80's Kraft Holiday Commercials

These commercials aired during ABC's presentation of Jim Henson's "The Christmas Toy" on December 6th, 1986. All of the fatty foods and cheesy narration manage to perfectly sum up what Christmas was like in the 80's. Also features promos for "John Grin's Christmas" and "The Perry Como Christmas Special".

None of these look appetizing.

I'm not saying I'd actually eat them, but the cheddar crisps and cappuccino cheesecake don't look bad. And I'd totally eat some of that chocolate mousse.

interesting, nonetheless :)

Product sponsorship. They were pretty much the only commercials that aired during this special.

I think these continued through as Kraft sponsored Fluppy Dogs that came on afterward... or was it before... I need to find my vhs tapes. And a VCR.

4:44 "... top with more cheese." that about sums it up.

My mom taped The Christmas Toy for us before we were born (in 1987, 1989 and 1994) and didn't cut any of the commercials. The Christmas Toy is still one of our favorite Christmas movies (we watch it every year!) but just hearing these commercials makes me feel like a kid and instantly puts me in the Christmas mood! I love them. I think the original tape has been played so many times that it doesn't work, so thank you for posting these! :)

Thank you SO MUCH for uploading this, 80sCommercialVault!!!! If I could, I would make the Kraft dishes shown in this, and give them to you for your reward for preserving and uploading! Although you deserve a lot more more for your efforts and sharing, than just this food.
