Stay out of politics and stick to selling Coke...

where are the magical coca cola adds, this is nothing compare to all the years before, very disappointing and i don't like the 'message' at all, for refugees most of them hate christmas, especially the ones in europe

[mickelvaessen]

Garbage. Has nothing to do with Christmas, but more about immigration/refugees (message is clear). I like the old commercial (with the trucks), because the old commercial gives you the real Christmas feeling.

If Santa really acted like a modern refugee, he'd stone Peter for his haram cross dressing.

This really is terrible. So amateurish in its ‘creative strategy’ and execution. This is the inevitable consequence of woke millennial types filling the ranks of Coca-Cola’s marketing department and contracted advertising agencies. In this case, the campaign was produced by Santo and led by the creative mind of Sebastian Wilhelm. Born in 1992 (i.e. he’s a millennial), he’s worked in Buenos Aires, London and Amsterdam. I’m speculating, but based on this information, he is likely to be what David Goodheart would call an ‘Anywhere’.


So when Santo pitch an idea to Coca-Cola which touches on these ‘divisive times’ and extols the virtues of acceptance and compassion, it resonates with everyone in the room. Everyone congratulates themselves on how clever the campaign is, how relevant it is and how it creates a nice warm fuzzy feeling of compassion, inclusiveness and love.


Except it doesn’t, at least not with the majority of people. It will be seen for what it is – cold, heartless and overtly ideological. For a mass market product like Coca-Cola to market itself in this way demonstrates a complete lack of understanding of how real people think.


What makes this particularly disappointing is that Coca-Cola are responsible for one of the best Christmas adverts of all time. ‘Holidays are Coming’ is an enduring classic because it depicts wholesome scenes of familial warmth, love, wonder and enchantment. Most people, even millennials, yearn for this and therefore it resonates on a much deeper level.


Also, Santa would never drink Coke Zero.

the age of woke corporate capitalism has really gotten old

[jipke]

Too bad YouTube stopped showing thumb-downs, because if I recall this clip had a massive number of dislkes, like thousands.

[gasdekks]

free Palestine btw

[thetruth]

Thats it just flushed my supply of coke through the toilet and burned the plastic bottles in my woodstove!

[thekangaroo]

0:13 - Dear Santa, please I want a scooter a bicycle with a dress a telescope a ball. Thanks. Love you, Peter.

[MrGmennink]

I need more PEPSI in my life!

[SimMaster]

[dreeke]

[James]

When is the next time the Coca-Cola advert going to be on

[maaikets]

[AADave]

Many Christians forget an insult to god demands correction with or without violence

[thebuddhawilliams]

It is 2019, Coca-Cola. The fact that you cast the Santa Claus in your commercial as a white male is offensive, quite frankly. I don't care if he is a European mythological figure. People of color deserve representation. If nobody wants to create new, original POC characters, then we deserve what others have already created.








It's 2019, Coca-Cola. Do better.

[friedrichwilhelmvonsteuben]

get woke, go broke, need to change the slogan, Never Coca-Cola!

[LafayetteP]

Awful political left wing brainwashing add... we have exactly the same on television in The Netherlands. Was just looking how the Christmas add is in other countries and other years. I remember it to be BEAUTIFUL in the past.
