SHOPPERS were left stunned on Tuesday evening as a blanket of "snow" was dusted on Dublin's famous Grafton Street. The unexpected winter wonderland was part of the Marks & Spencer Christmas offerings launch event which was designed to get everyone in the festive spirit. Marks & Spencer celebrated the launch of its Christmas offering by surprising onlookers with the white stuff coming down on the busy Dublin street.
The retailer took to Instagram to share with its followers the success of the launch event. They wrote: " It's official, Christmas has arrived! "We kicked off the festive season in our Grafton St store with a truly magical evening." Marks & Spencer also thanked its partners who helped make the event a success and Fashion Stylist Catherine Condell, who styled the fashion show for the retailer's fans.
They added: "What a way to get everyone in the festive spirit!" Meanwhile, M&S has also unveiled its Christmas food ad featuring TV comedy legend Dawn French - and it's the first in a six-part series. The retailer is kicking off the festive season with the launch of the video through its social media channels on November 4. The seasonal ad, which The Sun can exclusively reveal for the first time, sees the return of the iconic Fairy, voiced by none other than Dawn French.
And in a plot twist, the much-loved actress is making her on-screen debut in the video, created in-house. The 90-second long ad starts with French walking through a fairy light-bejewelled street before .
