Early 90s Lafayette Holiday Commercials That Will Bring Back Christmas Nostalgia

As families across Louisiana prepare for the holidays, many of us can’t help but look back on how much things have changed over the years.

The cost of virtually everything has gone up, old trends have returned, and some once-beloved stores have disappeared entirely.

For those who grew up in Louisiana, memories of shopping in the 1990s bring a special kind of nostalgia, especially during the holidays.

Wait until you watch the video below of all the old 90s commercials that aired during the holidays locally on TV.

Do You Remember These Louisiana Stores?

Holiday shopping in the 90s was a completely different experience in Louisiana. Malls like the Acadiana Mall in Lafayette, Lakeside Shopping Center in Metairie, or even smaller local stores were packed with families hunting for the perfect gifts.

Online shopping has changed the way people Christmas shop and most people don't even step foot in a mall during the holidays anymore.

If you shopped at Brothers on the Boulevard, or other beloved local businesses like Furniture Center and Brevelle’s Jewelers you will enjoy this nostalgic Youtube video that is a compilation of holiday commercials that aired in the 90's in Acadiana.

Remember The Acadiana Mall Food Court Commercial?

For many Louisianians, a trip to the mall in the 90s wasn’t complete without a stop at the food court. Whether you were grabbing a slice of pizza, a soft pretzel, or a milkshake, it was all part of the holiday shopping experience.

One commercial from the Acadiana Mall Food Court showcases just how much has changed over the years, as many of those beloved eateries have come and gone. The food court, even having its own commercial, shows just how much times have changed.

The vintage Nintendo commercial from the early 90s reminds us how gaming systems like the Nintendo Entertainment System and Game Boy were some of the most sought-after gifts under the Christmas tree. Now, Gamestop has announced hundreds of store closures across the country.

What Stores Do You Miss Most?

Do you remember Christmas shopping in the 90s? Are there any Louisiana stores that you fondly remember and wish were still around? Whether it’s a local boutique, a department store, or a restaurant from the food court, the memories of those simpler times bring a special warmth to the holiday season.

While stores and trends may come and go, the nostalgia they bring never fades.
