Christmas advert on Channel 4 earlier today?

I'm sure I saw an advert for Sainsburys Christmas food on Channel 4 this afternoon. How bad is that?

I received a Liz Earle advent calendar email today. Grr

Ha. Don’t wander over to Style and Beauty they’ve had an Advent Calendar thread running since 30th June 😄

I feel like I've seen the Balsam Hill Xmas tree ad a few times recently. The one where the tree is feeling sad looking at a real tree outside. It's possible I've seen it on YouTube rather than the TV. Not sure

Nope, definitely on the TV. They started showing that one the last week of July!

You saw the one with Rick Astley in it?

A month ago my FB feed was full of AI generated autumnal scenes, now it's full of Christmas. Meanwhile I'm sweltering in the heatwave.

The Sainsbury's Christmas advert is definitely not out yet.

TkMaxx/ HomeSense had Hallowe’en stock in July ( just sayin’)

I was in a Tesco Metro on Friday (so the 9th) they had the tubs of Roses, Quality Street, possibly Celebrations.

i bet the tubs are smaller too

Xmas chocolates already in my local asda🎅

They want you to buy them early, eat them, and buy them again!

Yes I noticed the tubs of celebrations etc appear in a display in the entrance to my nearest Sainsbury's a couple of weeks ago. I suppose they could be explained awag as part of a Halloween promotion but I always associate them with Christmas. Certainly filled me with dread.

Same in Tesco.

There’s a 12 days of Christmas John Lewis advert showing here for me! That’s the first thing I’ve seen, but I’ve seen tons of Halloween stuff.

Redshoeblueshoe · 14/08/2024 23:21

In the run up to the general election I was so fed up with it I started watching Christmas movies. So that was June

Shouldn't be allowed?

I’m all excited for Christmas all year so I love it

RuthW · 14/08/2024 22:14

It's my birthday next week. Christmas and winter stuff is always out by then

JudgeJ · 14/08/2024 22:12

I think I noticed a couple of Christmas films when trawling through the tv guide a couple of weeks ago.

Oh god. I love Christmas but the second my inlaws see a Christmas advert they will be messaging to start nailing down plans 😣

OldTinHat · 14/08/2024 21:58

As a PP has mentioned, I went into B&M today and tadaaaaa - Christmas tat gift sets have landed. They've not even got their Halloween stuff out yet 😆

SloaneStreetVandal · 14/08/2024 21:51

We all say this every year, Christmas <insert item> already??? I love it though 🙈
My daughter (14) and I were making our autumn/winter plans today (Christmas village, panto etc) 🌲❄️☃️
