrum of light up decorations, it’s easy to fill your home and garden with sparkle. Whether it’s transforming a mantelpiece, lighting up your tree, or making outdoor displays glisten, your local British Garden Centre makes it simple to come together. We hope to inspire everyone to ‘Light Up Christmas’ in their own unique way.”
