The story
Why it stays with you
Wallace puts his Gift-o-matic to work for Christmas. Aardman's inventor and his patient dog bring their familiar domestic comedy to festive gifting.
For Wallace, even giving presents is an opportunity to invent a machine. The Gift-o-matic promises to take care of the seasonal work, bringing a suitably elaborate solution into the pair's home.
Aardman's stop-motion production makes this an easy addition to a viewing session featuring its longer films. The appeal is the familiar relationship between enthusiasm and exasperation, compressed into an advertising break.
This is Barbour's 2025 Wallace & Gromit campaign, following its collaborations with Shaun the Sheep. It is a separate story, with gifting at its centre.
Playback checked 15 October 2026. Video availability may change.
