Alliance Boots will launch its Christmas TV ad campaign this Sunday, focusing on women looking gorgeous for their Christmas parties.

The ad shows an office full of women dolling themselves up for their staff Christmas party and the men waiting patiently at the event. Once the women have finished their hair and make-up, they flood to the party.

Boots managing director Alex Gourlay said: “The ad follows on from last year’s theme of looking gorgeous. Everyone is so busy around Christmas time, but they still want to make themselves gorgeous.”

Eight employees were picked to star in the ad after Boots ran a staff competition for the opportunity to take part in the autumn.
