Christmas is officially 62 days away which only means one thing - it's almost time for the John Lewis Christmas advert.
For many, Christmas doesn't officially start until the popular retailer unveils its iconic advert for the festive season. The highly anticipated advert is always a topic of conversation and has become a staple of the Christmas calendar.
Last year, we saw a two minute advert titled 'Unexpected Guest' which followed the story of Nathan, a 14-year-old boy who encountered a space traveller named Skye and her ship from another galaxy. Many of us are already speculating what this year's advert will be, which is bound to tug at the heartstrings.

What was the John Lewis Christmas advert in 2021?
Last year, we saw Nathan spark up a friendship with space traveller Skye as Nathan helped her discover the magic of her first Christmas - mince pies and all. We saw Nathan show Skye some of his favourite Christmas moments, from twinkling fairly lights to a festive meal with family and friends.
Their friendship grew, while the pair watched Christmas films and played in the snow, until it was time for Skye to return home after fixing her ship. The bittersweet, heart-warming moment where Nathan gifted her his Christmas jumper (the one he wore when they first met) was definitely a tear-jerker.
As Skye left, she disappeared into the night sky and left a twinkling star on a Christmas tree in the distance. The song chosen for the advert was 'Together In Electric Dreams' by Lola Young, a stripped version of the classic by Phillip Oakley & Giorgio Moroder.
When does the John Lewis Christmas advert for 2022 come out?
Since 2014, the John Lewis Christmas advert has been released in early November, typically between November 7 - 15. It's often revealed early on a Friday morning.
The 2020 advert was released at 7am on November 13 and the 2021 advert was released on November 4 - the same day as Pride of Britain, which is actually this Thursday, October 27.
This could mean that the John Lewis Christmas 2022 advert may air even earlier this year. There's a good chance it could even be on Thursday morning at 6.30am.
What is the song in the John Lewis advert for 2022?
As expected, John Lewis is keeping tight-lipped about what song will feature in the popular advert. It's very rare that anyone guesses correctly, with John Lewis often choosing unique, stripped back covers on classics.
Singers who have featured on John Lewis Christmas adverts in the past include Ellie Goulding, Lily Allen, Tom Odell, Sir Elton John and Lola Young.
