Sally rushes to find the right present for her sister Lauren in the heartfelt video
John Lewis has finally unveiled its eagerly awaited Christmas advert for 2024, following the release of two teaser ads. Titled 'The Gifting Hour', the two-minute film centres on a woman's search for the perfect gift for her younger sister.
From there, viewers are taken on a nostalgic journey through her memories with her sister as she races against time to find the perfect gift. The sisters are seen navigating through their life together, from cosy childhood moments on the sofa to teenage squabbles over borrowed clothes, and even witnessing Lauren going into labour with her son.
Franki Goodwin, chief creative officer at Saatchi and Saatchi, said: "We've all been there - time's running out, and you're still looking for the perfect gift for someone in your life who's impossible to shop for. Secondly, since releasing its first Christmas advert in 2007, John Lewis has become known for featuring cover versions of popular songs, such as Lily Allen's rendition of Keane's Somewhere Only We Know in 2013. This year, John Lewis has tapped into the 90s nostalgia trend by featuring Richard Ashcroft's 2021 rendition of The Verve's 1997 hit 'Sonnet' in their Christmas advert.
