Considering yesterday was November 19th, some may consider it a tad early but at this stage we’ve given up complaining.
It seems as every year goes by, the Christmas festivities arrive earlier and earlier.
We’ve been plagued gifted with numerous Christmas adverts, the creators of which seem to be in fierce competition to have the best one every year.
But while the new efforts from the likes of John Lewis and Marks and Spencer divide opinion among the general public every Christmas , one advert we can always rely on is the Coca-Cola advert, which always remains the same.
Yes that famous Coca-Cola truck has made an appearance on our screens, with the first play of the advert being shown last night during X Factor and I’m a Celeb.
Using the hashtag #HolidaysareComing, the best Christmas ad of all put people right in the Christmas mood and despite the atrocities 2016 has brought, it’s nice to see people still getting excited for something as simple as an ad.
Following the airing of the iconic advert, people on Twitter were feeling very festive.
