A truly British event happens each year every Christmas , I am not talking about mulled wine or mince pies, it's the big brands TV advertising campaigns. TV adverts that pull on the emotions and are some of the most talked about in UK homes. In fact the anticipation of these TV campaigns is talked about in the media and receive millions of views from UK householders. 2016 is no exception but this year John Lewis may have been knocked off the top spot by Marks and Spencer who have switched the theme from gooey eyed emotions to introduce Mrs Santa Clause.

John Lewis began trading in 1864 on London's Oxford Street, and has grown to become the largest omni-channel retailer in the UK with 48 John Lewis shops.'Never Knowingly Undersold' (NKU) has been the brands unique promise to its customers for over 75 years. If they find a national high street competitor offering a better nationwide price for the same individual product, sold with the same service conditions, John Lewis will lower thier price to match including when a competitor is having a sale.

The TV campaigns are so popular even the music used receives a huge boost. In 2008, the soundtrack featured a slowed-down cover version of a classic song, and all subsequent John Lewis adverts have employed the same musical style. Ellie Goulding, Gabrielle Aplin, Lily Allen, Aurora, Tom Odell and Vaults are among the artists that have contributed their vocals to a John Lewis Christmas advert.For the 2014 campaign Tom Odell covered "Real Love", the last song released by The Beatles.
