JOHN Lewis is set to open a new store in Basingstoke next week, and the company has today revealed its much-awaited Christmas advertising campaign.
Man On The Moon tells the story of a magical and unexpected connection between a little girl, Lily, and a Man On The Moon.
It encourages us to show someone they are loved this Christmas, and the retailer has teamed up with Age UK in an effort to raise awareness of the million older people who go a month without speaking to a friend, neighbour or family member.
Set to a cover of Oasis Half The World Away by Norwegian singer Aurora, it gives the message "Show someone they're loved this Christmas".
The advert will feature on television for the first time this evening during the first advert break of Gogglebox on Channel 4.
But there's no need to wait - you can watch it now below.
Craig Inglis, customer director at John Lewis, said: "We hope it inspires people to find really special gifts for their loved ones and through our partnership with Age UK, raises awareness of the issue of loneliness amongst older people and encourages others to support in any way they can."
The new John Lewis at home store is set to open in Basingstoke next Thursday in Basing View.
