Awful, not as classy as previous years.


Still, that's Peter Kay catered for this Christmas...

In the UK, the 'Holidays Are Coming' commercial will play for a month from 12th November

I've never seen the appeal of that advert, especially for it's use of the word 'holidays' Rolling Eyes

Uh because it's got a Christmassy, charming, exciting feel to it. It always has done and always will. That advert signifies the start of Christmas for a lot of people, me included. Why Coca Cola don't get the hint, save some money and just reuse it for the whole of Christmas is beyond me. Well I guess seeing a shop worker sitting in a trolley to some very unchristmassy rock music counts as festive these days. Confused

The M&S advert sucks. It barely has any festivity to it, and seems more like a sketch that might get used on a Peter Kay show if he was taking the mick out of M&S adverts.

I'm not a fan of that new Coca Cola ad either. As many would agree, the original Holidays are Coming ad is legendary, unbeatable, and irreplaceable. Whilst the on-screen goings on are nice enough, the music spoils it, as did the R&B twist that replaced the soundtrack on the original advert - now THAT was terrible.

The Coke Trucks ad also has nostalgia I think. Same goes for the Yellow Pages and Hellmans advert.

Is Toys R Us recreation coming back this year?

Utter bilge! There is nothing charming or exciting about it at all. Christmas is not about a convoy of brightly lit
red wagons carrying hundreds of gallons of that completely over-rated, gassy, tooth-rotting, syrupy sh*t ... !

'Santa Claus is coming'
'Christmastime is coming' etc or just change the tune to match the local phrasiology? After all, I'm sure they use the same advert with different rhyming schemes for different languages.

Although I agree with DGJM - it's overrated sugar water!

Nobody has used 'Santa Claus' or 'Christmastime' in normal conversation since the end of National Service. Wink
