Mog’s Christmas Calamity


Mog’s Christmas Calamity is the 2015 advert from the UK-based supermarket chain Sainsburys. It is based around the popular fictional cat Mog, created by the children’s author Judith Kerr. With Christmas carefully planned in the Thomas household, Mog sets off a chain of events which lead to catastrophe.

Check out the Sainsburys website for more information and background on the advertising campaign and the video. The Teaching Ideas website has some suggestions as to how to use the video in the classroom. The Film English website also has a suggested lesson plan based on the video.
