Asda has unveiled its new Christmas advertising campaign, featuring a team of animated garden gnomes on a festive mission.
The charming adventure is set to premiere on television during Coronation Street on ITV, November 6 at 8:15 pm.
The campaign introduces five hero gnomes - Max, Gnibbles, Gnorma, Gnicky, and Gnarla - who come to life in a snowstorm to help Asda colleagues prepare their store for the holiday season.
The ad, created over seven months using more than 3,000 hours of animated footage, is set to the iconic theme of "The A-Team".

From November 7, customers can purchase the five hero gnomes alongside Asda's popular Mrs Claus gnome.
These collectable characters will be on shelves nationwide, alongside Asda's festive product range including more than 540 items.
The festive selection features award-winning Exceptional mince pies at £2.50 and party penguin bao buns at £3.50.
