There might not have been any Christmas jumpers in the room – but TV3 star Alan Hughes has already started his festive celebrations.
The Ireland AM presenter was joined by husband Karl Broderick at the launch of Aldi’s Xmas range in Smock Alley.

And the 46-year-old was wowed as star performer Gemma Hayes performed her festive track for Aldi’s festive campaign.
She took to the stage with track Making My Way Back from her new album Bones + Longing which will feature on this year’s Christmas TV ad.

Designer Franc – aka Peter Kelly – was in charge of sourcing Xmas trees for the October bash – not an easy task.
He said: “I was thrilled when Aldi asked me to help create Christmas at Smock Alley. It is truly a magical time, although last year as I shopped on Christmas Eve it was less magic, more manic.”
