Snapper: The Perfect Tree | John Lewis & Partners | Christmas Ad 2023

You know what I don't hate it, I was prepared to get emotional but didn't. It's a fun advert, silly, goofy but half decent

I really wish there was a stuffed animal tie-in. It became a tradition in my house to watch the ad and get the stuffy for Xmas. We’ve got Moz, Edgar, the Penguin…

Sorry woke advert. Budlight 2.0

John Lewis never disappoint with their nauseating wokeness.

This was bad

So sorry but I just don’t love it. The other ads are better. 😢
Merry Christmas 💗

The biggest miss ever!
How did this get approved.😂😂😂
What would be nice is an advert about Christmas not launched before December 1st.
How about that for innovation 🎅🏼🎅🏼🎅🏼🎅🏼🎅🏼🎅🏼🎅🏼🎅🏼🎅🏼🎅🏼🎅🏼🎅🏼🎅🏼🎅🏼🎅🏼🎅🏼🎅🏼🎅🏼🎅🏼🎅🏼🎅🏼🎅🏼🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄

Guess where I'm not shopping?

Bring back Dragon!

Seems to be another agenda serving advert like M&S move away from tradition

Watched it for the first time yesterday and did not hate it. On reflection and another viewing. I like it. It's clever. The start makes you think of Jack and the Beanstalk. It then morphs into 'Little Shop of Horrors'. Here the plant was carnivous space plant. It was aggressive and certainly male. Depending on how you see it, it is either about the boy discovering his masculity amongst a household of women or maybe an expression of unconventionally or even excitement. The plant does not fit in due to its ravenous need to play. This is echoed by the song and phrase.

La vita della festa.

Which translates as 'the life of the party'

The boy rejects the conventional tree and they all see that the plant has its uses. It is a celebration of life or masculinity.

Worst one yet

I'm clearly the outlier in my opinion of this ad. It's okay but not phenomenal, and I didn't get the Christmas feels from it. Perhaps, I need to see the Little Shop of Horrors to understand it. 😕

Thanks John Lewis for completely missing a Dad out of the advert - typical left wing nonsense - no male figure at all - all female family except for a little boy. Wheres Dad at xmas? Disgrace

For 10 years straight, John Lewis advert has been something I look forward to watch every Christmas ❤

I really dont get the message intended in this.

Snapper is probably the best and cutest character you’ve made to date John Lewis. Not the theme I would’ve gone for but i think it’s still my favourite Christmas advert this year and John Lewis adverts are always my favourite every year

Brilliant 👏👏👏 John Lewis always has the best Christmas ads 👌😍

Very cute :)

Actually love this! Original, fun, heartwarming.

Is that andrea bocelli singing

I miss the tear-jerking ads the last real great one was 2015

I love the music in this

I am cry! so good! Bravo! Bocelli excellent!

I work in advertising and I'm Italian... you can't get how happy this ad makes me feel ❤😊

¡Maravilloso! 🎉❤🎉

Dreadful.

Love it! I felt so sorry for Snapper cast out in the cold 😭 and then it turns out good! ❤🥰

Sto pensando a tutti quei piccolo borghesi razzisti che che guarderanno questo spot, e si commuoveranno pure...sinceramente, per la povera pianta di Natale strana e diversa cacciata di casa. E poi uscendo per strada, facendo shopping natalizio, prenderanno a calci nel sedere il primo povero barbone, strano o diverso di colore di pelle, da loro.

Not to my personal taste, but definitely a step in the right direction. Would have worked with a better song for me.

In the immortal words of Tyra Banks, “YOU get a lump of coal! And YOU get a lump of coal! You ALL get a lump of coal!!!”

So the perfect Christmas tree is the best-known carnivorous plant, the Venus flytrap, which eats its victim alive.
I'm pretty sure whoever came up with this ad is not a Christian. Or just wants to desecrate the Christian holiday. Then at the end of the commercial, he spits Christmas presents in the family's face? And everyone is happy with that?
Those Christians who think this is a nice Christmas advert must be in an advanced state of mental deterioration.

Notice all the inaccuracies 😂

I know some people are complaining over there being no dad in the advert, but us single parents do exist and it isn't often when we get represented in an advert.

😂🥺❤

Thank you John Lewis. I just love Andrea Bocelli bringing Christmas joy and pathos to us through La Vita della Festa🎉.

I'm so sorry but you've done so much better adverts like the bear and the hare in 2013, the snowman journey 2012, monty the penguin 2014, buster the boxer trampoline Edgar the dragon 2019, I couldn't wait to see what you had this year and I was horrified to see this year's one was like the little shop of horrors or the triffids it felt like it was more of a Halloween advert than a christmas one it was a big let down if you could go back how you did some of your older ones would be good felt you've lost your way this year!!!

For all those worried about Snapper being outside - they grow best outdoors! 🤣🤣

Brilliant ad. Makes a pleasant change from the usual adverts from the bigger retailers.

Traditions grow with Audrey II...I mean Snapper

I love It ❤

2 minuets of Christmas perfection well done J L 🥳👍

You guys have lost the plot, what happened to the incredible ads from the early 2010s

Still not seen it on TV. Thankfully there are better ones to watch, over and over and over again 😂

Really clever and quite funny! I mean we don't have to have a tearjerker every year.

This is garbage, not a Christmas commercial. Whoever did this, find another job somewhere in agriculture.

A fun advert - and quite a change from the sometimes bordering on over-sentimental things seen in previous years - so this upbeat yet heartfelt as is refreshing (though I DID worry about that dog possibly getting eaten by ‘Audrey II’ for a second). The adverts featuring the animated Bear & Hare and the classic one with Buster the boxer dog are still the best ones John Lewis have made though.

Oh dear, I'm sorry I just don't like it! I've watched it several times and it depresses me, I realise it's quirky but for me, not in a good way. I'm 80 next year, perhaps you need to be a youngster to appreciate this one!
