Watch the 2025 John Lewis Christmas advert – video

This year's highly anticipated John Lewis Christmas advert has finally landed, and it promises to be one of the most heartwarming and humorous campaigns yet.

The latest ad features a talented young singer-songwriter, Maisie Peters, alongside her 8-year-old nephew. The video, which clocks in at an impressive six minutes long, takes viewers on a delightful journey through time as they help Maisie's character reminisce about her childhood Christmases past.

As the story unfolds, we're treated to a nostalgic montage of fond memories - from building snowmen and decorating Christmas trees to snuggling up by the fireplace with loved ones. It's a beautifully crafted sequence that tugs at the heartstrings, leaving viewers smiling long after the advert ends.

But what sets this ad apart is its unique twist on the traditional festive formula. Instead of focusing solely on high-end gifts or luxury items, John Lewis instead chooses to showcase the simple joys and pleasures of childhood Christmases. It's a refreshing change from the usual extravagance we see in other adverts, and one that's sure to resonate with viewers of all ages.

Throughout its six-minute runtime, the ad seamlessly blends music, humor, and sentimentality, making it an absolute must-watch for this Christmas season. With Maisie Peters' catchy tune and charming on-screen presence, it's an advert that will leave you feeling merry, bright, and utterly enchanted by the magic of childhood Christmases past.

The advert is set to be broadcast during the John Lewis flagship TV commercial break over Christmas Eve, but for now, it's available to watch online as part of the retailer's festive festivities.
 
🤕 another Christmas ad that's just gonna leave a bunch of people feeling guilty about not being able to afford those super expensive gifts 🤑. and what's up with the "simple joys" thing? like, most kids can't even get a decent winter coat this year... 🥶

🎅️ "You can't start the next chapter of your life if you keep re-reading the last one." But honestly, who needs a new chapter when you've got nostalgic Christmas memories? This John Lewis ad is like a warm hug for my heart 🤗. The way they're showcasing the simple joys of childhood Christmases, it's just so relatable and heartwarming ❤️. I love how they're not trying to sell us fancy gifts or luxury items, but instead focusing on the magic of childhood. It's like they're saying, "Hey, Christmas is about more than just presents" 🎁. And that Maisie Peters song? Pure perfection! 🎶
 
I love the feel-good vibes of this ad 🎄❤️, but I gotta say, 6 minutes feels like a looong time for a Christmas advert 😳. I mean, can't we just get to the good stuff already? 💁‍♀️ Maisie Peters is talented and all, but is it really necessary to drag out the ad for that long? 🤔 Still, I guess it's nice to see a retailer taking a more laid-back approach this year. The nostalgic bits are pretty cute, though 😊. Maybe it's just me, but sometimes less is more when it comes to Christmas adverts 👍
 
just watched john lewis christmas ad and i'm completely sold on this year's version 😊. what i love most about this one is how they're focusing on the little things that make christmas special - like building snowmen or snuggling up by the fireplace. it's so refreshing to see a more low-key approach, especially when most ads are just about over-the-top presents and luxury items 🎁. plus, maisie peters' song is literally stuck in my head now 🎶. i'm already feeling all warm and fuzzy inside, and we're not even into christmas yet 😉!
 
just watched the john lewis xmas ad and i gotta say its really something special 🎄❤️. love how theyve gone for a more nostalgic route this year, reminiscing about childhood christmas memories rather than all the glitz and glamour we usually see. its like they're saying lets focus on what really matters - the simple things that bring us joy during the holidays 😊. plus, Maisie Peters' song is so catchy! 🎵

finally a christmas ad that doesn't make me feel like i'm being sold a timeshare in hawaii 🌴🎄 so it's nice to see john lewis ditching the fancy schmancy gifts and going for something a bit more... wholesome? Maisie Peters is adorable btw, her music isn't my jam but she's got that youthful energy down pat. six minutes long tho? what even is that? are we being trained to sit through 6 minute ads or something? lol anyway, i guess it's nice to see a festive ad that doesn't feel too try-hard 🤗
 
🤕 Another year, another Christmas ad trying to fill our hearts with joy, only to leave us feeling kinda empty on a cold winter's night when the credit card bill comes through 📦😔. I mean, what's really special about some random kid building snowmen? Meanwhile, climate change is still looming over us like a dark cloud ☁️ and global food prices are skyrocketing 🚨. That ad may look cute, but let's not get distracted from the real issues at hand 😒.
 
Wow 🤩! I'm so down for a feel-good ad this Christmas! The fact that they're highlighting the simple joys of childhood Christmases is just perfect.
