Marks & Spencer has unveiled its Christmas advert for 2025, starring James Norton as Santa and Lucy Punch as Mrs Claus. The campaign showcases the retailer's fashion, homeware, beauty and gifting ranges, marking the start of the festive season at M&S.
The advert opens in the North Pole, where Santa undergoes a makeover after Mrs Claus suggests he might look younger without his beard. Trading his red suit for a stylish outfit, he heads to London to experience Christmas incognito.
