Hasta La Motion!

Aldi UK is running “Endless Table”, a Christmas advert splicing together Christmas Day diners from across the world. The advert opens with a family enjoying Christmas food around a table, then seamlessly links to other groups of people around the globe enjoying food and drink available from Aldi. It also features a cameo from Jean Jones, the pensioner from Darlington who has starred in a number of commercials for Aldi including the Gin adverts and the 2011 Tea Commercial. Jools Holland makes his appearance towards the end of the advert playing his music on a black grand piano, accompanied by his band. “Whether it’s our award-winning products, everyday low prices or full range of Christmas food, drink and gifts, everyone’s coming to Aldi this Christmas.”
