‘A Sausage CaRoll’ - The Visionaries director Michael Baldwin teams up with Ladbaby for Walkers Christmas ad

Walkers dropped their Christmas advert for 2020, directed by Michael Baldwin through Craft Films. The advert features internet sensation and the man behind 2019’s Christmas number 1 ‘ I Love Sausage Rolls’ - Mark Ian Hoyle , commonly known as LadBaby. Other famous faces include Walkers regular Gary Lineker, Aled Jones and East 17. 

The festive silliness is full of sausage roll puns and pop culture references which is brilliantly put together by Michael, making for one of the most enjoyable Christmas spots of the year.


 ‘This was one of those jobs where everyone was singing from the same song sheet (literally) and it was just as much fun to make as it is to watch. Luckily the covid filming restrictions didn't compromise the creative. Oh, and it's for a brilliant cause too so hopefully there'll be a lot of munching this festive season. Merry Crispmas!’ - Director Michael Baldwin.
