Commercial outlet is coming (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

advent

'coming' is the definition.
('advent' can be a synonym of 'coming')

'commercial outlet' is the wordplay.
'commercial' becomes 'ad'.
'outlet' becomes 'vent' (I've seen this before).
'ad'+'vent'='ADVENT'

'is' is the link.

(Other definitions for advent that I've seen before include "The coming of a religous period?" , "when the Church year begins" , "Arrival (with calendar?)" , "when the Christmas shopping has to be done?" , "Pre-Christmas period" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
