John Lewis Christmas Advert 2019

By Euan Franklin on 14/11/2019

Bastille performs Can't Fight this Feeling over a charming tale of a dragon struggling to belong

The John Lewis Christmas advert is finally here!
The John Lewis Christmas advert is finally here!
The TV event of the year has arrived! After last year’s shameless attempt to promote Elton John, the John Lewis Christmas advert has returned to its usual, charming standard: a heartwarming story with a cute CGI character. This time, it’s with Edgar the Dragon.

Supplied with a cover of Can't Fight This Feeling by the indie pop band Bastille (of Pompeii fame), the two-and-a-half minute short follows Edgar as he struggles to belong in a small and snowy Hungarian village. But, without meaning to, he keeps setting everything alight with his dragon breath. He’s taken in by a young girl, known only as ‘Ruby’, who tries and fails to welcome him to the community.

Finally, Ruby finds a use for him: igniting the Christmas pudding. Edgar, for the holidays at least, can finally fit in. Watch the new advert below.
