Retro Folgers Commercial (1982)

My all time favourite commercial from 1982. The Christmas commercial for Folgers coffee, Home For The Holidays. I wish they still showed this commercial on tv. They don't....at least where I live.

Everywhere I've seen this commercial, it was 1982. Where's your proof ?

@Spottedfeather Hi Spottedfeather: Guess what! I found that retro Bell Canada ad right here on youtube. Don't ask me what I did, I just came across it one day. I have it stored on my computer, so if you haven't come across it yet, and would like to see it, just let me know and I'll upload it. Btw, it's just as wonderful as I remember it.

@tsjrlover Sure. Post away.

This commercial was shot in 1986.

No, not really. I'm pretty sure that it's either a Folgers or a Maxwell House Ad. But don't quote me. It went something like this. A boy was vacationing in I think it was France (wherever Dieppe is). And he was on the phone with his grandfather and told him he was in France. The grandfather replied by saying something like "Ah, checking out all the pretty girls huh?", to which the grandson replied "No, actually Grandpa, I'm in Dieppe, & "I just called to say thanks ". It was beautiful.

No. It is definately a Bell Canada commercial. Just do a search.

I have always loved this commercial too. I remember when it came out in the early 80's and always think that it is not Christmas until they play this commercial. Every once in a while they may play it on tv (not like they used to). This is the kind of commercial we still need to tv. To show the importance of family. This commercial makes me cry, I just love it. Thank you for posting this.

It's fantastic. I swear, I cried seeing it again.

@spottedfeather the commercial is actually from 1985; because someone else who posted this commercial in its uncut version actually has comments from the actress who plays the mom and she says it first aired the day after Thanksgiving 1985

This is sad, there's more warmth and heart and feeling in this coffee ad than there is in most modern movies.

I miss this commercial. The "newer" is ok, but it can't top this one.

One of my favourite things about older Christmas commercials was the magical music. Those were clearly happier times. As this ad shows, people said "Merry Christmas" with joy. Today people roll their eyes when they hear that, and wonder if they should say "happy holidays" instead, and they grumble about Christmas "stress".
