After seven weeks of head-to-head competition, it’s time to pick the champion of the 2018 RetailWire Christmas Commercial Challenge. Some of the spots making it to the finals have generated massive attention on YouTube. Petco’s “Saving Up” spot now has over 7.7 million views, while Cost Plus World Market’s “Santa’s Favorite Cookie” and Dick’s Sporting Goods’ “Table” have racked up more than 3.5 million each. Macy’s “Space Station” topped 1.6 million. RetailWire readers typically produced a clear winner every week with the exception of last week when voters gave equal weight to spots from Cost Plus World Market and Meijer. Now, it’s up to you decide. May the best commercial win.
