After being forced to remove an outtake from its original advert, Marks & Spencer has unveiled a new offering with Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney making a cameo in the commercial
Marks & Spencer has been humiliated into pulling its advert for Christmas 2023 following a huge backlash.
But Marks & Spencer's big Hollywood advert has premiered amid the retailer being forced to issue an apology after its original star-studded promotion promoted outrage online. A since-deleted post shared on the company's Instagram page featured paper Christmas hats burning in a fire grate which the retailers captioned with, 'This Christmas, do only what you love...like saying no to paper hats'.
"While the intent was to playfully show that some people just don't enjoy wearing paper Christmas hats over the festive season, we have removed the post following feedback and we apologise for any unintentional hurt caused." The Christmas Fairy casts a spell to bring the glove to life and magically pulls it inside to discover the mitten is attached to a piece of red string, which is attached to another glove. Inside the warmth of the home, which is decorated with a tree, lights and other festive nick nacks, the Christmas Fairy cheerfully tells the Mittens: "Merry Christmas!"
The Mittens are then seen swinging from a bell decoration hanging on a wall while the Christmas Fairy puckers up for a kiss under some mistletoe before the Mittens go flying towards the Fairy and crash into her. The adorable advert then sees the Christmas Fairy setting a Christmas pudding alight as she says: "It gets better," while Left and Right watch on in awe, before noticing their string has been set alight.
