Dads who dubstep is the theme for Sainsbury's newest family-friendly holiday video.

The U.K retailer released a YouTube video last week featuring a troop of dads in Christmas sweaters performing a routine to a remixed version of the "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy." The ad promotes the range of Christmas sweaters from Tu, Sainsubry's clothing line.
