A not-so-holly-jolly Christmas for some ...

The PR team at Tesco will be a scratching their heads with confusion after their festive ad was the subject of huge backlash.

Generally, when the big shops start to release their Christmas ads, they're pretty well received, with people getting a hefty dose of the warm fuzzies.

But Tesco's effort has resulted in over 1,000 complaints so far, with people not happy about the Covid reference it makes.

The video show's news reports suggesting Santa could be forced into quarantine as he attempts to travel around the world.

Santa then emerges slowly from the crowd before proudly holding up his vaccine/Covid passport.

That's it, that's the outrage.

Since being uploaded over the weekend the video's amassed 267,000 views.

Not only that, it's been disliked over 29,000 times!

What do you think?
