It definitely looks something "simpler" compared to last year
..except that I posted in a way that keeps everything undisclosed, unless someone wants to click on the spoiler. The wording of the link you gave gives everyone info they may not want to see
It reminds me of an ad for Tesco or something like that, it's true
The thing that makes it "more BBC" probably is the "inclusive" gay kiss
Though let's not forget Lloyds Bank had a gay marriage proposal in its ad this year. The BBC isn't breaking new ground in this respect.

I think the promo video is great. It doesn't look very BBC (which is probably why I like it) but is very on trend with what companies do with their Christmas adverts these days - people spending time together, the "John-Lewising" of a well-known song, all that sort of stuff.
Glad they've got 2 fellas kissing, but it kind of feels like they're making a point with it rather than casually dropping it in. It seems to linger on it just a bit too long compared to everything else.
Could the background theme of the 'Christmas TV 2016' website and social media be a clue? I guess it's possible they could go with the 2013 approach, and just use a 'plain and simple' ident.
