ITV : Christmas 2013 to 2018

ITV launched its Christmas idents at 8.15pm on Saturday 7th December 2013. The set of idents were supplemented by additional idents in 2014, along with snowflakes added to the channel's trailers. All the idents (except the Thunderbirds special) returned on 1st December 2015, 3rd December 2016, and again on both 1st December 2017 and 2018. For 2017, the trailers followed the style introduced in February, but with an icy background.

This ident of a bulldog by a fire was added in 2014. By 2016, the music had been changed to a slower-paced piece, yet in 2017 the original music returned.
