First look at John Lewis Christmas advert
Having dropped a brief teaser on Sunday (November 2), the advert will arrive just a couple of days later. It is set to be released today (November 4) on social media and will make its TV debut in due course.
Unsurprisingly, for anyone who watched the clip on social media, a vinyl and record player have a huge role in the advert. It focuses on the relationship between a dad and son.
In the commercial, a dad opens a gift from his teenage son which is revealed to be one of his favourite songs from the 1990s. After putting the record on, he takes a trip back through time and it all gets very nostalgic.
It ends with the dad and son sharing a hug and laughing. Queue the tugged heartstrings.

What is the song in the John Lewis Christmas advert?
No John Lewis Christmas advert would be complete without a signature track, especially not one so focused on music. Fans had speculated from the very brief snippet released over the weekend that it would be Where Love Lives and they were spot on!
Alison Limerick’s 1990s club banger has been given a fresh spin by Labrinth. A vinyl with both the original track and Labrinth’s version will be available with all the profits going to John Lewis Partnership’s Building Happier Futures programme.
