Vodafone – Glide Through Christmas


This Vodafone Christmas 2018 advert titled “Glide Through Christmas” features English actor and comedian Martin Freeman. He panics as his Auntie Sue arrives unannounced at a family gathering and he realises he hasn’t got her a Christmas present. Luckily, thanks to Vodafone’s 4G network, a present is ordered and awkwardness is averted. Martin then goes to a nearby ice rink to express his joy in the form of some unbelievable ice skating moves.

The music in the advert

Music: Beautiful Dreamer | Artist: Roy Orbison

The music in the Vodafone Christmas 2018 advert is the 1964 rendition of Beautiful Dream by American singer-songwriter Roy Orbison. The song was written by American songwriter Stephen Foster who died in 1864. As a result, the song was published posthumously in March 1864. Beautiful Dreamer has been recorded by many other artists including Bing Crosby (1940) and Jim Reeves (1962).
