Favourite John Lewis Christmas Ad?

[autumnnightsaredrawingin]

I know IANU to mention Christmas in October.

But which John Lewis Christmas ad over the tears has been your favourite?or do you think they’re all rubbish

Mine has got to be ‘The Long Wait’ (2011) followed by ‘The man on the Moon’ (2015).

The penguins got me. They were toys all along 😭

The penguin, snow man and man in the moon get me every time. We lost a dear relative today and I thought I couldn't cry anymore, but here we are!

The Long Wait is mine. Still makes me tear up a bit when I look it up on YouTube

Monty the penguin.

Horny penguins. Still have the cushions!

Pretty much hated them all, and can't understand why people go all gooey about them - they are adverts (that are usually on for waaaay too long in the lead up to Christmas). Thank god for sky and being able to speed through them 👍

And, yeah, loved the stroppy teen boots one.

Just remembered - not a Christmas one but loved the “Tiny Dancer” JL home insurance one 😁

My favourites are Monty the Penguin and The Hare & The Bear. Both ads bring a tear to my eye years later.
Also like Mr & Mrs Snowman too.

All about MOG for Me. The only advert that has ever made me cry.

The Bear and the Hare. Then penguins
The long wait didn’t do anything for me tbh.

For the story I love Monty the Penguin. Gets me teary every time.
For the music I love Ellie Goulding - your song, Lily Allen, and the man in the moon.

You're making me want to watch them but they all make me cry and being pregnant, I'm not sure I could actually recover myself!

The Bear and the Hare is my favourite. I also loved the Sainsbury's WW1 ad. M&S's Paddington Bear last year was lovely. And a few years ago M&S did an amazing fairytale ad with Rosie Huntington-Whitely and David Gandy.

Who am I kidding?!? I love them all!

The Bear and the Hare.

It was my greyhound's first Christmas with us - after 5 years in kennels. It started with the words 'There was once an animal that had never seen Christmas' and it really really upset me.

Welling up now thinking about it. Silly I know.

Penguins. Then bear and hare. I didn't much like mog tbh.

Buster the Boxer. Love. Love. Love.

The long wait is far and away my favourite, makes me cry every time!

Yabvu. Christmas is marketing shit.
If you aren't religious but like Christmas crack on and get roped in to spending a fortune.
If you are religious it's only October. You have all saints and souls day to go yet
Don't forget trick or treat first
I am the most bah humbug person I know

Hey Monty at least you're named after a JL advert

Bear and the hare. My twins were 18m I remember so when it came out and I remember DD2 learning "bear" just so she could ask for it: "beah mummy. Moah beah. MOAH BEAH." Super cute.

I didn't like many of them, I've hated all the messed up song versions. I liked the boxer ad, can't remember who's it was though!

Which is The Long Wait?

The one which follows a little girl through her life, walking round the same house, always in a red dress. It starts with her in a cot, and ends up with her arms an old jars wurg her family all around her. I thought it was very clever.

Bear and Hare by a country mile.

The Long Wait is superb.

The bear and the hare does nothing for me. The trampoline one made me itch - it’s a new trampoline! Let the child use it first! That hedgehog probably has fleas!

The Long Wait makes me tear up every time...
