“The holidays are all about coming together with the people you love, sharing experiences and making memories,” said General Manager of Retail and Attractions for the World of Coca-Cola Russell Jacobs. “There’s no better place to do that than at the World of Coca-Cola, where holiday fun is now in full swing.”

You’ve Got Mail! Letters from the Coca-Cola Polar Bear

This holiday season and year-round, send a surprise to friends and family by requesting a personal invitation to the World of Coca-Cola from the Coca-Cola Polar Bear himself. The letters will be mailed directly to them and are the perfect way to send a little holiday happiness to someone special.

Christmas Cheer Inside and Out

Before guests enter the World of Coca-Cola, they will encounter brilliantly lit trees and larger-than-life ornaments – one of which was hand painted by the popular Atlanta artist Steve Penley. Pemberton Place sets the perfect scene for fun and memorable photos with friends and family.

Inside the attraction, giant seasonally inspired Coca-Cola bottles, red ornament trees and a life-size Santa painting offer guests photo opportunities galore. Holiday-themed Coca-Cola artifacts are incorporated throughout the attraction and in the new exhibits “Coca-Cola Christmas Around the World” and “History of the Coca-Cola Santa.”

Very Merry Shopping at the Coca-Cola Store

The Coca-Cola Store at the World of Coca-Cola is the perfect place to get unique gifts you can’t find anywhere else. During the holiday season, the store expands its collection of holiday ornaments, figurines, villages and more. If you’re searching for gift ideas, look no further than the cozy pajamas, classic kitchenware and cuddly stuffed Coca-Cola Polar Bears in the store.

Savor the Flavor of the Holidays

Starting on Friday, Nov. 28, guests can taste seasonal beverages Gingerbread Coke and Chocolate-Covered Cherry Coke in the Taste It! beverage lounge. Take home complimentary recipe cards to recreate the specialty drinks at home or for your next Christmas party.

Sprite Cranberry and Sprite Cranberry Zero are also back by popular demand, offering a refreshing blend of traditional Sprite and a splash of sweet and tart cranberry notes. The limited-edition beverages are available for sampling at the World of Coca-Cola and will appear on store shelves through the end of the year.

Selfies with the Polar Bear

As always, the friendly 7-foot-tall Coca-Cola Polar Bear will be on hand to give giant bear hugs and pose for photos. Guests can tag their photos in social media using the hashtag #polarbearselfie for the chance to be featured on the attraction’s website or social media channels.

Holiday Storytelling

When guests visit the World of Coca-Cola this holiday season, they are invited to share their holiday stories. Many fans have special traditions that incorporate Coca-Cola into the holidays – like leaving a glass-bottle Coca-Cola for Santa on Christmas Eve. Guests can write down their memories in the Pop Culture gallery at the World of Coca-Cola to be shared on the My Coke Story display wall.

Visitors also can share their holiday photos at the World of Coca-Cola by using the hashtag #worldofcocacola or #saveitforsanta for a chance to be featured on the attraction’s website or social media channels.
