John Lewis Christmas ad kids now from Hollywood acting to stage productions

ok.co.uk:

The new John Lewis Christmas advert has been released, meaning that it's basically 25 December now.This year's centres around a young boy who wants to grow his own Christmas tree- but not everything is as it seems.

The tree turns out to be a mischievous Venus flytrap which causes chaos for the family. 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.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.

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." The release of the new advert has got us in a reflective mood so we've decided to look at where the other stars of the adverts are now...

The Long Wait - 2011 It was one of the very first Christmas adverts to hit us right in the heart- and paved the way for other emotional offerings.
