Christmas Ads 2013

And the first supermarket out of the gate is...



And it's its first advert on British telly.

Thank God they've stopped trying to call it 'lee-del'.

There's another short version featuring 'Sandy Claws'

Well presumably they've only done that for cheesy homophones such as the one in the ad. Aldi hasn't succumbed to the people saying OL-di - that's much more of a distinction.

Have we just been lucky in Scotland then? They've been showing us telly ads for a few months now - the 30sec bakery one especially ran for quite a while: http://www.youtube.com/user/lidlukofficial/videos

Littlewoods have come a long way since that controversial one they did in 2011

Lidl has run TV ads for years. I remember one about 10 years ago which was embarrasingly tacky, complete with brash 3D graphics.

So that's Christmas starting for a ton on Saturday.

Are the coca cola trucks still popular in the US, and other countries, or is it just for us?

If they are, wouldn't it make sense to do a new version of their trucks rather than a totally different advert?
