A cheeky fox was spotted recreating the beloved John Lewis Christmas advert during the snow - by bouncing up and down on a TRAMPOLINE.
Just like the heartwarming Christmas 2016 advert, a cheeky fox was caught by a family jumping up and down on their snow-covered trampoline, having a great time.
The hilarious moment was captures on camera by Heather Ferreira-Cole, as she watched on with her twin daughters Autumn and Suri.
Heather, a counsellor and hypnotherapist, caught the daft urban fox playing on the trampoline in her back garden in Brixton, south east London, on Sunday afternoon.
The mum-of-two, 43, was doing the washing up at the time and quickly shouted for her seven-year-old daughters to come and look.
She said: "It was incredible - it was just like the John Lewis advert.
"He was bouncing up and down for ages - he looked like he was having a great time.
"It's funny, really, that fox was doing exactly what my daughters wanted to do.
"They wanted to jump on the snowy trampoline - and I have to admit that it did look like great fun.
"It was one of those weird moments that if I hadn't had my phone with me as I was doing the washing up, nobody would have believed me."
The beloved advert, called 'Buster the Boxer', was viewed tens of millions of times online.
The achingly heart-warming clip shows a fox and other garden critters jumping up and down on a family's snow-covered trampoline while their pet boxer dog Buster looked on.
She said: "We've seen foxes in our garden before, and I think this is the only surviving one of a litter that were born last year.
"It was sad seeing the other two had passed away, but I was delighted that this little chap survived, and was doing so well that he was able to have some fun.
"He came around quite often, but I haven't seen it for a while, and it was really sweet to see it had survived winter and was having some fun.
"We've caught him on the trampoline before, but that was when he was a kit with his two siblings."
