Sky3 seem to have their Christmas idents running - a 3 morphing into a tree. Rather nice it is too - presumably Sky1 and Sky2 have something similar.

Was watching Bravo earlier - it seems the newer Coke advert (with granny and Santa) is back in use...
So looks like they've done the same as last year - unless they're still showing the trucks as well...

Those are quite nice. I think the Sky 3 tree looks the best - a little more festive than the other 2.

Well it's not just some of us that think that the Coca Cola Truck commercials are a sign that Christmas is around the corner. And the paedo Santa from 2006 was hated worldwide.

Quote:
1) "Holidays Are Coming"
Forget Advent, forget that brown nugget masquerading as chocolate behind door number one: we all know it's not officially Christmas until the Coca-Cola trucks roll into town. Every year they pitch up, causing mayhem on a network of windy, single-carriageway country roads and, without so much as a moment's thought for the environment, illuminating every lightbulb within 40 miles before anyone at the Guardian has had time to buckle their sandals and lift a placard. Well, not every year – it took them a while to strike upon this winning formula.
Remember those godawful ads of the 1970s, where they got a load of hippies to stand on a hill and bludgeon "I'd like to teach the world to sing" with their gleefully brandished Coke bottles? They resurrected that idea for an 1986, when a hall full of children sang about a better world tomorrow (it's about 4m14s into this clip; be sure to unload any weapons in the house, because you'll want to run out into the street firing randomly at passersby by about 4m23s).
It wasn't until the mid-1990s that they struck upon their classic Yuletide jingle, though it went "Santa packs are coming" in the beginning. The "Holidays Are Coming" version is now so popular across the world that Coke's 2006 effort, which dropped the song and went in for some good old-fashioned schmaltz, sparked the kind of global outcry normally reserved for portly political journalists sitting out the next dance.

It's a shame the trucks ad wasn't around for longer - I only saw it once.
