This year, John Lewis' Christmas advert centres around a young boy who wants to grow his own Christmas tree – but not everything is as it seems. <\/p>\n

The tree turns out to be a mischievous Venus flytrap which causes chaos for the family.<\/p>\n

Viewers will see how the boy lovingly nurtures the plant from a seed bought at a local market, in the belief he is cultivating a perfect Christmas tree.<\/p>\n

The fast-growing plant becomes an equally big personality who wants to join in all the fun of Christmas, before the inevitable tear-jerking moment when he is cast out into the cold to make way for a traditional tree.<\/p>\n

However, the boy is determined for Snapper to have a place in the celebrations, which soon sees him back in the fold, as the ad ends with the strapline 'Let your traditions grow'.<\/p>\n

The soundtrack for the John Lewis advert is always highly-anticipated as it's often a cover song.<\/p>\n

However, this year, Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli performs an original track with Italian electro-pop duo Le Feste Antonacci.<\/p>\n

The ad's soundtrack is called 'Festa' – which means celebration – and will be released in longer form as a charity single.<\/p>\n

A proportion of the proceeds going to the John Lewis Partnership's Building Happier Futures charities, which help young people with experience of the care system and families in need.<\/p>\n

On why he was keen to work with John Lewis, Andrea said: "I am delighted to take part in this wonderful and unique tradition of Christmas storytelling.<\/p>\n

"It is very special for me given the great support this will bring to both the John Lewis and Andrea Bocelli foundations. Joy to all of your worlds this Christmas!"<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

John Lewis customer director Charlotte Lock said: "We are a nation that loves the traditions of Christmas – from classic traditions like pantos and putting up the tree to evolving new ones like crafting our own presents and Zoom get-togethers.<\/p>\n

"Many of us have our own unique festive traditions and that makes them even more special. The film celebrates themes of family and evolving traditions, and shows that a 'perfect' Christmas is finding joy together with loved ones, whatever your traditions."<\/p>\n

Fans of the advert will be able to get their hands on plenty of merchandise from an \u00a318 plush plant to a \u00a33 Christmas card with seeds and a \u00a39.99 children's story book.<\/p>\n

Snapper will also feature on the Christmas at Kew light trail at the gardens this year.<\/p>\n

From December, an AR filter will allow Meta users to bring Snapper into their own homes, while a digital advent calendar on the John Lewis app will see Snapper reward myJL members with exclusive rewards.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
