The Christmas commercial for Liverpool is praised as “better than John Lewis”

A few items from the Reds’ new Christmas collection, including one that has already sold out, as well as their new Christmas commercial have gone viral.

Following the announcement of Liverpool’s Christmas collection, shoppers flocked to one particular item, which quickly sold out.

The Royle Family’s Ricky Tomlinson and Sue Johnstone, along with Reds players Virgil van Dijk, Darwin Nunez, Curtis Jones, Alisson Becker, Cody Gakpo, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Wataru Endo, celebrate Christmas together in the club’s new Christmas commercial, which was released this week. Legendary Liverpool player John Aldridge also makes a brief attempt to revive The Anfield Rap.

The video has gone viral among Liverpool fans on social media, with many of them reacting on the video’s debut on the LFC Retail X account. “This smashes all the other Christmas ads out of the park,” one admirer, @Michell44673190, wrote, while @markastrickland added, “Fair play to the club, this is bang on,” @Rayking1982 boldly asserted, “Better than John Lewis’ this!! #ynwa,” and @angiesliverpool simply stated, “Love this.”

Even though some of Liverpool’s biggest names seemed to steal the show, it seems that some people were in favor of Aldo’s revival of the Anfield Rap, as evidenced by the tweet from @CraftsDiamante, which said, “Love this, gutted they cut off @Realaldo474 Anfield Rap though #Tune.” The release of the well-liked ad followed the launch of several new Christmas products with LFC themes on the LFC Store.

One item, among a plethora of new offerings, attracted the attention of Reds fans worldwide to the point where it is no longer offered on the online store. Recently added to the LFC Online Store, the LFC 3D Stadium Advent Calendar is already sold out.

The calendar, a three-dimensional depiction of Anfield, is crammed with bigger and more substantial merchandise like headphones and a gym bag, along with smaller ones like fridge magnets and keychains. But there are a lot of other products on the LFC website right now, including some traditional Christmas favorites like this men’s Christmas PJ set, this red Christmas jumper, and this hooded dressing gown for £35.

A “collector’s edition” LFC Deluxe Print Calendar 2024 with detachable, frameable prints is also part of the new collection. The players wear a lot of vintage uniforms and accessories during practice and games, like this Nike Windrunner Hooded Jacket, which is also available.
