- Sainsbury's brought the Perfect Christmas to the Wirral with a magical transformation. Snow, a Christmas tree, festive food and drink, the Alcester Male Voice Choir , stunning lights and decorations helped Seabank Road have the Perfect Christmas and for the finale fireworks lit up the sky on December 18th 2010.
Thank you, Sainsburys
Wow! Can we not just take in the moment of peace and goodwill of the video without tearing people down? Sad state of affairs these days. God Bless us everyone! Merry Christmas!
Think it's great to see everyone together having a great time - can only be one winner - hope the cameraderie carries on into the New Year. Happy Days to all.
It matters not that this took place 7 years ago, it still gives me a warm feeling inside. Furthermore it demonstrates that there is still goodness out there. -Happy Christmas, Everyone!
Well I thought this was lovely. What a lovely gesture. A great way to bring people together..
Lovely too see people have in a lovely time

How wonderful that must have been. Congratulations Sainsburys and a Very Merry Christmas!!!
I naturally smile at this because it’s so hart warming to see happy people in the Christmas spirit
Looks great Seabank Road, well done, Wishing all your road a Super Christams and a healthy New year. Enjoy being spoilt. Jill x
I love the ads and the videos!! If I ever get across the pond, I will HAVE to stop into a Sainsbury's and check it out. Seems absolutely marvelous!!
Markies is better
My Mum is the checkout manager at one of the local Sainsbury's stores (Prenton) and went along to the party as one of the representatives. In the nearly 25 years as a Sainsbury's employee she said Saturday night was the proudest she has felt working for the company as what they did for Mia and the residents of Seabank Road was amazing and most importantly thoroughly enjoyed by everyone who attended!!
What a lovely idea and its nice to spread good cheer, we all need some I hope they had a really good time just wish we could all have been there. Well Done Seabank Street..............
the xmas spirit is alive and well!
Christmas is always a good day
So, instead of helping a lot of underprivileged people who have never experienced a proper Christmas, Sainsbury's helped a street of relatively well off people have a slightly different Christmas. Good job Sainsbury's, good job.
Looks great Seabank Road, well done, Wishing all your road a Super hristams and a healthy New year. Jill x
Looks amazing!
Congratulations to the winning street! Merry Christmas and commiserations to all the unlucky entries - myself included!
Sainsburys did a fantastic job. The street looked magical. I hope everyone enjoyed the experience it was a lovely idea. HAPPY CHRISTMAS everyone
i would just like to say thank you so much to Sainsburys and everyone involved for creating such a perfect night for us..
If any of you are unsure if we deserved it, have a look at mountinsformia
oh and we did have real snow, the fake snow was there to make it look extra special.. and it was around minus 9.. cold.. thank god for the heaters.
Merry Christmas everyone :)
What a gorgeous street, I tried and failed, but how lovely. It looks tremendous. Lucky street. Wish I'd gotten a Hamper! Merry Christmas everyone.
Thank you!
Music is fantastic

absolutely fantastic well done we entered but obviously didn't win , but its lovely to see you all having a great xmas , well done
Looks just PERFICK! Hope you all enjoyed yourselves!
Would like to wish you all a happy and healthy 2111.
Can I say that this WAS filmed last Saturday night - I was at a party in the next street & we loved the firework display that was set off in the field between the 2 streets! - & there was snow - about 4 inches fell on the Wirral on Friday night but less by the shore where this was filmed....
Congratulations Seabank road! It looks like you all had a wonderful time.
they don't call it GREAT Britain for nothing so homesick this is making me cry love it so much xxxxxxxxxxxxxmas
Woo! Go Lower Heswall!! Glad it came here!! :)
We entered, gutted we didn't win but fair play Seabank Road, it looked fab!
Who’s here in dec 2020, almost 2021? Only me yeh.
Oh well done to the street that won.I entered too,but didnt get the support clicks! You must have got a lot of support well done!! It looks fantastic ;)
I like the way Sainsburys is thinking, " everyone should have a perfect christmas" but nah, instead we are only going to do one street.
wow! when I saw Seabank Road in the email I wondered if it would be the one near where I grew up but thought it was just a coincidence - well done guys!
Brilliant! Well done Sainsburys and Seabank Avenue :)
It's not the Alcester Choir. It's the Choir on the original Sainsbury's Perfect Christmas 2010 - Colne Valley Male Voice Choir, Slaithwaite, West Yorkshire. I should know I am a member and sang at the original recording for the advert. The sound was repeated for "............the Winning Street" D. Hirst

awwww that is gorgeous 💞💋
Music was special arrangement of All Through the Night - actually recorded by Colne Valley Male Voice Choir from Huddersfield.
omg do they do this every year? if not they should!!❤️❤️🎄🎄
LolaJane b ikr, they really should.
I think that they would have come under a better light if they had done this for people that need it more. Their target audience is middle class people though, although that doesn't make a lot of difference since middle class people I'm sure would have liked to see this go towards people that need it more.
@ Sean O'Donovan: So called 'middle class' people couldn't give a frig for anyone but themselves because they are arseholes.
I'm not surprised that it's a middle class suburban street in England that won. (perhaps an estate or a homeless shelter may have been more in need, however the winners are the target customers). I am aware that various Sainsbury's shops in the city in which I live actively and consistently raise money for various charities all year round and they are also primarily a business.
This is what people need in neighborhoods where they're not wealthy.Or they don't have the money for presents and food and decorations.That's where it needs to be done.Because even our young are in those neighborhoods too people forget sometimes
Merry Christmas everyone!
What a fantastic sight. Just wish it had been me but unfortunately my street is covered in snow as is vertually impassable. Best wishes to all.
WHY does anything ANY company or well off person does, always have to be a source of contention for so many. Does anything in your life make you even a little happy or does your happiness come from negativity and putting down others. Try seeing things through the innocent eyes of a child, ANY child>>>> you may just enjoy a moment in time.
Que belleza !!!
Professional firework displays from industry professionals....
should be banned except on 5th Nov!
Oh Xena... go away.
Like my street every christmas. :)

How cute are Sainsbury's? :D
This is cool.
@davelumby
The Wirral being a peninsular is surrounded by water on three sides and therefore doesn't get much snow, the only time it has snowed here for any significant time was Friday 17th December for 1 hour leaving at most 3/4 inches of snow and that was not everywhere!!
@Seanod123 and whom, would you suggest, i dont beleive it matters on a area that a person lives in or what if any CLASS they are from, this is about a young girl her family and her street, having a treat from a vote from the general public< and why not ?
I don't see anyone complaining when companies advertise without doing anything nice for people - why complain when they advertise by giving stuff away for free?
Sainsbury's are there to make a profit, so they're going to try and make a profit, obviously.
If you don't like it, don't tell others about it or don't think about it - guaranteed if your street was given this you wouldn't turn it down because 'it's just a business advertising'...
Amazing,thanatos UA-cam.
I imagine Seabank Road doesn't have to have artificial snow now for Christmas!
I was at this
Brilliant
It's somewhat strange that this street has no natural snow while much of Liverpool received 6" on 17th December!
@AliJDB I still have a valid point. This isn't a nationalised TV commercial, seems a bit redundant.
Sainsburys, the only two face hypocrites of a supermarket!
Everyday rather than reduce the items they prefer to bin them if they do not sell for 50% to keep up their deluded impression of snobbery.
I have seen them take the items of the shelf and dispose of them in bin bags, when asked what the person was doing was informed that because they did not sell at 50% and it is the last day the items can be sold they throw them in the garbage.
Now Morrisons are exceptional, they understand not all customers have money to burn and being on low income they understand its better that the food be sold and eaten than let it go to waste. They reduce all items no matter what they are to 9p.
I have had a full cooked chicken meat joints the lot, because they would rather sell at a loss than see good food be destroyed for no other purpose than profit.
So cut the bullshit Sainsburys, you charge more for even basic items in comparison to other supermarkets, one day people will wake up to the illusion that in someway your stuff is better because its more expensive, you even use the same companies on your basics yet people are to stupid to realise they are paying more for the same products, i hope one day they wake up and you go broke!

Please stop with the horrible comments: The winner was my girlfriends cousin who has only just come out of hospital from having a stroke and ending in a coma with locked in syndrome. She deserved it.
I think the street looks wonderful but I also could not help but wish it had gone to a less affluent looking neighbourhood who might, possibly, have needed it more. Those big houses, wide street, and so on do make a perfect picture and advert for Sainsbury's, don't they?
Search Omer Giramondo for this man's perfect Christmas
what is this music??? love it
Looks beautiful , but would have been more wonderful to have gave this to a poorer neighbourhood , or the homeless hostals where it would have been more beneficial and appreciated .
So many families cant afford a good xmas this year due to the recession and benefit cut backs.
*this was filmed 12 years ago. damn.*
forget - that some poeple hate this time of the year.....
Dead Pool America
My mum hates it because of the stress
@petujaymz
Pretty sure there were a couple included in the video actually.
If they waited another day, there woudl have been real snow!!!
@claireycole
it was won on behalf of a girl who had a major stroke just weeks after her 21st birthday and now is paralysed and has locked in syndrome! NOT A FIX!
Oh yes. Police men and high-viz vests. How magical.
@cloudssix Sainsburys do a fair amount of charity, for comic and sport relief, etc. But this was part of their advertising budget, it's clearly not claiming to be doing immense amounts of good, it's supposed to be making people feel warm and fuzzy and want to go to Sainsburys and buy booze and sweets and christmas food, which an advert full of people who are underprivileged and don't have very much would not do.
why would people dislike the video i know more people like it but why did 51 people dislike it
Everytime there will be someone who is against it whether it's about.
thanks, you reminded me to dislike it!
Hans Seen a yr is the best regards to my ex CW'S
I was born the year after 2010 in April 26
So you’re 7 years old
I understand they want to advertise, but couldn't they have done this in a poorer area?
@cloudssix It's still part of their advertising budget, and they may be planning to use it for next years run of christmas adverts, since they did it so close to christmas.
The alternative is paying a bunch of actors to stand around on a rented street in mid-August to pretend to enjoy some food and watch some fireworks, which would cost more and do less good, at least this way some allbeit comfortable middle class people got some free stuff they probably enoyed
@cloudssix
It was a competition that ANYONE could have entered as I did on the Sainsburys website!
@petergoudies
Peter,
how do you know about the people on this street, please? i for one know that THEY FULLY deserved this.. the party was to celebrate my 22year old best freind being allowed to come home from hospital after spending 13 months in their, due to having a massive stroke, she now suffers from 'locked in syndrome' we entered this compition to thank the neighbours and wider community that have helped us get mia home!!
Also its a compition, so obviously everyone cannot win!
@MuppetWorld My point is that Sainsbury's could have done a better job campaigning for the underprivileged. Everyone loves to see sad people get happy.
You are so nice :)

Why did use need atrificial snow, the whole of Briton is covered. We are freezing out butts off here in N.Ireland. When did all this happen anyway...?
if people wouldnt be selfish... those lights are expensive. they need a lot of electricity. they are POLLUTING (light pollution). birds cant find places because of strong lights. instead having small christmas tree and cute snowman in this small (part of?) town, they brought commercial LasVegas in it >.
cool,
@cloudssix
& the point is what exactly? I cannot beleive the amount of negativity at this video!!! Sainsburys ran a competition which anyone on any street could enter. Do you all react in the same way to other competition winners who win significant prizes or Lottery winners each week? Get a grip, people please!
How come if the competition finished on 10 December the Police were wearing poppies?
this is when l was 2
Paige smith Omg,you're only 9 years old.
@cath1503
For those who are posting cynical comments Google Mountains For Mia. That should be enough humble you!
Not being picky, rather being nostalgic. I miss the old carbon filament Christmas lights. These LED's, nice as they are [I guess??], are so cold looking. They do not comfort me with what is the warmth of Christmas. Shame.
The larger ones that are shaped like the old fashioned ones you'd hang on the outside of your home are getting better, but yeah, they're really bright. It's just how intense the light from them can be sometimes. I LOVE the vibrancy of the color but sometimes they ARE just too much. I too love the softer look from the old fashioned lights. I've seen the two used together to good effect.
Old videoz 😢
@murphy341 don't you get the point? they did something nice with a hidden motive. its designed in such a way to play on your emotions and it has worked on you. to claim it hasn't shows you are in obvious denial.
I bet you will mention this to at least 1 other person and say how nice it was, which is exactly what they want. its designed to exploit you in such a subtle way you would not even notice it.
Yep and it snowed the very next day anyways lol
well by the looks of it they hadn't had any snow - hence the fake snow!!!!!!!!!! did u not see the before/after footage???
why did they use fake snow when theres snow EVERYWHERE!!!
James Court .fake snow ..when real snow is about ...

@AngelTheTigress But that wouldn't have made a good advert, it would make people sad that there are homeless people out there even at christmas and it wouldn't make them wanna buy stuff from sainsburys. This was advertising, not a do-good project.
It’s not very realist, start of the video shows a Sainsbury’s Van delivering in the snow!
its good to see big compaines helping....about time to. just dont bail out the parasites (Bankers)
@souljaryanboy is that the most educated, comment you can make, how very sad.......
Anybody in 2017 or 2018 anyone probably not XDDD
Who's whacking in 2017 or 18
@bushnut568
I never said they braught anyone in, learn to read.
They had to show a black(ish?) girl for about 3 seconds for racial balance. Like I said, look how happy these rich white people are.
