The holiday season is encroaching upon us with Christmas songs already playing in stores and decorations going up everywhere. And nothing makes folks more nostalgic for yesteryear than the holidays. Well, if you grew up in the 1990s or 1980s, then we have the perfect thing to enhance your holiday mood and give you all those retro vibes you crave. The first one is a three-hour compilation of Christmas season commercials from YouTube channel ’90s Rewind. Some are ads for soft drinks, some are for department stores, and of course, some are for toys. There’s no Christmas without the toys. You can watch all three hours right here:
But what if you want to go even further back in time for your retro holiday feels? Then this ’80s Christmas fast food commercials compilation is for you. It contains several vintage ads for nationwide chains like Pizza Hut, Burger King, and Taco Bell. Oh, and a metric ton of holiday commercials from McDonald’s. Let them take you back to a time when every purchase at the drive-thru window during the holidays meant a free festive piece of glassware, or a Santa’s elves Happy Meal toy. This was back when every fast food franchise in America had a distinct look and didn’t look like the exact same boring, beige box. Ah, the good old days.
Will people be as nostalgic in the future for the modern holiday season as many of us are now for the past century’s version? The answer to that is a definitive “yes.” Whatever the holidays were to your childhood will remain the peak version to you when you become an adult. That’s just how it works. So one day, Gen Alpha will lovingly look back at the virtual family gatherings and online shopping. It’s inevitable. In the meantime, the “olds” can watch their consumerist childhood holiday memories on a loop till New Year’s Day.
