A spokesperson from John Lewis said when contacted for a statement: “Thank you for getting in touch but as you suspect we don’t comment on speculation about our advert.”
‘Buster the Boxer’ was John Lewis’ Christmas ad last year, apparently this year their ad is expected to feature a “big cuddly monster”.
A source told OK!: “The creative team behind the John Lewis advert have pulled out all the stops this year,
“It’s going to be like nothing they’ve ever done before and will be a million miles away from Buster the Boxer.
“This year the John Lewis advert will revolve around a big cuddly monster. If you can imagine a cross between the Gruffalo and a huge cute teddy bear, that’s the angle they’ve gone for.”
