It really isn't Christmas in Scotland until you've seen the iconic Snowman Irn-Bru advert, which came
For anyone who isn't familiar with it (er, do you live in a cave on an island with no TV?) the advert is a spoof of the classic Raymond Briggs picture book and follow-up animation "The Snowman", where a little boy befriends a magical snowman, who takes him for a heartwarming flight across the English countryside.
The Irn-Bru version, however, is a lot less heartwarming, but much funnier. The little boy is seen flying above Scottish landmarks like Edinburgh Castle and the Forth Bridge clutching a can of 'Bru.

The song goes: "We're walking in the air, I'm sipping on an Irn-Bru. My chilly snowman mate says he would like some too.
"I tell him get your own. He looks like he is going to cry. I tell him once again, the Irn-Bru is mine.
"I'm falling through the air. I wonder where I'm going to land. He nicked my Irn-Bru and let go of my hand."
At the end of the video, the wee boy lands in a snowdrift in Glasgow's George Square, and it seems like that's where the long-awaited sequel picks up.

The teaser trailer shows him picking himself up and dusting himself off, while looking utterly furious. He then looks up to the sky with a face like thunder, and starts marching to the right, presumably in hot pursuit of the juice-stealing snowman.
How will he catch his nemesis though? He can't fly, after all. Maybe he should have a sip of a well known rival energy drink that gives you wings.
The full advert is being played at 8.45pm tomorrow (Saturday 1 December) on STV and on Irn-Bru's Facebook page so thankfully we don't have too long to wait until we find out the full story.
