Chick-fil-A launches the return of its annual holiday campaign today with a new animated short film to celebrate and encourage viewers with an uplifting message of hope. In the film, the main character of Chick-fil-A's 2019 animated holiday film, Sam, returns to help restore the missing spark in her town. With a little help from a new friend, she discovers she can be a source of hope and inspiration and light the way for her community. The driving message of the animated film and campaign is that we can all make a difference in the lives of those around us by offering encouragement to each other. The new two-minute film launches digitally on Nov. 17 on chick-fil-a.com/sparkhope and on Thanksgiving Day on NBC.
