Santa gets lost in the Australian outback in ALDI’s Christmas campaign
Discount supermarket chain ALDI has launched this year’s Christmas campaign which features Santa Claus crashing his sleigh in Australia’s outback.
The campaign, which was created by ALDI’s long-standing creative agency of record BMF, depicts Santa crashing his sleigh in the bush as he builds fences, shears sheep, drinks at the pub and runs away from a snake.
ALDI’s ‘Santa Crashes Christmas’ campaign sees Santa spend Christmas in the bush with a rural community as they work together to create a Christmas feast for Santa and repair his sleigh.
Love or hate Aldi but this year’s Xmas advert is Bloody Brilliant,
Love it.????
Love Aldi and love the ad. Love it.
It includes everyone even the original owners of this great land and truly expresses the Australian spirit of Christmas Well done!

I’m in love with this!
Ticks the box on so many things, so Aussie, embraces aboriginal Australia and it’s a “buildable” campaign, you feel it’s a first of a series rather than Woolies and Coles going straight to Christmas Day in early November
Well done Aldi
I love love love the add, no bullshit just Aussie
I like the ad. I just don’t understand the concept of why Santa is THAT early in Australia, that they have days to fix his sleigh.
Lovely ad. Where was it filmed please?
Would like to know where the ad was filmed. It’s the best Xmas ad! ?
Hi Tracey, did you get a reply to your question?
I think I have seen this house in person some years ago.
Did anyone respond to your request?
Cheers
Paul
THIs makes me feel proud of the Aussie spirit. We must remember we are The Great South Land. What a wonderful ad to capture that spirit of generosity. Love it!
I love this ad, I have literal tears of joy watching it. Thanks Aldi
Great Add Aldi
Is Santa the actor John Howard?
I wondered if it is John Jarrett
I think it might be Hugh Keays-Byrne also known as Toecutter in the Mad Max film.
Best ever santa and I love this ad. Its brilliant.
Just love the ad. I am sending it to my Canadian friends to spread some Aussie Christmas cheer. Thanks Aldi.
