For many, it has become a big part of the countdown to Christmas. And now, the launch of the annual festive John Lewis advert is just around the corner. The retailer has earned a reputation for going all out to launch its December campaign.
The commercials are often heartfelt with a deeper message, and through the years have introduced us to characters such as Buster the boxer, Moz the monster, Edgar the fire breathing dragon, Monty the penguin and the man on the moon.
