Aldi has brought back Kevin the Carrot for the fourth year running, and he's having even more adventures than usual.

Selfridges brought out all the stops for its 2019 Christmas advert, titled Future Fantasy: a Christmas for Modern Times. Selfridges describes the short film as "a high-octane collision between the niche and the universal, and through a distinctly fashion lens." It is directed by Nabil Elderkin (who's previously collaborated with Travis Scott, Frank Ocean, and The Weeknd), narrated by Little Simz (of Top Boy), and has a cast of unexpected yet influential people — think Dior Homme creative director Kim Jones, Dazed Media cofounder Jefferson Hack, and Cambridge Analytica whistle-blower Christopher Wiley.

This year, the Dogs Trust is tackling the important message that a dog isn't just for Christmas but for life.

We're not crying, you're crying!
