Covid-19 puts a spanner in Santa's plans for this year in Innocent Drinks' Christmas ad.

The ad warns that "St Nick might end up on furlough" if Christmas isn’t allowed to take place this year, with residents boarding up their chimneys in anticipation of 25 December. 

Things take a turn, however, when a new (Covid-appropriate) Santa suit is sent to Father Christmas, which is fitted with "hygienic tinsel" and a "festive visor". It ends as Mr Claus is able to deliver this year’s presents without a hitch. It was created by Will Marsden and Jordan Down, and directed by Will Marsden and Jordan Down through Cylndr.

Last month, Innocent’s "The big knit" returned for its 18th year.
