‘A stuffed star is born’: Lidl Bear rises to fame in supermarket’s Christmas advertisement

An unlikely star has been born this festive season as Lidl debuts a fluffy poker-faced character in their new Christmas ad.

The short story follows Lidl Bear's rise to fame, where he is discovered in the supermarket and immediately becomes a global hit.

Lidl Bear is the brand's mascot for their campaign to encourage shoppers to donate gifts to their charitable toy bank initiative.
