    Our adverts often have a running story line. I feel like a lot of the USA adverts just bombard you and its sell sell sell, in the UK they try to be emotive instead. Christmas adverts are amazing.
    Also as a side note, foxes do actually seem to love playing on trampolines - we've spotted them on ours a fair few times! We live by a nature reserve and have regular visits.

    The differences between the European badger and the US badger has been described as:
    The European badger looks like a nice guy who would invite you into his cozy home and offer you tea & cake. The US badger has a knife and is waiting for you in an alley so he can rob you for meth money.
    Ours are definitely a more sociable lot, with each other anyway, living in family groups.

    Two things that need clearing up. We do sometimes have hot weather, and we have various size gardens. Added to this, the animal was a Badger and although they are cute and shy they can also be aggressive if conered. The old man was to signify the Man On The Moon which is an expression/tale that we have over here. If you look at the moon it can look a bit like a face so that is where this came from. I hope that helps a bit? x

    John Lewis adverts were about love. We had some brilliant adverts. I used to work for John Lewis and we would spend millions on our Christmas adverts. The songs in the adverts were hits in their own right. Monty the Boxer dog cost £8M. The most expensive one featured Elton John which was the worst advert. The best one was when they joined their sister company Waitrose and had Edgar the Dragon in 2019. Hell for us in the stores when they ran out of merchandise.

    It is so lovely watching someone who is totally unfamiliar with our ‘tradition’ of Christmas adverts start to get the story. When you realised that the penguins were plush the whole time was just adorable and like you said, wholesome. The whole monty the penguin thing was because they then sold the plush in the store.
    It was a badger in the trampoline advert :-)
    John Lewis is a big department store here. Quite a few of the bigger brands/supermarkets spend a lot of money on their Christmas campaigns but usually the John Lewis one is the most popular each year. It’s never really about a specific product but more the brand and how they can give you a wonderful Christmas because they are so wholesome etc.

    We absolutely hate Black Friday here now. It exploded the first time it came here just a few short years ago and we thought the scenes on our streets and shops were absolutely appalling, so after that all stores massively scaled back their Black Friday promotions, with many of them dropping it all together. We don’t want a repeat of the scenes that happen in America, as we don’t want to be seen as big a capitalist country in its more unhealthy obsession as many in the US. There are talks actually that we may just drop it all together, and just stick to the regular Christmas reduction deals.
    BTW, the black-and-white animal in the last advert was a Badger. They are one of the top three most iconic animals to see in a British garden and countryside at night. Right next to the Fox and the Hedgehog.
    And yeah, without a doubt John Lewis does some of the best Christmas adverts in the UK ever.

    That critter is a badger. They are a close relative of the weasle, otter and wolverine. They are nocternal, shy and very tough for their size. They live in extended families in large underground burrows called badger sets. A lot of childrens books and cartoons set in england with animals as the main characters use badgers; like wind in the willows (pro tip; do not look up animals of farthing wood) Farmers do not like them because they can spread bovine TB.

      Badgers can get TB but when they did a controlled badger cull a few years ago around a dairy farm, not a single badger tested positive for TB. Badgers are not the wide scale TB carriers they thought they were decades ago.
