Halloween is over, which can surely only mean one thing \u2013 Christmas is coming, Mariah Carey and Michael Bubl\u00e9 are defrosting as we speak and the John Lewis Christmas advert will be unveiled any day now.<\/p>\n

The department store\u2019s annual adverts have been a tradition in British culture since they began in 2007, and have seen the nation tear up over excitable dragons, a young Elton John and even the monster under the bed.<\/p>\n

They\u2019ve had stiff competition in recent years from the likes of Sainsbury\u2019s, Marks & Spencer and even McDonald\u2019s \u2013 but we\u2019re sure John Lewis\u2019s usual mix of a slowed-down cover song and an emotional climax will still mark the official start of Christmas.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s everything we know about the John Lewis Christmas Advert 2021.<\/p>

When is the John Lewis Christmas Advert 2021 released?<\/h2>\n
The John Lewis Christmas advert is usually released on a Thursday or Friday in mid-November, with last year\u2019s community-inspired tale released on 13th November.<\/p>\n
However, Christmas may come early for John Lewis fans this year, as several clues have appeared in UK cities teasing some sort of reveal on Thursday 4th November.<\/p>\n
