Coca Cola has released its 2019-take on the soft drink's traditional Christmas advert.
The 2019 video features all the hallmarks of a Coca Cola Christmas campaign: snowdusted hills, an excitable child and a convoy of neon-lit red Coca Cola trucks meandering their way through the winter countryside and into town as a new take on Coke's Christmas anthem, 'Holidays are Coming' chimes away.
There is a nod to retro Coke adds, too, with the clip ending by showing a vintage looking Santa Claus - decked out in the red which Coke made famous - swigging from a cold bottle and raising it in toast to the festive season.
The Coca Cola truck is touring the UK in the run-up to Christmas, but has already made its sole North East stop, calling at Boldon last week with trademark Christmas jingles, fake snow, trees and giveaways.
The Christmas countdown is now well underway. The big day on December 25 is exactly a month away, while the Black Friday shopping event falls this Friday.
So expect to have 'Holidays are Coming' stuck in your head for the next four weeks at least.
