I did see a Woolworths ad recently with Christmassy effects - but it wasn't anything special, just a continuation of the "News" campaign with Wooly and Worth and Margherita Taylor on voiceover.

Although I didn't realise until recently that Woolworths didn't advertise on TV in the UK until the mid 1970s, more info can be found here:

Take a look at this, this is Japan's Coca Cola advert where they've got a Christmassy version of the Coke Side of Life music.

Where as this random country
here sings to the C.S.O.L. I presume the lyrics are Christmassy.

That is the Brazilian version.

I'm pretty confused. The sh*te Coca Cola ad from last year is going round, yet i've seen the original trucks adverts a few times, and now i'm seeing last years... and I wasn't watching an old VHS...

Yep, Coca Cola GB didn't really want to use the Holidays are Coming this year, it was only due to popular demand that it was shown. Unfortunately we now have to put up with the same one as last year until Christmas.

I know this has nothing to do with Christmas, but I just found this on youtube which I've not seen in what must be over a decade now - it's the original mid-90s ad that part of the Holidays are Coming song is based on!

That's the American version, I think the UK one was the same but without the word 'Classic'. It ran for ages I think, I remember they did a Halloween one as well.
