Some of our recent Christmas work went down exceedingly well with the magazine and its online readers in a poll to find the most-loved Christmas campaigns of the year.

Nice Shirt were the only production company to have two spots in the top ten, with Stuart the only director to have helmed two spots this year's top picks.

Waitrose "The Story of Giving Back" made the Top Ten, despite being not the main focus of Waitrose's Christmas campaign this year (for that, you can see Heston weave his magic here). 

It polled 0.97% of all votes - a relatively small number one might think, but when I tell you that Hungary's rate of inflation remained at a 40-year low of 0.9 percent for the second month running in December, I think we all know the significance of the number. 

Debenhams "Wishes Made Fabulous" came in at a very respectable number three. 

Not quite Christmas Number One on Top of The Pops, but when you're up against the behemoths of Sainsbury's and John Lewis (Westlife and Bob The Builder to continue the Xmas POTP connection), third sounds pretty good to us. 

Waitrose"The Story of Giving Chocolates with a Hidden Surprise"by Stuart Douglas

The last of three festive Waitrose spots directed by Stuart is the most magical; with culinary genius Heston Blumenthal turning wizard master confectioner.

"The Story of Giving Chocolates With A Hidden Surprise" centres on Heston's preparations for his enticing Chocolate Story Box in time for Christmas. It's not your average box of chocolates and Heston is not your average Milk Tray Man - in Stuart's captivating film we see him and his assistants conjuring up delights with mandarin, pistachio and gold leaf, all with lashings of dark chocolate.

Stuart expertly crafts a charming story showing the intricate preparation that goes into making each sweet treat. His beautiful composition and ability to make even a piece of twig look enticing are fully employed. The film combines the wildly imaginative delight of a Willy Wonka-estque story with a portrait of the celebrated gastronomer and his wondrous workings. Licking of lips will certainly ensue.
