How nice of them to use a song by a Sheffield resident in the year they closed their city centre store despite massive financial support from the city council.......

This advert is highly irresponsible, it is encouraging children to talk to strangers. I think this is a highly dangerous message to send and this advert should be taken down immediately.
That, and it was boring as hell.

To remember this Christmas like it was your first you can remember.
Christmas used to be great for me, family together, great food, spending all day with loved ones, great presents, etc.
Now it’s lost an element of that magic. People are no longer here, it’s harder to get together, presents are a bit meh. Food is still great! I guess to me, the message was try and recreate the magic of old even if things are different.

Bit too much sexual tension between that kid and a presumably adult alien for my comfort 
Also, I didn't really get the warm fuzzy feeling I presume they were going for. Definitely not their best work.

none of my childhood Christmases had a alien birds in them, probably explains why it's lost on me
Yep. far too many aliens in this....................

I always used to like the toys r us advert. This one has been made well, but is boring and generally rubbish.

It sort of makes sense if you imagine the little boy is Dave Chappelle and the alien is Donald Trump.

Why would you give an alien a mince pie ? Wouldn't you be concerned it might be literal poison to them ?
They're pretty bad for humans tbh.

I'm outraged! The kid mansplained how to eat a mince pie to a female alien. Misogyny at its finest. Cancel John Lewis!

A FOLLOW-UP to the new John Lewis ad will show a trusting young boy screaming as millions of invasive alien eggs hatch from his body on Christmas Day.
The ad will be shown on Christmas morning, during Santa Claus The Movie, featuring the same boy who previously made an alien friend rushing down to open his presents.
When he spies a special present wrapped in silver foil he tears it open to find an extraterrestrial device, which starts pulsing strangely as he suddenly finds himself suffering agonising abdominal pain.
Advertising executive Jules Cook continued: “The rest of his family back away, terrified, as he jerks and thrashes before bursting open to shower the room in gore and a million star-shaped alien babies.
“We pan out to reveal this is happening in every home in the country and the world, and the newly-hatched otherworldly visitors are consuming humans for their food and painting huge bloody stars across our continents.
“It’s all done to a minor-key acoustic cover of Evisceration Plague by Cannibal Corpse. Should really bring footfall to John Lewis.”
Mum-of-four Jo Kramer said: “Well I don’t care, I think it’s heartwarming.”
