10 Best John Lewis Christmas Adverts - The Definite Ranking!

8. Buster The Boxer - 2016

Another advert that didn't quite hit the spot was Buster the Boxer. This advert is filled with woodland animals and a trampolining dog, how did it not become an instant hit?

Ultimately Buster the Boxer is just not Christmassy enough. Again it sends a wonderful message that dreams can come true, but had the trampoline been a birthday gift, the same sentiment would have been true.

If this had been a regular advert I'd be giving it a standing ovation, but it was missing some of that festive magic.
