The advert features an old man living on the moon.
And a young girl on Earth keen to make contact after spotting him through her telescope.
Fast-forward to Christmas Day.

A telescope.
The advert ends with the pair finding each other and the young girl waving.
It has been made in association with Age UK.
Delighted to work with @johnlewisretail to help lonely older people #NoOne #ManOnTheMoon https://t.co/EVWFywipPR
The two-minute advert features an acoustic cover of Oasis's "Half the World Away" performed by 19-year-old Norwegian singer Aurora.
