I watched ITV yesterday about 8:00 and it was the music that it was in the original 2006 version.

Nice to have the old music on it.

Yes, I saw it last night on Channel 4 and it had the original music. Hmmm. Confused

Probably have to see the build up as well to know if it works (C4 aired it tonight without the Holidays are coming music).

Only missed 5 seconds this time! Wink Clicky

It's strange that both versions are still airing, I've seen the holidays are coming version both on UTV and Channel 4 but yet the old version is still airing on network. Why would this be?

Well, Coca Cola Bottlers Ireland operate in Ireland and Northern Ireland. I'd guess that they buy the advertising slots on UTV and Channel 4 NI (though I may be entirely wrong about this). Maybe the UK bottling company aren't using the reworked version, or maybe (and hopefully) they just aren't using it yet.

I like the new version of the theme, think we should change the title of the topic now a little?

I'm actually glad they've updated the advert now - it's a good idea well executed. It's one of they adverts that you can see being shown for years to come (like the trucks).

The original soundtrack was poor and completely forgettable. I'm glad they came to their senses and put the music on it. Let's just hope they won't show the first version again...

Coca-Cola are running an online poll to choose which ad they show in a special shwing on C4 during Best of 8 Out Of 10 Cats. Guess which one is winning.

That's very odd, actually - not only are they apparently showing two versions of "The Greatest Gift", they're going to throw in "Christmas Caravan" (???) on the 24th.

I'd be happy just hearing the proper music with the new advert. Rolling Eyes
