Branston, renowned for bringing families together around the dinner table, is teaming up with Netflix’s animated film That Christmas to embrace the magic of Christmas. This partnership, brought to life by Activation, brings the holiday spirit directly to supermarket shelves, enhancing visibility and deepening the brand’s connection with families during one of the most important retail periods of the year.
With That Christmas set to premiere on 4 December, Branston’s in-store activations will ensure shoppers are immersed in festive joy from the moment they step in-store. Based on Richard Curtis’s beloved children’s books, the film weaves together tales of love, family, and holiday mishaps, celebrating the timeless spirit of togetherness that makes Christmas so special.
“Bringing That Christmas into the retail space allows us to connect with families in a festive, meaningful way. By integrating the film’s spirit into our promotions, we’re blending Branston’s warmth with the joy of the holiday season.”
The key objective of this campaign is to boost visibility and drive purchases during this crucial period for Branston. Launching exclusively at Sainsbury’s, the first activation features striking snow-capped point-of-sale displays and strategically placed floor stickers, guiding shoppers directly to Branston’s shelves. Shoppers can also take part in the “Win a Christmas to Remember” promotion through the Nectar loyalty program, encouraging both trial and acquisition with the incentive of a high-value reward.
This collaboration between Branston and That Christmas unites two brands with a shared focus on bringing families together. By aligning their messaging with the warmth and nostalgia of festive celebrations, both reinforce their roles as key ingredients for family gatherings.
As the season progresses, more activations will follow, including the launch of limited-edition jars, designed to elevate the in-store experience and drive excitement. Find out more about Branston and That Christmas on the Branston website.
