John Lewis' 2024 Christmas advert leaves viewers sobbing at tale of two sisters through the ages

This year's John Lewis Christmas advert is all about the beautiful bond between two sisters. A stark contrast to 2023's star, Snapper Venus flytrap, the department store has decided to keep it simple and focus on the relationship between family.

Leaving viewers emotional, the highly-anticipated advert - which follows on from the release of Lidl and M&S' adverts - is heartwarming yet simple.

It begins with Sally rushing into the department store in a frantic search for the perfect gift for her sister. As she sifts through a rack of dresses, she falls into a whirlwind of memories of their life together, in a style that resembles The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.

She navigates through various rooms in her childhood home and special places, searching for the perfect present within her memories.
