Groan - Yes, Dublin is the home of Guinness but the advert is filmed throughout the country - including Belfast.

That's city Hall in Dublin. If youare looking from the quays. I do not know why people think its belfast since the majority of it is clearly dublin. The home of Guinness.LOL Love the ad every christmas espeacilly if its the last you see on Christmas eve.

@mistresspat7 Afraid you're wrong there. It's Belfast. Get out your Google Images and search for Belfast City Hall and Dublin City Hall. Look at the height of the dome/rotunda.

@jeromecurtin I believe you're both mistaken here. The building is Dublin's Custom House, and the shot is taken from the Butt Bridge.

[jeromecurtin]

@mdclavey59 The building at the start of the advert is of course the Custom's house - that's not disputed. The debate centres over the building at about the 30second mark. It's the town hall in Belfast as seen from Donegal Street and not Dublin City Hall from Parliament Street as some people think.

This is honestly the best christmas advert on tv, screw the coca cola one!

I love this advert, it makes me feel so Christmas'y ^^

As for the locations: "The locations cover the four corners of the island. We have Patick’s Hill in Cork, we shot those scenes while the Guinness Cork Jazz festival raged in the background. Claddagh in Galway, Belfast City Hall and of course the Custom’s House and the Brewery in Dublin, amongst others."

So settle down folks, it's not just Dublin, they were going for a "Home of the Black Stuff" as in all of 'Ireland' x)

Nothing like Ireland and Christmas. While we're Americans who love to visit, we do burn a little peat during the holidays to capture some that magic and memories of our trips there.
