Watch the 2020 McDonald’s Christmas Ad

The ad tells the story of a single mother trying to engage her young son in the Christmas festivities. From decorating the tree to wandering around a Christmas market and having fun in the snow, the mum continues to try and connect with her son.

Her son is fighting with his inner child who really wants to play and have fun with his mum.

Becky Hill’s beautiful cover of ‘Forever Young’ adds to the emotion – don’t forget that 10p from every download will go to FareShare UK. You can download it here.
