WATCH: John Lewis Christmas advert sees Venus flytrap cause mischief for young boy
ok.co.ukThis year, John Lewis' Christmas advert centres around a young boy who wants to grow his own Christmas tree - but not everything is as it seems.
The tree turns out to be a mischievous Venus flytrap which causes chaos for the family. Viewers will see how the boy lovingly nurtures the plant from a seed bought at a local market, in the belief he is cultivating a perfect Christmas tree.The fast-growing plant becomes an equally big personality who wants to join in all the fun of Christmas, before the inevitable tear-jerking moment when he is cast out into the cold to make way for a traditional tree.
However, the boy is determined for Snapper to have a place in the celebrations, which soon sees him back in the fold, as the ad ends with the strapline 'Let your traditions grow'.
The soundtrack for the John Lewis advert is always highly-anticipated as it's often a cover song. However, this year, Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli performs an original track with Italian electro-pop duo Le Feste Antonacci.The ad's soundtrack is called 'Festa' - which means celebration - and will be released in longer form as a charity single.
