If you thought the John Lewis Christmas advert was the only one out there that could make you feel emotional during the festive season, then think again. This advert created by YouTube sensation Sam Clegg is guaranteed to bring tears to your eyes with its gorgeous music, heartwarming visuals, and a sincere festive message. Over a million people have already watched this advert in a matter of weeks!
Understandably, you might be dubious as to whether a homemade advert could possibly match the quality of a big brand like John Lewis, but with this advert, Sam proves it really is possible. His original song soundtracks the video, and it’s a beautiful mix of emotive lyrics and warm, soaring melodies, really making his listeners think about the true meaning of Christmas as they’re watching.
The advert is bound to keep you hooked to the very end with its storyline too. Delivering a message about loneliness at Christmas, it follows the tale of an old man who is on his own during the festive season. Every day he visits a special place on the moor where a robin is there to greet him. One day after a bad storm, the robin becomes sick, and the man takes him in and nurses him back to health. In a tear-jerking twist, we later find out that the man’s late wife was also named Robyn…
Regular viewers of Sam’s will know that this is not the first time he has made a Christmas advert for YouTube. He has actually been making one every year since 2020, with his natural talent for creating songs and videos that bring attention to the more emotive aspects of the festive season landing him interviews and feature spots on numerous high-profile British news outlets, including ITV and Channel 5.
Here at the Music Man, we think that Sam has a real talent for creating something special, and we hope our readers think so too! His knack for writing deep and meaningful songs and creating music videos to go with them has earned him a significant amount of fame online so far, and if there’s any justice in the world, his fame will continue to grow. But the best thing about his festive music videos is that all the money raised from purchases of the songs will go to charity. So head on over to Sam’s YouTube channel, and dig deep this festive period.
