Coca Cola has always had a way with the holidays. I can remember back to my childhood when the Coca Cola polar bears were featured in the commercials. Something about these commercials made me feel warm and happy on the inside, like it was officially the holiday season when they premiered. Now that they’ve appeared again, it’s safe to say Christmas is just around the corner.
From polar bears to humans, these commercials are a reminder that this is the time of year when we should be all be giving and worry-free. They convey the message that despite all the crises and issues during the past year (the recession, the crisis in Darfur and Haiti, etc.), all we have to do is drink an ice cold Coca Cola to feel more at ease.
To spread that Christmas joy, here is a list of the top 5 Coca Cola Christmas commercials since the 90s.
