We’ve already had the Sainsbury’s and M&S Christmas adverts, and now it seems we’re about to get the eagerly-anticipated John Lewis festive advert.
The legendary high-street brand has a reputation for producing the best and most magical Xmas commercials.
A new Twitter account has been created and posted a cryptic message, which fans think heralds this year’s Yuletide advert from John Lewis.
Meet Edgar. 14.11.19 #ExcitableEdgar pic.twitter.com/4H9YRCDMZJ

The 10-second teaser shows a young child’s hand reach up and knock on a thick wooden door.
With snow falling, the gargoyle-type knocker soon gives way and the door opens.
Text then comes up on the screen saying ‘Meet Edgar’ and the date 14.11.19.
There was also the hashtag ‘#ExcitableEdgar’.
Twitter users immediately took to the social media site, convinced that the teaser was indeed the work of John Lewis.
“Anyone else thinking #johnlewischristmasadvert?” one wrote.
