A song raising money for a Folkestone charity will go head to head with the X Factor winner for this year's Christmas number one.
A host of singing stars have joined together to record a version of The Farm's classic All Together Now.
Among them are former X Factor winner Alexandra Burke, Engelbert Humperdinck, The Proclaimers and Leo Sayer.
They all feature in the song's official video which was released this week showing them all recording their parts.
It is a re-recording of the 1990 song, which tells the story of the day when the soldiers sang carols, exchanged gifts and played football in No Man’s Land.
The collaboration called The Peace Collective reflects on the famous Christmas truce in 1914 when British and German soldiers went over the top not to the sound of chattering machine gun fire but to actual chatter between the men and football match in No Man's Land.
It is hoping to promote peace and is raising money for the Red Cross but also for Folkestone based charity, the Shorncliffe Trust.
The trust are working towards building an education and heritage centre near the Shorncliffe Military Cemetery for future generations and visitors to learn about the First World War.
The track is released on December 15 and is also available for pre-order now by texting the words 'Get Peace' to 84222 which costs £1.
It is also available to pre-order on iTunes.
