M&S filmed their Xmas ad in my village during the August heatwave.. the pub never looked so good, do you recognise it?
Scroll down to see the snap which has left eagle-eyed viewers in hysterics YULE LOVE IT M&S filmed their Xmas ad in my village during the August heatwave.. the pub never looked so good, do you recognise it? Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) IT may be the fourth heatwave in the UK - but it's already beginning to look a lot like Christmas in one village. While millions of Brits have been flooding to beaches to make the most out of the glorious sunshine, a leafy town in Hertfordshire has been turned into Winter Wonderland. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 One sleepy village has already been turned into Winter Wonderland Credit: instagram/@itschloegranger 4 Chloe Granger, a local resident, shared snaps of the festive makeover on TikTok Credit: instagram/@itschloegranger 4 According to Chloe, the popular supermarket M&S was filming their Christmas ad in her village - during the fourth heatwave of 2025 Credit: instagram/@itschloegranger According to the locals, Marks & Spencer is currently working on their much-anticipated Christmas ad, which last year featured TV comedy legend Dawn French. The retailer kicked off the festive season with the launch of the video through its social media channels at 9am last November. But while fans still have a while to wait to see the final masterpiece starring Aimee Lou, one local, Chloe Granger, recently shared snaps of her hometown following the festive makeover - so, do you recognise it? Outside the local pub, the popular supermarket had placed several Christmas trees and a huge, rich green garland upon the entrance. The whole street was also covered in fake snow - and the light sky indeed gave it that crispy winter morning feel. The rest of the picturesque buildings, she shared in the video, also featured a variety of ''cute'' decorations to fit the theme. ''Fake snow lining the streets! If only it actually looked like this in winter,'' chuckled Chloe who posts under the username @itschloegranger. After strolling down the local street, the resident said she was inspired by the decorations - despite it being one of the hottest weeks of the year. ''It looks so festive, walking around really got me in the mood for Christmas, even though this was happening in the middle of a heatwave. ''Can't wait to see the ad!'' M&S reveals SIX different Christmas food adverts featuring comedy legend and music star Chloe - who lives in Hatfield - also shared a hilarious snap where TikTok users could see people walking around topless and in shorts, which made for a rather bizarre contrast. ''It definitely took a sec for my brain to make sense of what I was seeing,'' she chuckled. Chloe added she was ''very ready for the festive season and cooler weather now''. The jaw-dropping transformation of the sleepy town has since taken the platform by storm, racking up close to 570k views in just one day. As almost 45k people gave it a like, more than 190 flooded to comments, where one said: ''It's making me crave winter so much.'' Another chuckled: ''I'd be saying you can use my house as long as i can keep the decorations you put up.'' A third was stunned, writing: ''It's actually mental how these photos make it look like a crispy winter morning at sunrise.'' Someone else chimed in: ''Imagine how hot any actors feel, having to walk down the street in winter clothes, when it's 30 degrees outside.''

And money is no issue for a lot of these couples - with some spending hundreds or thousands on the event. Read on for some of the most expensive gender reveals in history. Ste Hamilton Wealthy property tycoon and YouTuber Ste Hamilton decided to gift his wife-to-be Isabella Rowles with a £300,000 Lamborghini, which would be in either pink or blue to reflect their baby's gender. Steven and Isabella and friends and family attended an extravagant event at the Belfry Hotel and Resort near Birmingham to find out they were having a baby boy. "It was worth every second of the hard work to see the happiness in everyone's faces on the day," Ste said, after spending a further £40,000 on the big reveal.

A wrestler in pink trunks took on one in blue, with the one in pink emerging victorious - signifying that they are having a baby girl. Inga Stumbriene The Lithuanian influencer hired planes to fly in the sky as she, her fiance and their nearest and dearest watched. The planes dropped a load of blue confetti - revealing the pair were having a boy - but people insisted it was the "most polluted" gender reveal ever. Anonymous couple One of the most recent jaw-dropping gender reveals happened in May 2024, when a couple decided to DYE a waterfall to reveal if they were having a boy or girl. After the videos circulated on the social media, the public demanded for the couple to be punished, with some suggesting they should go to jail. Others were concerned about water contamination, as the pair had used a powdered chemical known as "Blue Lagoon" into the Queima-Pe River, which feeds the waterfall. Meanwhile a fourth said: "Wait.. Did she just punch the cake??" ""Girl, I'm so sorry for your situation with the gender reveal, but this video accompanied by this comment section is my favourite thing on this app,' claimed a fifth Someone else added: "As sad as you looked, this was the funniest gender reveal ever."
