The first sign that all is not as it seems is when Asda employees begin synchronised skating with trolleys through the store.
Then the shoppers’ shoes are magically replaced by golden ice skates and they’re led on a Christmas adventure.
They go to a school play, featuring a Christmas pudding costume.
The advert, which is set to the soundtrack of ice skating classic Bolero, also features a office Christmas party scene with dancing photocopiers.
Back at home, the family entertain guests and show off platters of Asda’s party food.
At the end they enjoy a traditional Christmas dinner, shining the spotlight on Asda’s 2021 festive food menu.
That includes a chocolate orange bauble and ham and rarebit spoons – we took a look at Asda’s full Christmas menu last month.
