Value retailer TK Maxx said it has launched the first ever Christmas campaign in the UK to deliver real snow for free to customers’ homes.

The Christmas Campaign will see a limited number of bespoke, two-foot-long ‘White Christmas’ snow globes hidden on the shelves of TK Maxx stores nationwide over the coming Christmas weeks.

The lucky shoppers who find the exclusive snow globes will receive a delivery of actual snow to their homes or any other location of their choosing. A team of TK Maxx experts will then transform the place into a winter wonderland, where families can have snowball fights, build a snowman and enjoy Christmas.

“Our aim was to do something much more exciting than just the traditional Christmas TV ad, said Deborah Dolce, Group Brand & Marketing Director, at TK Maxx. “We wanted to create a real, magical experience for our shoppers, one that’s great fun and in which everyone has a chance to participate.”

The snow globes will be hidden in stores and online from 17 November. And the campaign is supported by a TV ad, voiced by English actor Bill Nighy. Set to a re-recorded festive version of pop-rock band Pilot's 1975 hit, Magic, the advert shows a family filled with excitement as a team of TK Maxx snow experts arrive to cover their house and garden in snow, after a grandfather gifts his granddaughter the ‘White Christmas’ snow globe.
