1) Miracle on 34th Street: The scenes of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade are actually taken from the 1946 parade. The movie is credited with bringing the traditional parade to the national spotlight, and Macy’s employees were given half a day off so they could see the first showing of the movie.

The world has literally gone crazy for kitsch, Cheesy Christmas Jumpers (or ugly jumpers as some people like to call them).

We have been hooked ever since Colin Firth fashioned a rather fetching Reindeer Jumper in Bridget Jones Diary, but it doesn't end or even begin there.

Ever since grannies decided to take up knitting needles, keeping themselves busy with increasingly intricate, vivid, sparkly and even 3D, festive woolen fantasies, people have been either proudly flaunting this festive fashion or begrudgingly obliged to wear it at family functions.

If it seems all too familiar, you will probably recognise the deliberate fashion faux-pas from some of your favourite movies and TV shows. Remember these?

With all the recent hype surrounding the Coca-Cola advert, it's not only our Holidays are Coming jumpers which are flying off the shelves! We also have a whole range of Coca-Cola goodies for your home - and cool gifts you just can't say no to! Ever since The Coca‑Cola Company first sponsored a TV show on a US network back in 1950, their advertising has appeared on television screens around the globe in many different, often memorable forms – from the festive red trucks of Holidays are Coming to the group of hilltop singers in the 1971 hit, I'd like to buy the World a Coke! Every one is met with stupid amounts of excitement - and who could blame us? If Santa loves Coca-Cola it must be good.

We have loads of Coca-Cola t-shirts, but what else do we have 'in store' for you?
