Viewers then see Nathan help Skye discover the magic of her first Christmas – introducing her to some of his favourite festive moments. He brings her fairy lights from his family’s tree, mince pies, Christmas films and plays in the show.
The time comes when Skye has fixed her ship and must return to her home planet and the pair are to be separated – and in the bittersweet, heart-warming moment, Nathan gifts her his Christmas jumper, the same one he was wearing when they first met.
Every product in the ad is from John Lewis, with customers able to ‘shop key scenes’, including the decorated Christmas tree and dinner table.

One happy shopper wrote: ‘This Christmas jumper has a vintage vibe to it, stirring up a nostalgic Christmas feeling. I love that the design is simple but fabulously festive.
‘The sizing is perfect for me; as a standard size 16 and being 5’6, the jumper has plenty of room without feeling oversized. I’m thrilled with the quality of the jumper and extremely happy that it’s made from cotton so I won’t overheat wearing it.
‘This jumper will be great thrown on with jeans but I can’t wait to style it with a festive skirt or some tartan trousers to get into the Christmas spirit!’
