While the title on the YouTuber's channel gave the date as 2023, based on viewer comments, this moving video actually came out two years earlier...

John Lewis Christmas Advert 2023 (Homemade). This our charity Christmas Advert for 2023. This song/advert is dedicated to everyone who has faced hardships in 2023. With this song, we hope to raise money for multiple charities that support the elderly. With each £0.79p purchase it will help give support & companionship to the elderly who need it most in 2021. This Christmas Advert Concept for John Lewis was filmed to show the bond between two people who share a deep love for one another. Many elderly people rely on their family and friends for their wellbeing. This is why with every £0.79p purchase of our song “Don’t Let Me Go”, 100% of the money will be donated to charity to support those who aren't as fortunate to have companionship.

In my opinion this is more heartfelt and emotional than the actual John Lewis advert this year. Well done.
