Chevrolet Christmas advert ‘Memory Lane’
As the holiday season wraps up, car brands have been throwing sucker punches at us to try and bring tears to our eyes and leave a lasting impression that could get us through their dealership doors.
The Chevrolet Christmas advert has nailed that ethos, as Memory Lane depicts a family with entire generations of stories stuffed into its trunk.
Following two grandparents, the ad shows how one long-standing Chevy car withstood muddy paw prints, children’s toys, moody teenager rages, and young heartbreak, only for it to bring everyone together for the holiday season.
Chevrolet has prided itself on creating cars that stand the test of time.
From 1930 classics that are still viable on today’s roads to brand-new vehicles ranking at the top of consumer reports for reliability, the proof is in the pudding.
With engines that can last decades, including its stalwart V8 that has powered more cars than any other powertrain ever made, these cars really do stay in the family.
Social media loses its cool over Chevy ad
While some new ads have caught the headlines for their teasers, the Chevrolet Christmas advert has gone down a treat online.
“Not sure if I’ve ever gotten this emotional watching a commercial before,” one popular social media figure said on X.
“The conversations, the memories, the music. It all broke me. Thank you for making me cry today, Chevrolet.”
Another added, “Chills from beginning to end. This is what it’s all about. Be ready to cry.”
Even popular Formula 1 journalist and Drive To Survive Netflix star Will Buxton was caught in the feels.
“And now I’m in pieces,” he posted.
Christmas adverts are changing forever, with Coca-Cola at the forefront of a big shift in atmosphere, but Memory Lane has earned Chevy a reputation for bringing adults to tears with its dedication to heartfelt family moments.
