Oh stop being a Grinch 😂 This is loads better than the JL one and music by James…..it’s a win for me.

Starseeking · 12/11/2025 10:45

I absolutely love it (then again, Love Actually is my favourite Christmas film so 🤷‍♀️)

TheDutchHouse · 12/11/2025 10:59

Absolutely love Joe anyway so maybe a little biased but I think it’s fab , so much better than dad dancing vinyl man !!

Moochuck · 12/11/2025 11:01

I actually dont like the JL one as makes me think the dad resents his kid for not being able to go clubbing anymore.

Hate the Keira one because again its a gorgeous woman plus sad bloke who we are meant to think is so lucky to have her. Never the other way round!

Love James though.

I love it but then I love Keira and I really flipping love Joe. Who cares about the schmultz when it’s this lovely.

I don’t even like Christmas (horrible family and I spend it alone every other year).

Pancakeflipper · 12/11/2025 11:54

I've not seen it but heard Joe W is in it so I love it. Totally unhelpful post.

ninjahamster · 12/11/2025 11:56

I saw it this morning. My favourite this year, total cheese fest and made me smile!

So much better than the JL one and the endless character ones - BFG, The Grinch etc.

AllTheWatersTurnedToClouds · 12/11/2025 11:57

just watched it - it’s lovely

cheesy (literally) but had a great Christmassy feel

ReignOfError · 12/11/2025 12:00

I like it - it made me laugh. Admittedly, I watched it without sound so maybe that helped.

ReignOfError · 12/11/2025 12:06

Bugger. I saw a different, shorter version that was better.

BishyBarnyBee · 12/11/2025 12:06

It irritated me a bit - beautiful woman approached by random scruffy man in the supermarket, that's never going to end well. But then I remembered the Catherine Tate/Daniel Craig Comic Relief sketch which is basically the same joke and was hilarious. And yes, Joe is adorable.

MoominMai · 12/11/2025 12:25

Two of my favourite celebs in a Xmas advert - what could possibly go wrong?! Nothing it would seem! A really sweet and silly advert that’s doesn’t try too hard either which is why it works so well and of course Keira and Joe are just adorable in it. And you know that Joe’s going to be dining out on that kiss for years to come - even if it was acting haha!

DarlingCoffee · 12/11/2025 12:28

I loved it. My favourite of the year so far - very wholesome and feel good. Love the coupling of Keira and Joe and the song choice.

ithinkilikethislittlelife · 12/11/2025 12:31

I really enjoyed it but John Lewis has won Christmas for me so far. I bloody love it.

Didntask · 12/11/2025 12:34

I've just watched it. It's adorable! Very cheesy and festive. Keira is sooooo beautiful. That woman has a portrait in an attic somewhere.

TorroFerney · 12/11/2025 12:35

If it’s got music by James then it’s going to be superior !

apremoiledeluge · 12/11/2025 12:41

I want an 'I love you' pie delivered by Joe W !!

Fairyliz · 12/11/2025 12:51

Just watched it so I can reply op and I loved it.
Nice to see an advert that’s not about people suffering cancer/heart problems/ dementia or children starving or animals dying.
Yes I know those things are happening in the world but it’s nice to forget sometimes.

Didshejustsaythatoutloud · 12/11/2025 12:51

If it's got KK in it, i would turn over anyway, she gives me the willies 😱

HangerLaneGyratorySystem · 12/11/2025 12:56

Aw I love Joe Wilkinson, I think KK would be bloody lucky to have him in RL regardless of what she looks like!

Puppylucky · 12/11/2025 12:58

Wait till you see the Tesco ones ( if you haven't already) they are genuinely hilarious and really capture Christmas in all it's messy glory!

Banaghergirl · 12/11/2025 13:00

Thanks to this thread I've just watched it, absolutely brilliant, I love it!

Let’s form an orderly queue 😀

I think all of the posters who have started all of the miserable, hectoring threads about Christmas adverts like this one need to get together and make the most perfect, representative, clever and market savvy advert. Because nobody else can make one that makes them happy, clearly.

Joy sucking at its finest OP, nice work.

Oof, that’s a bit harsh lol! Although I agree with most on the thread, it’s my fave Christmas ad so far, Joe Wilkinson is just lovely and I reckon he could easily attract the likes of Kiera K.
