Bring the magic of M&S's Christmas advert home with its new festive food range

M&S and Christmas are a combination guaranteed to spark festive excitement. The high street favourite has finally unveiled its much-anticipated Christmas TV advert, alongside the launch of its new 'Home at Christmas' campaign.Rivalling John Lewis for its starry cast, the advert features award-winning actor James Norton and Amandaland's Lucy Punch – plus a special appearance and recorded soundtrack from Katherine Jenkins OBE. It’s the first time since 2017 that M&S has brought the best of food, fashion, home and beauty together in one campaign. James stars as an incognito Santa, alongside Lucy as a glamorous Mrs Claus. As the voice of M&S Christmas, Katherine Jenkins brings the Home of Christmas campaign to life through music, reimagining the iconic Heaven Is a Place on Earth as the season's soundtrack.M&SThe campaign shows Santa leaving the North Pole behind and heading out into the world to experience Christmas from a different perspective after a little encouragement from Mrs Claus. His Christmas adventure takes him through the moments that make the season special: getting dressed up, gathering around a table of brilliant food, choosing gifts people will genuinely love and transforming the home for Christmas. M&SThe message is that M&S is there for every festive moment, from pyjamas – Lucy’s striped pair are just £35 (Marksandspencer.com) – to party food, sparkly dresses, gifting and turkey centrepieces for the table. In fact, one in three Christmas turkeys sold in the UK come from M&S, while the retailer sells around three mince pies every second. With that in mind, here’s your ultimate M&S food guide to ensure your table is ready this Christmas.
