The Holidays are NOT coming this year

It looks like the 'Christmas Caravan' advert is going to win in the poll set by Coca Cola at http://www.coca-cola.co.uk/christmas/TvAdvertVote.asp?advert=2.... so far results are:

1st place: Christmas Caravan: 78.82%
2nd place: Polor Bear: 19.07%
3rd place: White Christmas: 2.11%

We just said that.

Roll on Christmas Eve!

Just noticed that the Coca Cola Bottlers (Ulster) website has the version with the holidays are coming music in their downloads section. Not sure if it's been there all along or whether they've just updated it recently.

Strange that the official Coca Cola UK website is still showing it with the new soundtrack.

Any sign of the changed version on network yet?

Nope. They played the "old" version during X on STV earlier.

Same one I saw then. I won't hold out for it airing at all this Christmas. At least we have Christmas Eve to look forward to.

I was watching RTE earlier this evening, and we got the new ad with with the amended soundtrack. Brill having it back, I don't mind the visuals - the magic is in the music.

That said, the wonderful kellogs (ho ho ho) ad is back on again. Don't ya love Christmas and these ad traditions!

i still havent seen the new ad with the old music on yet! every ad break i watch its always the new ad with the new music. grrr... its very frustrating!

I honestly don't know what people are moaning on about with this new ad. I think the new ad is beautiful, and works brilliantly as an advert in general, and as a christmas message. I think it's far superior to the "Holidays are coming" ad. The "Holidays are coming" music over the new ad has in my opinion ruined it somewhat.

Is this another case of pointless nostalgia?

i agree that its a beautiful ad and probably on a par with (or better than?) the christmas caravan ad, but the music is poor on it. IMO the holidays are coming music livened it up and it just isnt christmas without that tune.

I've got a very funny feeling that is more of the choice of Coca Cola Ireland than what it is Coca Cola UK, CCI's patch also covers Northern Ireland AIUI and it seems to me that everyone who's seen the new ad on TV has seen it on UTV, Channel 4 NI or RTÉ.
