However, the chocolat’s fortune begins to change when the stormy night turns into a rainy one and he sees the sprout waving at his window. 

The advert takes cues from popular romcoms, including Bridget Jones's Diary, and sees the Bounty crying at home in pink slippers

The Bounty finally finds the one he has been searching for and takes the sprout in his hand as they go into the evening together.

Cemre Cudal, Mars Wrigley’s Head of Christmas said: ‘Our film highlights a love affair between two outsiders – Bounty and Sprout. He described the unlikely of couple, but he did not deny that they were a true love.  

After watching this film, I dare anyone to not fall in love Bounty. And if after all that, you still can’t bring yourself to love a Bounty this Christmas, we’ll take them back as part of our Bounty Return Scheme in January.

He said, “Because No Bounty Should Be Left Alone at the Bottom of a Celebrations Tub,”
