It’s official. James Bachman is Santa Claus.

Fresh from his ‘appearance’ in the latest Assassin’s Creed game, and the current run of That Mitchell And Webb Sound, the ever busy Bachman has donned the big red suit and a power beard to play an incredibly convincing Little Saint Nick in a series of adverts for Windows Tablets.

Detailing the importance of organisation in a modern Christmas, the multi-part ‘adventure’ sees Santa get into full swing with Windows 8 when communication errors mean he almost has to cancel Christmas.

You can see Episode One, and a preview of the whole shebang via the handy links below.

For more info on the campaign, keep an eye on the Windows UK YouTube channel.
