Asda Brings Back The Grinch for Value-Driven 2025 Christmas Ad

The campaign frames festive joy as accessible through Asda Price to speak to cost-of-living concerns.

Overview

  • Asda launched the ad on its social channels on 1 November, with a 60‑second version debuting on ITV1 at 8:30pm during The 1% Club.
  • The spot shows the Grinch shopping with two children and singing a Let It Snow pastiche that celebrates prices being rolled back down low.
  • Asda’s chief customer officer Rachel Eyre says the goal is to help shoppers enjoy the season despite financial pressures, highlighting value as the core message.
  • The rollout coincides with the 25th anniversary of the live‑action Grinch film made famous by Jim Carrey.
  • Early reaction ranges from social media praise calling it Asda’s best festive ad to critical notes about creative departures, including the absence of Max the dog.
