Hotspring Provides VFX Support for John Lewis 2025 Christmas Campaign

Hotspring contributed additional VFX capacity to John Lewis’s 2025 Christmas campaign, supporting post-production teams on selected assets. By integrating directly into the post-house pipeline, Hotspring enabled smooth handovers and consistent quality across multiple versions and deliverables.

The brand’s Where Love Lives campaign depicts a teenage boy, who struggles to express his emotions for his dad, using music as a way to connect with him.

The advert, which is viewed by many as marking the start of the festive season, shows a dad opening a Christmas present – a vinyl record of Where Love Lives.

A reimagined version of Alison Limerick’s song plays while clips show the father dancing in a 90s club and flashbacks of his son as a baby.
