This year's festive commercial is out and set to raise money for charity

Rumours were rife it wouldn't happen this year due to the coronavirus pandemic and job losses across the group, but John Lewis and Partners has not scrapped the campaign. 

Instead the two minute commercial celebrates small acts of kindness making a positive impact on those around us.

It's an animated cartoon with music from singer Celeste.  

John Lewis has announced they hope to raise £4 million for FareShare and Home-Start.  Two charities helping people needing help and facing poverty. 

The commercial is online from today with the strapline  #givealittlelove
