Like clockwork, you can guarantee many will be in floods of tears the second the new John Lewis Christmas advert 2021 drops.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s that time of the year when retailers put out their festive ads and as we eagerly await the new John Lewis advert, we thought it was high time we ranked everything that\u2019s been \u2013 all 14 of them.<\/p>\n
So, without further ado, here\u2019s\u00a0the<\/em> definitive list of all the John Lewis Christmas adverts. Ranked.<\/p>\n Cast your minds back 14 years and you might just remember Shadows. A sweet and snappy advert which showcased plenty of John Lewis\u2019 gift range in the form of silhouetting. Who would have thought a coffee machine and a feather boa could make a pretty convincing dog? Well, maybe Britain\u2019s Got Talent winners, Attraction\u2026 A far cry from the tear-jerking emotion-fests we\u2019re used to, but pretty punchy nevertheless.<\/p> In at number 13, this is really the advert that started them all. This was the first to feature a dramatic cover while a cute sentimental scene played out on screen. This time, to the tune of Sweet Child o\u2019 Mine, kids open presents typically given to adults, prompting us all to \u201cremember how Christmas used to feel\u201d. Ahh.<\/p>\n Another one from the-before-times in at 12, with Clues, a cutesy advert with puns at the heart of it. With a cover of The Beatles\u2019 From Me to You at the heart of the advert, we met different characters and got a snapshot of their perfect presents \u2013 a tired man wanted a coffee machine, and so on. If only gifting really was that simple, eh?<\/p>\n Happy boxer dog, Buster, just wants to play. When he sees foxes and a badger among the myriad of animals playing on a young girl\u2019s trampoline she isn\u2019t allowed until Christmas Day, Buster has one thing on his mind. As she runs out to play on her new toy, she\u2019s beaten by the pup, who just wanted a bounce. Vaults provided a cover of One Day I\u2019ll Fly Away for this pretty cute advert. The only problem \u2013 not really the most festive, was it? And the poor girl had to wait even longer for her present.<\/p>\n Look, we love Elton John as much as everyone else, so it was a real treat to see him appear on John Lewis\u2019 2018 Christmas advert. But again, like our Buster above, it felt like more of an advert for Elt\u2019s autobiography (which is great, would recommend) or his latest single, than a festive ad. A cool advert with some really swish effect, just needed more Christmas, to be honest.<\/p>\n14. Shadows (2007)<\/strong><\/h2>\n
