Thank goodness for youtube. It's not Christmas without certain things from your childhood and for me, this is one of them. Thank you for posting this and Merry Christmas!
The little girl was played by twins called Alexandra and Holly Stapley. They are 21 or 22 now. Alexandra had a minor role in Mean Girls. The ad was filmed in 1990.
@simon44 I am the kid with the large vocabulary!! My name is Terri Lynn and I just recently found out that this was actually on YouTube :D I live in Canada and it doesn't air here so I haven't seen it in a long time! I shot this commercial 20 years ago so I'm now 28, and STILL never use the word "unorthodox!" It's really great to see that it made such an impact and so many people connect it with Christmas xox I can also confirm that ToDahRANDOMOBILE is correct; twins! MERRY CHRISTMAS!
@terrilynntravels Hey I am the mom of the twins. this ad still plays in Europe. My girls are still getting paid on it. You should be too. check with Actra.
this is so sad..she'll grow up finally tell everyone she saw santa but no one will believe her...people will start calling her crazy and she'll slowly but surely fall into depression... one day she'll get admitted into an asylum by those she loved and once called family
My favourite all time Christmas commercial. Only that cute little blond girl sees Santa munching a bowl of corn flakes while her brother and sister are asleep. This one is to Christmas commercials like How The Grinch Stole Christmas is to festive cartoons on television.
Lovely add, does anyone remember an add very similar to this (shown in Ireland) with a little girl answering the telephone and Santa is on the other end. It was for Eircom.
@SuperClint007 Yes, i can answer your question! That little blonde girl on the Eircom Christmas Ad saying Santa on the phone, was me! Its not up on youtube but it has been playing for years but now everybody thinks I'm the little girl on the Kellogg's Ad. I came across this comment because i wanted to see if people remembered my Advert. I have it here on DVD and Im going to upload it for Christmas for everyone to see! So look out for it! and Thank You for remembering! You have a great memory!
@MrSlasherJoe What? It's not Sarah Gellar. I just googled it, I can't get the name (I think it's Alexandra Stapley) but it's definitely not Sarah. And she's not Trinity college in Dublin, it's UCC in Cork.
The little girl with the blonde hair reminds me so much off my daughter when she was that age! She'll be 18 in July! This advert makes me cry every time I see it!!
TO HELL with Kellogs and fruity pebbles and fruit loops and apple jacks... They changed their recipes and added fiber. Right when you look at cocoa crispies or pebbles, you'll notice right away the fading color and the taste is now bland and sugarless. Why mess with our cereals Kellogs? Was it a new college grad's decision? Thumbs up and Write The company! Especially you guys just reading this. You have to know about the shitty shitty shitty change.
@sharondoyle37 i got the exact same thing! my parents think i looked like her too :O and people used to stop my mam in the street and ask her if i was from the ad ahaa
This is the best advert ever !! The little blonde girl is the absolute image of my daughter when she was little [she's 23 now!), even her little fluffy sleepsuit is identical to what she used to wear! When I saw the ad the other night it made me cry as it reminded me of her when she was little - keep playing the ad - the full version please!!
Does anyone know the actor's name in this advert? And if any of them are still working. Any info would help. I am pretty sure the little blonde girl is not Alexandra Stapley but not fully sure.
I way prefer the guiness christmas ad! This just isnt Irish enough! I hate that mans voice! still nice and christmassy! Merry Christmas everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!
This was out when I was the spitting image of the little toddler and I'm nearly twenty now and every time it airs my mam cries because I copied the ad when I was a toddler...
Doesn't feel like christmas unless I see it...the same with the Guiness and coca cola advert!
@sharondoyle37 yeah i looked like her too also i was also comaped to the little girl in the Polterguiest move when i was little mum keeps saying theirs your long lost identical twin lol wonder what thet little girl looks like now shell be in her 20s
@TeamKardashians Sorry for the confusion. There was a comment about the girl in Poltergeist and that was what I replied to. Sorry if you think I was inferring to the little girl in the advert.
Thats really weird because I got the same, all my family thought I looked exactly like that little girl when I was that age. ( I think my mother even bought a baby grow in that colour for me just because of the ad... yes how sad) but every time I see this ad I think of what my parents used to say!
I love Christmas ads that remain the same every year, its a lovely tradition!
This is actually a remake of the older Kelloggs ad that ran for years. This remake is almost identical to the original. I was looking for the original when I came aross this. It's just as good!
does the original have a little girl on the phone to santa and pointing to the receiver saying santa in a really cute small voice?? if not do you remember what that ad was for??
I'm never going to eat Kellog's again! It's forbidden in Denmark, because they put actual magnetic metal crumbs in the cornflakes. A dutch television programme managed to prove this!
this seems very unorthodox
