LAST year John Lewis made viewers weep with their Christmas advert, showing a boy impatiently waiting to give his parents their presents.

This year the department store giant is hoping their 90-second commercial, which features a snowman on the quest to buy the perfect gift for his snowwoman, will melt hearts once again.

The ad features a cover of Frankie Goes to Hollywood’s 1984 hit The Power of Love, sung by newcomer Gabrielle Aplin.

The new commercial, entitled The Journey, launched today and will be aired for the first time tonight at 9.10pm during Derren Brown: Fear and Faith on Channel 4.

Watch the teaser in full below:
