Michael Bublé stars in Asda's Christmas advert shot by Taika Waititi
Asda has unveiled its Christmas TV advert for this year, and it features none other than global superstar Michael Bublé.
Shot by Oscar-winning filmmaker Taika Waititi, the much-anticipated TV advert sees the Canadian singer songwriter acting as Asda's chief quality control officer, sampling and selecting from their seasonal selection.
Full of trademark Bublé charm and charisma, the witty advert ends with him joining a Christmas choir to sing a heartfelt final crescendo of Walking in a Winter Wonderland.
Those of us who keenly follow the Christmas adverts may spot the subtle nod to last year's, where Buddy the Elf polishes off a tray of sweet samples – when Bublé tastes a selection of pigs in blankets, he rejects the maple-covered ones as 'so last year'.
Discussing the advert, Bublé remarked: 'I love my relationship with the UK and I'm the biggest fan of Christmas...it was an honour to be asked to star in Asda's Christmas advert'. He also mentioned how much he enjoyed tasting Asda's festive treats, including tempura prawns, truffle and parmesan pigs in blankets and chocolate and orange panettone.
To celebrate the launch, Asda is inviting the public to visit a 20-foot tall Bublé-themed Christmas tree on 16th November at King's Cross station. Powered by song, the tree will dance and light up by members of the public who are brave enough to take the stage and sing in front of it.
