Sorry John Lewis Amazon has won the Christmas advert this year

Maybe I'm biased because I have kids who dance and sing including a daughter who went to ballet school and I know how much they are missing performing.

Not all the Christmas adverts have been seen yet, could well be other contenders.

Tk Maxx win for me 😂 I love a little lighthearted comedy though!

LastGoldenDaysOfSummer · 03/11/2020 12:52

That's me crying.

Why are shut shops advertising?

AriettyHomily · 03/11/2020 12:57

Online sales?

Hannah12345625 · 03/11/2020 12:58

I agree, love it!!

Still hoping JL went with this tongue in cheek Twitter suggestion... 😬

I'm biased too

MrsHuntGeneNotJeremyObviously · 03/11/2020 13:02

That is lovely

CupboardMonsterMash · 03/11/2020 13:04

Lovely!

Tkmaxx is the winner so far for me though, I need a serious dose of lighthearted joy.

peachescariad · 03/11/2020 13:05

Absolutely beautiful, I also have an 18 year old ballerina.

It's about time the arts had some big coverage.

You've missed quite a bit of the 21st century!

That's lovely

Just to say store's still open here in Scotland though, we're not in lockdown.. Yet...

MarshaBradyo · 03/11/2020 13:07

Beautiful. It got me

What a beautiful dancer

movingonup201 · 03/11/2020 13:09

Well I have 2 boys whose closest attempts of dancing are putting on Fortnite dance offs for me, but it still managed to resonate with me...! Lovely ad, I do wonder if we will be sick of them all this year though as I imagine we're going to get the same messages drummed into us over and over!

kittensarecute · 03/11/2020 13:12

I sobbed at the Amazon advert. Missing performing so much it hurts my heart.

ktp100 · 03/11/2020 13:25

Oh God, that's lovely!! Sniff.

SebastianTheCrab · 03/11/2020 13:26

Thanks OP. Crying now. Anyone got a link to the TK Max one?

lobster12 · 03/11/2020 13:31

Very moving. Loved it

Morgan12 · 03/11/2020 13:34

Can't find the JL advert? Clicky link isn't working for me

MustardMitt · 03/11/2020 13:34

As a former ballet dancer, I’m gritting my teeth at the damage those ballet shoes must get on a roof! Grin

Nice advert. Now I know what those crazy torches are for!

MustardMitt · 03/11/2020 13:35

@Morgan12

It’s not a JL ad. It’s an amazon ad on a classic fm article.
PoulePouletteEternellement · 03/11/2020 13:36

I'm assuming the 'snow' on the roof is meant to be fake? Because otherwise ...

(Beautiful advert though ...)

Morgan12 · 03/11/2020 13:36

Ah I see. Thanks.
