The ad begins with a young boy holding a box labelled ‘Grow your own perfect Christmas tree’
Contained in the box is a seed, which the boy plants and spends every waking moment nurturing.
The Christmas tree finally blooms into a venus flytrap type plant, named Snappy, and causes havoc to the family home.
Meet Snapper, the perfect tree. 🎄 #TraditionsGrow pic.twitter.com/UmeA0fXkKq

As usual the ad has left people divided with some calling for an older style of the John Lewis ad, saying “Bring back the 2015 marketing team.”
Others have described it as "Funny and Brilliant.” and “Unusual but rather good advert, with fantastic music!”
