Waitrose & Partners is offering shoppers a playful reminder of the role food plays in the rituals and traditions of Christmas in its 2018 ‘Too good to wait’ Christmas campaign, created by adam&eveDDB with media planning by Manning Gottlieb OMD. Central to the 'Too Good To Wait' campaign is the idea that Christmas is about enjoying great quality food with the people who matter most. But when it’s Waitrose food, you’ll do whatever it takes to get to it as quickly as possible. In an ITV first, to tie in with the idea of ‘Too Good To Wait’, viewers will see other television ads fast forwarded until we get to the Waitrose ad as it airs for the first time during the break of the second episode of Coronation Street on ITV1 on Friday 9th November. The ITV partnership was conceived and brokered by Manning Gottlieb OMD for Waitrose & Partners. adam&eveDDB’s playful approach then extends across the entire campaign, which breaks with tradition by comprising not one standalone Christmas 30-second ad but six – each highlighting the important role food plays at Christmas by showing families and friends rushing through a familiar festive scenario to enjoy their festive fare. In the run-up to the first TV advert airing, ITV will run a number of teasers for the campaign, during which, the continuity announcer will become distracted by some of the retailer’s delicious food before remembering to announce the next programme. In the first ad, ‘Carol Concert’, a Christmas choir pianist rushes through a rendition of ‘Jingle Bells’ after the organiser makes the mistake of announcing there are chocolate and cherry mince pies to eat after the concert. Also breaking on Friday 9 November is ‘Mistletoe’ in which a couple at a Christmas gathering pause under the mistletoe to have a romantic first kiss. On hearing the call from the dining room that the turkey is ready, however, the woman rushes off to eat a succulent Cranberry Burst Turkey Parcel instead.
