The ad centres around the theme of "Giving with Love" and showcases M&S's range of festive products.

The star-studded cast includes Paul Rudd, Tom Hiddleston, and Kristen Scott-Thomas, among others. The ad will air across TV, social media and digital platforms throughout the holiday season.
Marks & Spencer has revealed their newest Christmas commercial for the year 2023, featuring famous figures from hit shows such as The Marvels, Ted Lasso, and Queer Eye.
The yearly commercial by the retailer has become a recurring and expected event in the United Kingdom. The latest commercial is impressive with an amazing line-up of celebrities such as Hannah Waddingham, Zawe Ashton, Tan France, and Sophie Ellis-Bextor.
The video features the team getting ready for the holidays while Ray BLK's rendition of Meatloaf's famous tune ' I Would Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)' is playing in the background. They then proceed to break away from convention as they decorate for the festive season.
Tan France from Queer Eye has expressed his concern about the possibility of being replaced by another team on the show. France is part of the Fab Five, a group of individuals who help makeover people's lives on the series. While he didn't provide any details about why he feels this way, France's comment has left fans speculating about whether there are behind-the-scenes politics at play. Despite the uncertainty, fans are hopeful that France and the rest of the Fab Five will continue to inspire and entertain audiences in future seasons of Queer Eye.
In the blog post, it is described that Ellis-Bextor sets fire to a pile of Christmas cards, while France ruins the fun by knocking over a board game.
Ashton hits a garden gnome with a cardboard roll while Waddingham tears up a bunch of crackers to make some confetti.
The commercial finishes off with the main actor from the Ted Lasso show appearing bashfully on camera while picking up the gnome that was left behind. The overall message is to prioritize doing what you enjoy during the holiday season.
Waddingham expressed in a statement (as reported by Little Black Book) that she gets excited about dressing up and hanging out with her loved ones during the holidays. This campaign shoot helped her get into the holiday spirit.
I adore Christmas with my children and all the fun activities, including crafting handmade decorations. It thrills me to introduce this campaign to my kids," remarked France. Ashton expressed her happiness to be involved in the campaign this year because the store holds a unique spot in her heart.
Ellis-Bextor expressed that her family has a plethora of Christmas customs that they incorporate every year. They have a jam-packed schedule during the holiday season, but she embraces the hectic nature of it all.
It's incredibly exhilarating to have the opportunity to contribute to one of the most massive television advertisements of the year. I'm eagerly anticipating its release.
In other news, there was an article about Hannah Waddingham and her decision to not host the BBC Proms. The article details her explanation for why she made this choice.
Marks & Spencer has also verified that clients can purchase the articles and clothing the famous individuals wear in the advertisement starting today (November 1st).
Waddingham has more than one Christmas project coming up. She will be the host of her own show on Apple TV+ called Home for Christmas.
A musical show including special performers will accompany her at the London Coliseum, and the official launch of it is scheduled for November 22.
