Christmas may well be over (sob), but we’re still clinging onto that festive cheer.
In doing so, we stumbled across this heart-warming festive activation from Santander – “The Jenson Button”.
Santander crammed F1 driver and Santander celebrity brand ambassador Jenson Button into an ATM to distribute gifts to customers who thought they were simply testing out a new type of ATM. 
Upon testing the machine, customers were asked to push the “Jenson Button”. After pushing it, the ATM’s screen folded down to reveal Mr Button handing over a gift of £100. He also exited the machine to hand over a special Christmas hamper, explaining he is their “Santander Secret Santa”.
We do love a good pun; the play on word with Button resulted in a great tongue-in-cheek activation from Santander that brought smiles to customers faces this Christmas.
This activation reminds us of Walkers’ twitter-activated vending machine where the brand trapped long-term Brand Ambassador Gary Lineker inside. Other quirky and inspirational vending machine activations we’ve come across include:
