The best Christmas advert

This year’s Christmas advert from Sainsbury’s (a famous British supermarket) – Christmas is for sharing. Inspired by real events from 100 years ago, it commemorates the extraordinary events of Christmas Day, 1914, when the guns fell silent and two armies met in no-man’s land, sharing gifts – and even playing football together. 
The chocolate bar featured in the ad is on sale now at Sainsbury’s. All profits (50p per bar) will go to The Royal British Legion and will benefit our armed forces and their families, past and present. 



If you enjoy the ad, I recommend you to see all the sources and references they have used following this link
