British grocer Waitrose on Sunday launched #HomeforChristmas, a holiday ad that follows a robin—apparently the U.K.'s favorite bird—trying to make it home to those he loves. 

The voyage is based on the actual migration of Scandinavian robins. Created by adam&eveDDB, Rogue Films and The Mill, our heroic robin crosses mountains and seas, narrowly missing the claws of a predator, before arriving at a dish that a young girl has set out for him.

Waiting there is a Waitrose mince pie and the robin's companion.
