John Lewis Christmas advert from 2012 focuses on a gift for someone you love

The Christmas ad from 2012, called The Journey, shows the extraordinary lengths to which some will go in their search for a gift for someone they love. The 90-second commercial opens in a family's snow-covered garden, with children happily making a snowman and snowwoman. When the snowman mysteriously disappears the next morning, the viewer is transported to a magical world, following him on an epic journey across river, mountain, road and city. The motive for the snowman's secret journey isn't revealed until the last scene, when he returns on Christmas morning with gifts for his wife. Gabrielle Aplin sings The Power Of Love, the 1984 hit from Frankie Goes To Hollywood, as the soundtrack.
