John Lewis advert featuring the bear and the hare

The latest Christmas advert from John Lewis hit screens at the weekend featuring the heart-warming tale of a bear and a hare enjoying the Yuletide celebrations.

And we've also had TV presenters Ant and Dec sitting down to a lavish Christmas spread courtesy of the supermarket Morrisons, plus ads for Tesco's and of course the iconic Coca-Cola Christmas lorry.

As far as the big advertisers are concerned November is not too early to be getting into the Christmas spirit and turning our attention the big day - still more than a month away, but what do you think?
