KFC releases festive animations wishing you ‘good luck’ with the turkey

Following from last year’s Western-style showdown between a turkey and a chicken, Mother London continues on their turkey hunt.

The series of five 10-second ads draw on the usual Christmas dinner catastrophes, featuring defrosting a frozen bird, fitting it in the oven, and carving it.

“Burnt, overdone, chewy, dry… we’ve all got a turkey horror story. And they’re usually enough to keep any family’s designated chef up all Christmas Eve,” said Kate Wall, Head of Advertising and Retail at KFC UK and Ireland.

“This year we wanted our Christmas campaign to take an irreverent, cheeky look at the ritual that has become ‘Christmas Turkey’. Wishing everyone good luck with the turkey on 25th December. ‘Cos until then we’ve got you.”
