Do you absolutely love a Christmas advert? We will be updating this our Christmas advert feature with all of the sweet, funniest and most random promos of 2022 - so stay tuned and tell us your favourite one!

John Lewis

John Lewis' Christmas adverts are famously good and making you sob your heart out, and 2022's offering is no different. The story follows a man diligently learning how to skateboard, resulting in plenty of near falls before he slowly begins to improve, even going to the skating park to try it out at night. In the final moments of the trailer, it is revealed that he has been practising because his new foster child is a keen skateboarder - and the pair immediately bond over their shared interest. And we're crying again. 

Lush 

Meet the Lord of Misrule for Lush’s new winter campaign, who is focused on disrupting the norm to enable nature to flourish. The Lord of Misrule short film is another collaboration with FeralChild and is all about the customer favourite product range - will you be replenishing your shelves with the Lord of Misrule this winter season?

Morrisons

Morrisons' sweet ad follows Farmer Christmas as he travels on his special tractor to his workshop to meet Morrisons 'elves’! We see how the bakers create mince pies in magical ovens, while catching glimpses of other delicious dishes from the Christmas range. Traditionally glazed gammon joint anyone?

Boots

Lydia West stars in Boots sparkly advert about a woman who finds a pair of magical glasses which allow her to see how fabulous everyone's lives can be - with all of her friends and family's glamorous desires being revealed just in time for Christmas. 

Sainsbury’s

National treasure Alison Hammond star as The Countess in one of our favourite ads! In this fantasy world, the Countess isn’t a fan of Christmas puddings, and so a cook must find desserts that she will love - or at least put a spin on the classic to make it tasty. Taste the difference, medieval style!

Asda

Buddy the Elf is working at Asda! In this clever ad, Will Ferrell is now Asda’s newest seasonal recruit it is jubilant and cheer-spreading Christmas advert. In the ad, the world’s most merry Elf enjoys all of Asda’s Christmas offerings - from pigs in blankets to mince pies - and, of course, has a little sing song on the tannoy system.

JD

Disney

With a little Mickey Mouse toy by her side, Max is first shown giving Ella the Mickey Mouse to comfort her at night, Ella then gifts the soft toy to her new-born sibling at their first meet, welcoming them to the family. We're not crying, you are.

M&S

Dawn French is a Christmas tree fairy who wants to find a friend on Christmas Day, helping out the pooch's scrappy toy, Ducky – who definitely needs some Christmas cheer. Luckily, M&S was there for all of their uniquely scrummy dishes. This is not just a Christmas ad, this is M&S Christmas ad!
