Christmas 2007

But the music only lasts for about twelve seconds!! I'm hoping against hope that they'll show a longer version in December, but I doubt it. We're definitely getting Scary Santa back next month, unfortunately.

They've obviously done that on purpose to create more advertising furore - if you see what I mean. Not that a huge brand like Coca Cola should bother marketing in that way.

Anyway, I finally saw the trucks last night, twice on 'Dave'. If I'm being picky they should extend it and add the Tamee soundtrack for December. It won't happen but you know.

I saw it last night on Channel 4 for the first time. The sparkly lights are magical and everything but the music is just awful

If I ever end up working for Coca-Cola Great Britain's marketing group...

Grrrrr. Holidays are not coming, it's Christmas!

Nice to see that they put the word 'Christmas' at the end this year, but the rest of the American 'holiday' nonsense they can keep over there

I think this is the coke cola christmas 2007?

Yes, it is. It's not too bad really, but it could have been so much better. I'm going to 'thank' them by buying a case of Coca-Cola in the proper glass bottles for Christmas (bonkers, I know!)

If you buy 2 packs of cans in Sainsburys you get a truck free.

I do hope that you meant to type 'truck'!

I'm glad it's back. It's one of those ads that I don't mind seeing over and over again.

I do find it a bit strange that the ad itself in in 4:3 then the new "Coke side of life" ending is in 16:9. I realise it's quite an old ad now, but you'd have thought a crop would have been in order, or - knowing the money Coke has, film a new one?

Shame about the new ending too - it was much better when "holiday's are coming" was left to fade out.

The whole point of the kid pushing through the crowd at the ending was so that the santa on the truck could move whilst hes looking at him, they ruined that bit.

As much as i liked the classic ad, am i the only one who really liked last years ad? For all those who preferred the 'Holidays are Coming' soundtrack, they did eventually put that on it didn't they?

By the way didn't the classic ad have one of Cokes old strap lines on it? Probably why they're so reluctant to play it. 'Always Coca-Cola' wasn't it?

What was last years ad? I only remember that rubbish cartoon of those kids and santa by a fireplace - you know the one that looked like a painting on a cheap recycled paper christmas card from the pound shop?

I remember that one, with Santa eating mince pie or something.

Last years was the Christmas Village scene with Santa crossing the bridge giving a woman a Coca Cola bottle.

Anyway, Christmas songs have begun on THE HITS today!
