Remember the cute blonde girl from the Kellogg’s cereal Christmas ads? Here’s what she looks like now

The adorable toddler, played by twins Holly and Alex Stapley, became famous for stealing Santa's catchphrase

BEFORE John Lewis started flying the flag for Christmas adverts, you knew the holidays were approaching when the Kellogg's commercial came on the box.

Who didn't coo over that adorable golden-haired toddler who greeted Santa with a 'ho ho ho' when he arrived at her house and tucked into some cornflakes?

The ad first aired in 1991 and featured three children who opted for the "unorthodox" approach of leaving a bowl of cereal out for old St Nick.

The trio then fell asleep while waiting for him to arrive - but the little blonde girl woke up to the sound of his sleigh bells and caught him munching away.

To buy her silence, Santa offered her his cornflakes, which the little girl took with a cheeky grin.

But whatever happened to the actress who played the angelic tot?

Turns out there were actually two twin girls who took on the role - Holly and Alex Stapley.

Both sisters went on to star in a few TV shows, including a series called Twice In A Lifetime.

They also landed the role of Angelica in 1992 film Baby on Board.

In 2004, Alex (or Alexandra as she is now known professionally) played Taylor Wedell in hit chick flick Mean Girls.

Both girls have now waved their acting careers goodbye - Holly is a nurse while Alexandra works in marketing.

If that doesn't already make you feel old, Holly is now married and mum to a little girl.
