First look at Marks and Spencer Christmas ad starring major White Lotus star
Christmas seems to have come early this year, with a first glimpse at Marks & Spencer's upcoming advert for the festive period. The Christmas advert scene has become something of a battleground over recent years, with retailers like Marks & Spencer, John Lewis and Waitrose all fighting it out for festive supremacy. Last year's M&S Christmas advert featured Dawn French, who came face-to-face with a Christmas fairy (also played by herself) who helped the French and Saunders icon put on a spread for her friends and family. With the year now in its back end, filming is underway for M&S's next offering, which stars White Lotus actress Aimee Lou Wood as the face of Christmas 2025. While fans still have a few months to go until the finished product makes its debut, a series of snaps have previewed what the retailer has up its sleeve… or stocking, as it were. These new images have feature the Sex Education star looking festive on set in a picturesque English town… in spite of the raging heatwave it was shot under. In these images, Aimee Lou can be seen wearing a heavy fur coat as she stands in a fake snow-covered English village, decorated with festive greenery and Christmas accoutrements. Other images show Aimee Lou with other members of the cast, including a man, another woman and young child, as they wander through the snowy scene. In the background of another picture, a fluffy dog can be seen wearing a pair of reindeer antlers. 'It's not just a dog, it's an M&S dog,' Aimee Lou is said to have joked, referencing the supermarket's famous slogan. This year's advert was filmed in the Hertfordshire town of Hatfield. Earlier this week, Hatfield local Chloe Granger shared some insight into what the retailer had planned when she shared a series of pictures from the shoot to her TikTok account. 'M&S have filmed their Christmas TV ad in my home village 🎅🏼🎄' she wrote in the caption to her post. 'It looks so festive, walking around really got me in the mood for Christmas, even though this was happening in the middle of a heatwave 😂 'Can't wait to see the ad!' she, uh, added. The accompanying montage of pictures showed how the streets of Hatfield had been transformed into something out of a Charles Dickens novel. Fake snow lined the streets and pavements, while the pictured houses were decorated with festive wreaths and Christmas presents. The local pub – The Eight Bells – had 'never looked so good,' according to Chloe, with three Christmas trees straddling the door and windows, while greenery adorned the rest of the building. Another of Chloe's snaps showed a group of topless lads walking through the 'snowy' streets, highlighting the contrast between Christmas fantasy and the reality of recent weather. In the comments below Chloe's post, followers were getting into the Christmas spirit, with TikTok user Jodi Gardner writing: 'This actually gave me goosebumps. It looks amazing 🥰' 'It's making me crave winter so much,' said Laura. 'Simply stunning,' said jodixo. More Trending Jamie Dear said: 'Omg my heart!!! This makes me so happy🥹😭' M&S shared last year's Christmas video in November 2024, so there are still a few months to go until we get to see the advert in full. It remains to be seen how they'll fare against heavy-hitter John Lewis, who have stirred the nation into a frenzy ever since their beloved 2011 effort 'Waiting,' which told the story of a young lad and his long wait for the big day.

Hidden gem town with incredible Justin Bieber and William Shakespeare links
Stratford in Ontario, Canada, may seem like a world away from the UK but it is filled with nods to British history - and is actually the birthplace of one of the biggest stars of the 21st century This unassuming town in Ontario, Canada, might not feature on your travel bucket list but it boasts some rather remarkable credentials. Not only did it give birth to one of the 21st century's biggest celebrities, but it's also brimming with the cultural influences that shaped their success - plus it has stronger connections to Britain than you might imagine. Stratford is positioned along the River Avon in Ontario, Canada, having been established by European settlers in 1832 and endearingly christened after Stratford-upon-Avon, Shakespeare's birthplace in England. Ever since, the life and literary works of the figure many consider the English language's finest writer have become woven into the community's very fabric. Located just a two-hour journey from Toronto, this frequently overlooked small city offers plenty for visitors seeking an alternative Canadian experience, reports the Mirror US. Situated inland and encircled by lush landscapes save for the tranquil river flowing through its centre, it provides a perfect retreat for those eager to delve into both heritage and theatre. The Stratford Festival, ranked as the area's top attraction, generates the most excitement by presenting a diverse programme of stage productions honouring Shakespeare's masterpieces. One TripAdvisor reviewer said: "Not a bad seat in the house. It was full, but you never really got the feeling that it was overcrowded. "Beautiful scenery all around the theater as well. We'd recommend giving it a try, and we're already looking forward to our next show." Another essential destination for arts enthusiasts is the Avon Theatre, which dates back to 1901. Today, outside its famous steps sits a golden star plaque honouring pop sensation Justin Bieber, who used to busk on those exact steps as a youngster. Footage of the singer playing his guitar and performing passionately on those steps became an internet sensation and, amongst other factors, helped catch the attention of Scooter Braun in 2008. He remains incredibly proud of his Ontario heritage and serves as a major source of inspiration for aspiring musicians in the region. Beyond the arts scene, Stratford boasts an array of excellent watering holes. Whilst the city has traditionally been celebrated for its thriving food culture, this has expanded considerably in recent times with the arrival of artisan breweries and independent distilleries. With green spaces to discover, visitors can relax amidst the charming Shakespeare Gardens during their stay. One guest said on TripAdvisor: "The gardens along the water are lovely, and it's so peaceful. During the summer, you can rent paddle boats, and I think that would be a wonderful experience!". Another reviewer added: "It is very small, but there is a fabulous bench hidden away with a great view of the river-perfect to sit and meditate or read a book." Whether you're a Belieber seeking to indulge your fandom, or just in search of a tranquil retreat, Stratford is certainly a destination to consider. Immersing yourself in the works of Shakespeare in a town that echoes his Warwickshire origins, albeit on a different continent, promises a unique and artistic experience.

Tiny English village that inspired the world's longest running soap opera is home to cosy historic pub and country walks
Plus, inside the English village that inspired one of UK's top TV soaps DRINK IT IN Tiny English village that inspired the world's longest running soap opera is home to cosy historic pub and country walks Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) DUE to celebrate 75 years on air in January, The Archers is widely believed to be based on a tiny village in the middle of the English countryside. Inkberrow in Worcestershire is thought to be the inspiration behind the fictional village of Ambridge, from the world's longest running soap opera. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Inkberrow located in Worcestershire is believed to have inspired the radio show The Archers Credit: Alamy In particular, the pub - with the real village's pub called The Old Bull. Godfrey Baseley - the creator and editor of The Archers - used to live locally, according to the landlord at The Old Bull. Inside, the pub boasts a lot of memorabilia from the BBC Radio 4 programme, including signed pictures of the cast and scripts. The pub itself is a 16th Century inn and serves up traditional English pub grub. The interior features exposed wood beams, snug fireplaces and a traditional cosy feel too. It is also said to have once been a stop-off point for William Shakespeare when he was travelling to Worcester to collect his marriage licence to Anne Hathaway. Nearby is also the Inkberrow Millennium Green, just past the 13th century St Peter's Church with a medieval moat. Elsewhere in the village is another pub called The Bull's Head, along with a shop, a primary school and a village hall. Meanwhile, in the fields surrounding the village, visitors will find the Inkberrow tower, which was built in 1996. However, it is no historic watch tower or countryside chapel - instead it is a phone base station for the mobile network, Orange.

The National Trust-owned property is believed to be the inspiration for Lower Loxley Hall from the show, which is the stately home of characters Nigel and Elizabeth Paragetter. The real Hanbury Hall features 19th-century gardens and large wall paintings from artist James Thornhill. Close to the hall is the church of St Mary the Virgin, which is believed to be the basis of St Stephen's church in Ambridge. Recordings of the church bells have been used in many Archers episodes. At the edge of the village is Morton Hall Gardens, which features a range of plants and an expansive meadow. Inside the English village that inspired one of UK's top TV soaps ANOTHER English village is the inspiration behind the hit series Emmerdale. Esholt, a quaint English village near Bradford, was the original filming location for the popular soap opera Emmerdale from the 1970s to the 1990s. The village still attracts fans who want to see the real-life inspirations behind the show, even though the production moved years ago. The local pub, originally called The Commercial, was permanently renamed The Woolpack because the owner grew tired of constantly changing the sign for filming. Other real locations included Home Farm, a centuries-old estate, and a row of cottages on Bunkers Hill that served as Demdyke Row. The show's departure was prompted by its increasing popularity, as noise from crowds of tourists made filming difficult. In 1997, the crew built a replica of the village on the Harewood Estate, which they still use today. Although Esholt is a quiet village, it is a short drive from the cities of Leeds and Bradford. It is also near Shipley, a UNESCO World Heritage site with historic mills and a scenic cable tramway. There are also six holiday homes from TV shows and films that you can stay at in the UK… with game rooms and hot tubs. Plus, five filming locations in the UK you can visit with movie tours, quaint villages and £49 stays.
