The Making of Unexpected Guest | John Lewis & Partners | Christmas Ad 2021

Take a look behind the scenes of the John Lewis Christmas ad 2021 🛸🎄

Hear from the team behind the ad as they set out to capture the magic of our unexpected guest, Skye, experiencing the joy of Christmas for the first time.

The return of the magic of Christmas is something that everyone will be getting on board with this year. We’ll be welcoming family, friends and, in the case of our young star of the new John Lewis advert, alien beings from outer space into our homes and lives to enjoy familiar traditions and celebrations.
