The Campaign

This ad recreates the so-called ‘Christmas Truce’ that took place during the First World War. An event that has become part of popular culture in the UK. The chocolate bar featured in the ad went on sale in Sainsbury’s stores across the country. All profits went to the UK’s leading veterans’ charity, The Royal British Legion. More than one million bars of chocolate were sold, raising over £500,000. Proof that a Christmas ad can do more than just sell things. It can also do good.
