Holidays are Coming

Ok so it might be a wee bit early but frankly I don't particularly care – I'm feeling very festive already and I'm embracing it. It all started after the introduction of the red cups – a nice festive flavoured mocha always reminds me of walking down Carnaby Street in the winter admiring the slightly obscure inflatable decorations.
However my festive feeling was solidified this weekend after I saw the John Lewis Christmas television advert for the first time. I don't know what it is about Christmas advertisements but I find them iconic and memorable. Ever since I was a young girl and saw the Yellow Pages Christmas advert with the boy, girl and mistletoe I've found that, for me, Christmas adverts really signify the start of the festive season. I love the cosy, warm and exciting feeling that they bring - all in one 30 second commercial.
However, no matter what other brands do or how creative the adverts, nothing screams Christmas is approaching quite like Coca-Cola – that's when I really know that the 'Holidays are Coming.'
