Did Coca-Cola create Christmas, and did Coke invent the modern Santa Claus? In this video, we break down the true history of Coca-Cola Christmas advertising and how the brand helped shape the Christmas we recognize today.
Coca-Cola wasn’t always a winter drink. But in 1931, Coke solved a massive seasonal sales problem by turning Santa Claus into the ultimate “winter spokesperson” through Haddon Sundblom’s iconic paintings, a consistent annual campaign, and storytelling that sold the feeling of the season (nostalgia, comfort, togetherness) instead of the product.
In How Coca-Cola Created Christmas, we cover:
• Why Coca-Cola’s winter sales mattered, and how Robert Woodruff’s advertising philosophy changed the brand
• How Santa’s look evolved before Coke, and how Coca-Cola’s version became the pop-culture standard
• The characters and rituals Coke built next (Sprite Boy, Peanuts, polar bears, and the red Christmas truck “Holidays Are Coming” campaign
• How Coke’s holiday blueprint influenced Starbucks' Red Cup season, Pepsi’s counter-positioning, and Apple’s modern emotional “short film” holiday ads.
Come discover the secret story behind the Christmas we think we've always known...
