Waitrose Christmas advert 2024: who stole the bauble dessert - how to watch part two

• Waitrose has finally resolved its Christmas advert cliffhanger.
• The supermarket has released the second part after weeks of anticipation.
• Sweet Suspicion has come to a conclusion as the mystery is solved.

Waitrose’s all-star Christmas advert has come to a dramatic conclusion as the dessert thief has been revealed.

TV audiences have been left on tenterhooks since the start of November, when the first part of the supermarket’s shock two-part festive commercial dropped. It left the question of who stole the bauble dessert unresolved and left people trying to figure it out.

The second part finally arrived during the final of The Great British Bake Off. It comes almost three weeks after the initial all-star Sweet Suspicion advert caught attention upon release.

Waitrose’s advert featured a star-studded cast including actors from HBO’s Succession and BBC’s Fleabag. The Detective, played by Matthew Macfadyen, teased viewers on social media that the reveal would come on Tuesday November 26.
