The John Lewis Christmas Advert 2015: Man on the Moon, tells the sweet story of Lily, a young girl who spots a lonely man living on the moon through her telescope. Seeing how isolated he is, she’s determined to make a connection. After a few failed attempts, she finally sends him a telescope as a Christmas gift, allowing them to share a smile across the stars.
Set to a beautiful cover of Oasis’s “Half the World Away”, the ad highlights themes of love, connection, and reaching out to those who might feel alone—especially during the holidays. It ends with the message: “Show someone they’re loved this Christmas.” This heartwarming ad was a hit for its focus on kindness and raising awareness of loneliness in the elderly.
