This year’s John Lewis Christmas advert is finally here, this time featuring a heartwarming love story between a girl from space and a boy who shows her all the festive traditions.

The two-minute campaign, which is set to Lola Young’s cover of Together in Electric Dreams, sees young lad Nathan befriend Skye after she lands in the woods beside his home.

Nathan shows Skye the magic of Christmas as he amusingly encourages her to try her first mince pie and introduces her to the joy of thoughtful gifting by giving her his jumper.

The actors playing Skye and Nathan are familiar faces, having appeared in a number of major films and television shows.

Here’s everything you need to know on where you will have seen them before.
