Just in time for the holidays, Healeys – the Cornish cyder masters behind the iconic Cornish Rattler Cyder – have launched a cheeky twist on a classic Christmas ad, bringing a new ‘Cyder is Coming!’ spirit to the festive season.
Featuring a Cornish Father Christmas (dressed in green, naturally, and as a nod to Santa’s original roots) who’s swapped his sleigh for a Rattler-branded lorry loaded with Cornish Cloudy Cyder.
Shot in stunning locations including St Michael’s Mount, Cornwall’s ‘coming home’ trees, Healeys Cyder Farm, and even Perranporth Airfield, this festive spoof is full of local spirit and unexpected laughs.
As the lorry rolls through familiar Cornish backdrops, fans of Rattler from all over the region appear in the ad, cheering the arrival of their beloved cyder.
In a scene already making waves, one dedicated fan watches the Rattler lorry roll by from his window… dressed in nothing but a pair of Rattler-green swimming trunks.
The advert’s light-hearted, festive fun reminds audiences Rattler isn’t just for summer – it’s the perfect festive gift, sure to bring a little extra sparkle (and maybe a chuckle or two) to any celebration.
Partnering with RR Transport, Healeys cleverly infuses the ad with Cornish pride, featuring iconic locations and true fans who answered a callout on Rattler’s social media.
With its tongue-in-cheek tone, the new advert aims to encourage adults to think beyond the typical Christmas tipples and make Cornish Rattler a part of their festive celebrations.
So, as ‘Cyder is Coming’ rolls out across screens, Healeys is raising a glass (of Rattler, of course) to remind adults everywhere that the holiday season is better with a taste of Cornwall in hand.
Who says nothing good ever comes to Cornwall?
