Ah, I did think possibly UK Gold (it's now obvious that the fireworks are a reference to their idents around 2000-ish). Wasn't 1998 though, which was a 2D animation involving a pantomime horse. Must just be mis-labelled.
That’s a UK Gold ident, although I remember it from 2000 unless it was used in previous years.

Let the guessing game commence as to why that was dropped as the trail topper and ident.
I'll go first. Still in the balloon era, and having that float CGI-esque would just look odd.
There's nothing bad about it (compared to what we actually ended up with).
Yes, the boom up shot from the front door to the lads bedroom could be better done, and the lighted snowflake motif goes against the red ballon motif of the channel, but other than that..
For the record - this is what ended up being the 1998 BBC One Christmas ident(s)
Not sure what this was, but it certainly wasn't the 1998 BBC One Christmas ident.

Or you could congratulate the person who pointed it out to them and sent them the correct logo 😉
I’d like to congratulate the person who realised they were using that fake/fan made version of the BBC logo and have replaced it with the proper one.
