Not only that, but they're implying simple safety rules like "Don't open the door to anyone" and "Don't accept anything from strangers" should be ignored because you might get a bottle of Coke out of it. Somebody get me a copy of the Daily Mail so I can roll it up and shake it in the air.
Seriously though, I don't know why they insist on making a new one every year when the majority of people want to see the "trucks" advert. All the new ones just get forgotten about.
"Don't believe everything you're told" over an image of Santa. That's breaking it to the kids gently.

Are the trucks big in other countries though, or just in the UK? I went to the World of Coca Cola museum in Atlanta earlier this year, and they have an exhibit on classic Coke ads from the US & around the world- and the trucks are nowhere to be seen! The Americans seem to be mad for the polar bears instead, but I think it's a long time since we've had them in the UK.

I went along to a Coca Cola trucks event a couple of years ago! They are big! Twas great fun, with carol singers miming along to the various Coca Cola jingles (!!), a chance to visit Santa and lots of fake snow everywhere.
The trucks was always a European thing I believe. They'll show classic one for the popular demand and the new one is deemed to be needed elsewhere.

I've never got the appeal of the Coca Cola trucks. Hideous smaltzy American adverts for an equally as bad a product!
'Holidays are coming' for most of us in the summer!

It's never encouraged me, or anybody I know, to drink Coca Cola. But over time it became a tradition to see it on television, with a lot of people considering it as the first sign that Christmas is coming. I was too young to remember its first showings but I can only assume it didn't generate the adoration it gets now for at least a few years.

Well the Yellow Pages advert wouldn't work now, so it's all we have.
