John Lewis Christmas ad 2019
The John Lewis Christmas ad has finally arrived and it's everything we expected and more.
Bastille's Dan Smith is the famous name behind the advert's soundtrack.
We've also had the pleasure of finally meeting the famous Excitable Edgar.
The advert begins with a child walking down a snowy street with her young dragon friend Excitable Edgar.
When the creature sees a snowman, he runs to place a carrot in the snow but he accidentally breathes fire on it.
The snowman melts to the ground and Excitable Edgar looks very upset.
His uncontrollable fire breathing seems to ruin every single Christmas activity he gets involved in.
When he burns down the town's Christmas tree, he hides away in his home for days.
His best friend is lost without him so she gifts him with a Christmas pudding.
She invites him to Christmas dinner and when he walks into the room, everyone ducks in fear of his uncontrollable habit.
However, he uses his powers for good this time and lights up the pudding.
The whole table applaud him as the caption reads, 'Show them how much you care.'
The video's description reads, 'Our story this year is all about the magic of friendship and how one thoughtful gesture can make all the difference.'
'Edgar’s excitement around the festive season can often lead to fiery consequences.'
'But Ava sparks an idea for the perfect present to help him light up Christmas in his own special way.'
