Not altogether unlike the festive offering from 10 years ago - http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=gaOPBNicB3E&feature=related

Given the huge variety of idents during the non-festive season, I wonder if there will be any others?

I like that they have incorporated the Five logo within the ident rather than just slapped it on at the beginning:

Channel 5 always do very well at Christmas, 2001 in particular was great:

I'm glad I caught that!

So that's two of them, I wonder if there are any more. Hope so! They are very nice.

I especially liked the idents from 2001, they reminded me of BBC2's 1991 Christmas pres.

Wow, Five really has gone all out this year. Not sure what's so 'Christmassy' about the Fiver ident though; just a very small amount of snow and a sparkly logo.

The Fiver Christmas ident is very ITV2esque though I agree it is not very christmassy though it could be edited to be used for the rest of the year. The Five US ident is nice too and a surprise considering it's the only one of the Five family to still have the old typefont.
