CHRISTMAS may be very different for us this year; but one thing remains the same - the John Lewis Christmas advert.
Released today, the advert focuses on the act of giving and kindness with a colourful and heartwarming animation accompanied by the song Give A Little Love, sung by pop star Celeste.
In the video, two children are playing in the snow. The girl opens a red umbrella that turns into a heart shape. This heart shape is echoed throughout the two-minute advert - look out for heart-shaped balloons, binoculars and ever haircuts!
And there are loveable characters too: you will meet Mr Pidge and Spikes the Hedgehog, as they discover the true spirit of Christmas.
A spokesperson for John Lewis said: "We believe that the world would be a better place if we all gave a little more. A little more thought. A little more time. A little more...well...love.
"We're not asking for much. But we're asking it of everyone.
"Because if we all give a little more love, together we can make a big difference."
This Christmas, John Lewis and Waitrose are working with Home-Start and FareShare to help over 100,000 families in need. The charities will use donations from customers to provide food and support for those who need it most.
