IT may be the fourth heatwave in the UK – but it’s already beginning to look a lot like Christmas in one village.
While millions of Brits have been flooding to beaches to make the most out of the glorious sunshine, a leafy town in Hertfordshire has been turned into Winter Wonderland .
One sleepy village has already been turned into Winter Wonderland
Chloe Granger, a local resident, shared snaps of the festive makeover on TikTok
According to Chloe, the popular supermarket M&S was filming their Christmas ad in her village – during the fourth heatwave of 2025
According to the locals, Marks & Spencer is currently working on their much-anticipated Christmas ad , which last year featured TV comedy legend Dawn French .
The retailer kicked off the festive season with the launch of the video through its social media channels at 9am last November.
But while fans still have a while to wait to see the final masterpiece starring Aimee Lou , one local, Chloe Granger, recently shared snaps of her hometown following the festive makeover – so, do you recognise it?
Outside the local pub , the popular supermarket had placed several Christmas trees and a huge, rich green garland upon the entrance.
The whole street was also covered in fake snow – and the light sky indeed gave it that crispy winter morning feel.
The rest of the picturesque buildings, she shared in the video , also featured a variety of ”cute” decorations to fit the theme.
”Fake snow lining the streets! If only it actually looked like this in winter,” chuckled Chloe who posts under the username @ itschloegranger .
After strolling down the local street, the resident said she was inspired by the decorations – despite it being one of the hottest weeks of the year.
”It looks so festive, walking around really got me in the mood for Christmas , even though this was happening in the middle of a heatwave.
”Can’t wait to see the ad!”
Chloe – who lives in Hatfield – also shared a hilarious snap where TikTok users could see people walking around topless and in shorts, which made for a rather bizarre contrast.
”It definitely took a sec for my brain to make sense of what I was seeing,” she chuckled.
Chloe added she was ”very ready for the festive season and cooler weather now”.
The jaw-dropping transformation of the sleepy town has since taken the platform by storm, racking up close to 570k views in just one day.
As almost 45k people gave it a like, more than 190 flooded to comments, where one said: ”It’s making me crave winter so much.”
Another chuckled: ”I’d be saying you can use my house as long as i can keep the decorations you put up.”
A third was stunned, writing: ”It’s actually mental how these photos make it look like a crispy winter morning at sunrise.”
Someone else chimed in: ”Imagine how hot any actors feel, having to walk down the street in winter clothes, when it’s 30 degrees outside.”
TikTok users were in hysterics after spotting topless people strolling around in fake snow
