The John Lewis 2017 Christmas Commercial Is Here
Every year, a holiday ad is released that makes millions of people reach for a tissue and wonder how a two-minute clip could make them feel emotions they didn't even know they had. Thehighly anticipated John Lewis Christmas commercials are especially notorious for reducing viewers to puddles of tears. In the past, the department store chain has released a series of gut-punching campaigns, from the tale of a lonely man on the moon to last season's bouncy dog Buster. The holidays are upon us once again, so strap in folks-because the latest ad is finally here.
This year's clip, starring a surprisingly adorable monster named Moz, may not be the tear-jerker you were expecting-but it still pulls out all the stops to warm your heart just in time for Christmas. Press play and prepare to feel all the feels.
"This year's Christmas campaign brings to life the power of children's imaginations and the joy of great friendships," said John Lewis's customer director, Craig Inglis. "Moz and Joe's story is magical and heartwarming."
The sweet soundtrack to the ad is a classic Beatles song, Golden Slumbers, that's been re-recorded by rock band Elbow.
Since the campaign was released this morning, it has racked up almost a million views-so rest assured you're not the only one watching it twice for another round of warm and fuzzy feelings.
