The D&AD Ad-vent Calendar
Once again Noddy Holder proclaims 'It's Christmas' and who are we to argue?
What better way to count down the days than with our Ad-vent (see what we did there?) Calendar, showcasing some of the various christmas-themed entries we've honoured over the years. Check back every day (except Sundays, sorry) for the latest entry.
Thursday 23 December: Are you sure the person fiddling with your presents is really Santa? Here's a handy guide.
Wednesday 22nd December: A great piece of Christmas-themed branding for Volkswagen
Tuesday 21 December: The kiss-mass Tree - ever tried using your lips as a lightswitch?
Monday 20 December: The story of a brave turkey who managed to escape the Christmas cull. Written on tinfoil, which presumably just rubs it in the face of the turkey you're about to cook...
Saturday 18 December: Proof that Santa exists. And, apparently, is a bit Urban.
