So again- massivley woke and alongside that trashing Christmas and traditions and you don’t even say the word Christmas .
On top of that you promote bad behaviour – throwing game boards- trashing things into a fish tank- hitting and destroying toys- making rubbish and burning…

Your “Thismas” looks complete cobblers to me. Rather than just celebrating novel and personal ways of enjoying Christmas, your ad appears to denigrate traditions that others (including millions of your customers) enjoy. Yet another own goal from a UK household name. *sighs*

The most disgusting insulting Christmas add I’ve ever seen. I know what I WONT do M&S – I won’t be spending my money with you that’s for sure. Burning CHRISTMAS cards would you insult any other religion like this https://t.co/qxycBrk7xV

“This is not just any Christmas , this is an M&S woke minority pandering Christmas” @Iromg @Nigel_Farage ….. it appears Christian’s or traditionalists not welcome . Only those who don’t really celebrate our festive season .. what a dreadful look for what was a British…

.@marksandspencer have failed miserably. Burning Christmas cards, hitting elves with baseball bats, abandoning the family and family traditions and not wanting to use the word “Christmas” replacing it with “Thismas” to appease the woke. Go Woke Go Broke. #MandSKillingChristmas https://t.co/0b3c1tS9bJ

A spectacularly racist advert from M&S who appear to have forgotten their core customers are white people.
Bye bye Marks. I’ll not be coming back.

Diluting Christmas down to pacify people who don’t celebrate it. Yet you’ll gladly accept everyone’s cash buying your tat that you flog each year.
Shambles.— Ferrari boy (@N31lcl) November 1, 2023
Over to M&S, which had a catch-all response for those so incredibly unhappy at their ad.
This year’s ad is about recognising that we all have different Christmases and reminding people that it doesn’t matter how you celebrate, just do what makes you happy

We’re with @jennyeclair.
I think everyone looks so beautiful in this – it’s really well made and the whacking the elf off the roof is brilliant- not everything has to be cute at Xmas and kids need to know the elf on a shelf is a massive twat https://t.co/kx7rWExwnA

And @simonharris_mbd.
People are actually angry about this Christmas advert from M&S and they’re forgetting the golden rule of the Internet. If you get Hannah Waddingham in anything, you win the Internet. End of story. pic.twitter.com/9g9rV3FnlM
