Looks like Granada put that promo together, judging by the presence of Jim Pope on V/O duties there.
The animation is technically impressive for a) 1973 and b) Granada. The "Christmas on" text uses a Scanimate for the animation: that was an early electronic effects device used A LOT by the US networks in the 70s. Granada Reports made its debut in 1973 and I think their titles used Scanimate as well.
