John Lewis have done it again as they release their latest Christmas advert which features a hedgehog, snowmen, balloons and a group of hip-hop pigeons.
The retailers are world-renowned for heart-warming Christmas segments and this year is no less with a pandemic-sensitive advert highlighting the gift of kindness and the power of charity rather than presents.
The group commissioned eight different animators to contribute to the stagnated creative community which has crumbled under COVID-19.

The Health Department stated that it does not rule out nationwide rapid testing for COVID-19 and that it is currently investigating the results of the same mechanism in Slovakia.
Slovakia was the first country to test its entire population of 5.6 million people with rapid antigen tests, with approximately one percent of subjects testing positive ahead of its second round of testing.
Adopting this system for Malta would mean that health workers would be able to identify carriers better, making them more able to further mitigate the spread of the virus.
