The festive Bublé will delight mums everywhere as he takes the lead role in the full 90-second advert, which will air on November 4.

The ad, created by Havas London, the same agency behind Asda’s Elf adaptation last year, will be shown this morning during ITV’s Good Morning Britain.

The ad shows Asda colleagues in a break room mid-shift, when they hear a strange ‘gurgling’ sound. They follow it through a magical festive warehouse until they reach a door marked ‘MB inside. Do not open ‘til 1.11.23’.

When they open the door, they see a figure in the spotlight: it’s Bublé, who sings ‘It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas’.

Asda chief customer officer David Hills said: “At Asda, we absolutely love Christmas and this year we’re once again on a mission to bring that warm, festive feeling to households across the UK.
