Dunno about you lot but there was always one advert that made me feel all Christmassy and that was the Coke one where there was a big truck with lights on and the song was "holidays are coming, the holidays are coming..."
The programme has to be Morcambe and Wise Xmas Special.

The coke ad was the one that first sprang to mind but the old QC ones came to mind the other day.
Sound of Music and White Christmas were the other classics.

I'll just show my age here, but before BT, the phones used to be run by the post office, and every christmas there was a number kids could ring every day to hear Santas updates on the run up to christmas.
I don't think they had 'premium' numbers in those days, so it was just an ordinary phone call. But that was what the build up to christmas was about for me, hearing what Santa was up to each day. And then on Christmas eve, he'd be calling as he left on his sleigh... ahhh...the memories
TV programme? This'll sound weird as well, but 'Ski Sunday' always got me in a Christmas mood. Snow, sleighbells, cow bells, and nutters throwing themselves down mountains at 200Kmh, well it made me feel all chrismassy.
