2026 tracker

Welcome to The PR Insider’s Christmas campaign tracker, your guide to every Christmas campaign of 2026. The festive season is the biggest advertising moment of the year, and this is where we keep track of all of it, from the Christmas adverts everyone waits for to the PR ideas brands use to get noticed in December.​

​

You’ll find the 2026 Christmas adverts from John Lewis, M&S, Aldi, Sainsbury’s, Tesco and more, alongside the festive limited editions, PR stunts, pop-ups, Christmas windows, data studies and charity appeals that make the headlines every year. ​

​

Whether you work in PR, marketing or social media and need Christmas campaign ideas, or you just love a good festive ad, use the filters to search by campaign type, industry or brand. We add new Christmas campaigns as they launch, and you can look back at previous years too.

our favourites  christmas campaigns so far

These are the Christmas campaigns we can’t stop talking about this year. Some are the big budget Christmas adverts everyone has been waiting for, while others are smaller festive PR ideas that prove you don’t need a two minute film to get people excited about Christmas. Our picks change as new campaigns launch, so check back throughout the season to see what’s made the list.
