The time has finally come - the John Lewis 2023 Christmas advert has landed, and it's officially time to start the festive countdown. Every year, the retailer releases their advert for the holidays - and every year, they make us sob. Whether it's a dad learning to skateboard, a dog living his best life on a trampoline or the original little boy counting down the days to give his parents a present, there's a reason that the John Lewis adverts make us cry - they're guaranteed to be heartwarming.
But this year, the John Lewis Christmas advert has taken a different direction. While there's definitely at least one moment that'll make you pull a sad face, it's a joyful play on festive traditions with a theme tune that is less tearjerker and more foot-tapper.
