I’ve looked all over the place. Information I’ve found so far is that the song used in this commercial was DEFINITELY produced in the 70s and used in the 1978 coke Christmas tree commercial and was very very popular in the mid/late 70s. A few people have told me that this particular commercial was in fact produced in the early 80s but the song itself used in this commercial is not. Again. Not saying you’re wrong, just what I’ve learned from a few so far.

Mark,
If you looked it up on Wikipedia you have to know that they are misinformed on numerous topics.I have researched different subjects on there and have found them not to be a reliable source on many.

Question. When I look up info online, I see where they describe the original video being released in 1971 about the hilltop singers and how it became so popular they released a single the next year. It then says Coke later brought back a Christmas commercial in 1983/84. I wonder why they completely leave out info regarding the other versions. No where can I find mention of other Christmas versions even though I found the one your were talking about from 1978, just a xmas tree though.

Mark..The 1978 version is the different version I was talking about earlier.This version was the early 70’s Christmas commercial that aired well into the early 80’s.

Is this the late 70s version you’re talking about? In the search on youtube type these exact words “Coca-Cola Classic ad: Hilltop Christmas (1978)

Joerotty, I know what you’re saying. Yes they used to run the same commercials for years. But the original “1971/72 hilltop commercial wasn’t a Christmas Commercial. The Christmas commercial aired Christmas of both 1983 and 1984. They recalled the commercial from the early 70s, and made a “NEW” Christmas commercial for those 2 seasons. I don’t see why they would have made this commercial in the 70s and never aired it in the 70s but waited until the early 80s, doesn’t make sense to me.

That’s exactly what I’m saying.Back in the 70’s and 80’s commercials used to run for years,especially classic seasonal themed ones.
