"In 1914, World War I, the bloodiest war ever at that time in human history, was well under way. However on Christmas Eve, numerous sections of the Western Front called an informal, and unauthorized, truce where the various front-line soldiers of the conflict peacefully met each other in No Man's Land to share a precious pause in the carnage with a fleeting brotherhood. This film dramatizes one such section as the French, British and German sides partake in the unique event, even though they are aware that their superiors will not tolerate its occurrence."

"Wenn der Krieg mal Pause macht: Es ist Weihnachten im Jahr 1914. An der Westfront stehen sich Deutsche, Franzosen und Briten auf dem Schlachtfeld gegenüber. Doch an diesem einen Abend halten die Soldaten füreinander keine Gewehrkugeln bereit - sondern Champagner. Regisseur Cristian Carion erzählt in seinem faszinierenden Streifen <<Merry Christmas>> von einem aussergewöhnlichen Weihnachtsfest: Deutsche, Franzosen und Briten versuchen sich während des ersten Weltkrieges gegenseitig wegzupusten. Normalerweise. Doch ein einziges Mal kehrt für einen kurzen Moment Ruhe ein und die verfeindeten Soldaten stossen plötzlich miteinander an und knabbern zusammen Schokolade. Wenn da nur nicht der tragische Hintergrund wäre."
"Un fatto realmente accaduto durante la Prima Guerra Mondiale, racconta la storia di due cantanti lirici che si recano sul fronte tedesco la vigilia di Natale per allietare con il loro canto le truppe. Ma dopo la prima strofa di Stille Nacht, il "nemico" scozzese risponde accompagnando la canzone con la cornamusa. Basta poco perché i soldati escano dalle trincee per incontrarsi su quello che, fino ad allora, era il terreno di guerra. Anche il reggimento francese si unisce per festeggiare. Champagne, sigarette, cioccolato, foto e ricordi vengono condivisi fra abbracci e sorrisi. Il prete scozzese che aveva suonato la cornamusa celebra la messa. All'Ave Maria intonato dalla cantante, i soldati non riescono a trattenere le lacrime. Ma la guerra è una macchina inarrestabile, che non può perdonare la "disobbedienza"... (Mymovies)."@it
