its got to be the BBC1 christmas globes. the santa one, even though there was only one version, was spectacular and i loved the aardman one too-the last special balloon variant *sob*
BBC2 lights show is a close 2nd, with the itv1 winterland in 3rd.

My favouritest ever festive presentation was on BBC1 when I was quite young. I'm sure it was during the COW era, possibly either Dec 1989 or Dec 1990.

It was all this "pop-up" reality coming out of a book. I think it was something like a wizard walking up a staircase into a fairytale castle, or something. My memory is very very hazy. When the book shuts, its front cover has a moon (possibly with a smiley face?) on it, instead of a globe (I think). Nothing's ever topped that IMHO.

I also really really liked the festive Carlton hearts. And especially the "champagne bubbles" Carlton hearts idents for New Years.

No contest- BBC1 Globe.

Things change but they don't, necessarily, get better.

How come you haven't included BBC pre-1999?

ITV 2003 has to be my favourite. The celebrity idents they had to endure were bad, but it's own design generic idents and the modified promos were very well made with excellent animation. In fact if I'm not mistaken it's still in use on UTV in forms this christmas (I think it's used with Watch to Win).
