This year’s two-minute John Lewis Christmas 2023 advert stars a cheeky Venus flytrap called Snapper as an alternative Christmas tree, staring a Venus flytrap called Snapper described as “too cute to resist”.
This year, the joyful advert features a break from tradition, where a young boy called Alfie accidentally grows a cheeky Venus flytrap called Snapper, as an alternative Christmas tree to hang his holiday ornaments on.
Snapper starts to emerge, after a little boy named Alfie buys a seed in a box marked “grow your own Christmas tree”, and a sweet bond develops between the two, with fun times ensuing.
However, the eight-year-old’s mum replaces the Venus flytrap with a conventional Christmas tree, so, Alfie goes into the garden, where Snapper has been relocated, and gives the plant a present on Christmas Day. Getting into the festive spirit, other family members do the same, and Snapper proceeds to eat the gifts.
The singing plant, sadly grows too big over the course of the two minute advert, to be contained in the tiny pot he started out in, and Snapper is cast out into the cold before long, where he embarks on a series of mischievous antics.
The advert thankfully, ends happily however, when Snapper is finally accepted by Alfie’s family to help switch up their Christmas decor for 2023.
The grand finale comes when Snapper subsequently spits out exciting presents from John Lewis, including slippers, Lego, and headphones, as tenor maestro Andrea Bocelli sings and the end tagline shown across the screen reads: “Let your traditions grow.”
There is nothing better than telling little ones a story at Christmas, and this Snapper kids’ book covers the tale of the Venus flytrap and his friend Alfie. The rhyming story written by Lucy Feather also features lovely illustrations by artist Christine Cuddihy. Get kids ready for Santa’s arrival by reading the book now or wrap it up to pop in Christmas stockings. Nosy Crow John Lewis Christmas advert 2023 ‘Snapper – The Perfect Christmas Tree’ kids’ book is available for £9.99.
Several customers have been eager to get their hands on the products featured in the clip, with an impressive range of merchandise already on sale to help bring a little of Snapper’s festive charm to your home this Christmas.
