The economic crisis is forcing cava maker Freixenet to run a repeat of their holiday season ad campaign.  
  
2008's holiday campaign featured the Spanish synchronized swimming team dressed in gold and splashing in a pool of cava to a flamenco beat. The advertisement will run again this year.  
  
Freixenet's holiday ad campaigns have traditionally been high-profiled affairs featuring big name directors and a combination of Spanish and Hollywood movie stars.  
  
Past campaigns have featured Sharon Stone with Antonio Banderas:
