You sure its going to be the Northern Ireland version? If so that is great news. I'm more bothered about the music than the trucks.


I don't know for sure. But Coca-Cola would be very stupid if they didn't choose that version over last year's. First airing is today so it will probably be shown during a popular programme like X Factor. We shall see!

I've found yet another version of 'Scary Santa' with different music. It must be the one shown in the US last year.

That version above was quite a bit better. Music fitted much better, but I would still prefer the Northern Ireland version, but I think they won't bother. They seem to be avoiding "Always Coca Cola" and i'm sure the Northern Ireland version has it.

The Northern Ireland version is here http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=EMTy4OrOEao. It has "Always Coca Cola" in the song but includes Coke Side of Life caption.

Sorry if I've missed anything, but whose version of "It's Beginning To Look Like Christmas" is it on the Argos ad, and what CD is it on?

It says "The url contained a malformed video id."

Well I haven't seen it anywhere yet today, plus will the Coke advert air on ITV1 in all regions if they're airing it on ITV1, or will somewhere like London get it first?

On a carbonated drink related note does anyone else remember Pepsi's Countdown to Christmas that used to take up a whole advert on Saturday night for about 6 weeks?

And on a Christmas advert note, has anybody seen a Woolworths Christmas advert this year yet? I've seen Woolworths promos where they tag their branding onto an album or DVD, but I haven't seen a proper woolworths advert yet.

And it's nothing compared to this that was mentioned earlier on TV Forum if I remember correctly

Haven't seen a Coca-Cola advert yet today either.

Saw the new Thorntons ad, though. What were they on when they decided to commission that atrocity?? Shocked
