For her latest venture, Shakira dressed up as a golden sparkling wine bubble and also found a way to donate to charity. The Colombian superstar is this year's celebrity spokesperson for the Freixenet traditional Christmas TV commercial.

Each year, this cava (Spanish sparkling wine from the Catalonia region) company taps into a world-famous celebrity to be the face of its much-awaited holiday TV spot.

In a press conference in Barcelona, Shakira presented the Christmas commercial, which will start airing in Spain on December 9th.

"This year, let's toast so that the sun shines more than ever. The best is yet to come, Merry Christmas" says Shakira in the ad, also alluding to the title of her new album, 'Sale el Sol' ('The Sun Comes Out.')

The singer also took the opportunity to announce that she used the $500,000 EUR ($662,085 USD) honorarium given to her by the Spanish bubbly to finance two schools run by her foundation, Pies Descalzos (Bare Feet Foundation).

One of the schools is in Cartagena, Colombia, and the second one is in Port-Au-Prince, Haiti.
