When the air starts getting frosty and the nights start getting darker you know that Christmas can’t be far away. But now there’s another sure sign that the festive season is rapidly approaching – it’s the start of the Christmas adverts on our tellies.

There’s nothing quite like seeing the classic Coca Cola truck dancing across your screen, or the typically emotional John Lewis ad to make you feel sure that Christmas magic is on its way.

We’ve rounded up all of 2014’s best Christmas ads in one place so that you can enjoy one after another after another. Or is it just us that likes to watch them all in one go? Warning: The latest from Apple might cause glazed eyes.
