Holidays are Coming ad apparently airs tonight,
+ here's the UK Christmas website, with TV ad section with the tagline "christmas on the coke side of life" (scary santa one)

So I'm guessing both adverts will be used this Christmas then?

Indeed, no sign of the trucks ad so far. Confused Maybe they've held it back.

Dear All,

Your favourite ad is coming back! I work in Coca-Cola marketing and can confirm it will be back on air in GB from 18th November. As soon as I know what programs its in i'll let you know.

Well done on the campaign, this was one of the reasons we had to bring it back.

Interesting if both will air this year. They obviously know of the public demand for the trucks after last years vote for an advert to air on Channel 4 on Christmas eve.
I wasn't a big fan of last years, and I think that the reason is in the tune, as nice as a whaling girl can be, there was just no tune, and no campness in a way, it's what Christmas is all about.

According to facebook "Holidays are Coming" has apparently been shown on Ch. 5 during Spiderman

It's been on during IACGMOOH, basically it was the one they showed last year on 24th Dec during Friday Night Project (the one we had to vote for (which in fact different to the one we voted for on the web))

It was on earlier as well. I keep missing it! It must be quite short.

Ugh. That one's rubbish. Rolling Eyes

Ferrero Rocher are now using the same ad they used last year, the Bond themed one with 'Something tells me something's gonna happen tonight'.

Was on C4 just after midnight - quite an old version I think though as it was pillar-boxed in 4:3

*That* advert has just been on during Whose Line... on Dave - but after the kid pushes through the crowd and the music stops, it cuts to a "The Coke Side of Life" caption.

Did Ch4 play this during the damming report about Coke on Monday ( coke sold cola to hitler.)

Is the original UK version up on YouTube? All I can find is the American/international versions which I guess were never shown over here?
