Eh, the House of Fraser Christmas ad is hella sinister

It also features a "sexy" Santa, an EDM remix of The Delfonics/The Fugees' 'Ready or Not' and a weird attempt at 3D that kind of works but also creeps us out.

House of Fraser's tagline for their 2016 Christmas campaign is 'Christmas is Coming for You' which feels much more Freddy Krueger than Santa Claus, especially when combined with the sparse pointy woods, creeping hands and weird smoke effects.

The company say that "each scene avoids festive clichés and is underpinned by a sense of excitement and an abundance of style" but we're more disturbed than excited.

It's basically everything wrong with 2016 condensed into one 80-second advert.
