Of all the Christmas adverts, it's John Lewis that everyone waits for.
And the advert - complete with it's new star Snapper the Venus fly trap and a hashtag, #Traditionsgrow - has landed. Complete with a new song called Festa (which means celebration) sung by Andrea Bocelli, the advert has the usual 'heart-string-tugging' elements of family and values, but there is also a deeper message that HR can take from the ad. Yes, really!
The advert begins with a boy asking to buy a seed for a Christmas tree at a flea market. He grows it studiously - with what feels like a nod to ET as the plant grows a small flower under a lamp.
But then, it turns out, this is no regular Christmas tree - it's a Venus Fly Trap, and it doesn't stop growing until it's the height of the ceiling, causing trouble and chaos day and night.
