World Of Coke Welcomes Most Wonderful Time Of The Year

ATLANTA, GA - From World of Coca-Cola: At World of Coca-Cola in Atlanta, the most wonderful time of the year has officially arrived. Starting today through Jan. 1, guests can experience sparkling lights, larger-than-life decorations, signature seasonal beverages and more as part of the attraction’s holiday celebration.

“Just as Coca-Cola has always been a special part of the holidays, World of Coca-Cola has become one of Atlanta’s must-experience holiday activities,” said Joanna Hobday, Group Director, Retail Operations and Administration. “Every year, couples, friends and families visit us to see what special holiday drinks we’ll have – and of course to check out our over-the-top decorations and limited-time exhibits.”

Merry and Bright – Inside and Out

Brand new this year, guests enter Pemberton Place by walking through a 28-foot-tall ornament of holiday lights. The rest of the lawn glitters with trees wrapped in thousands of lights and larger-than-life ornaments creating a picture-perfect winter wonderland. All that’s missing is the snow!

Inside the attraction, the extravaganza continues. With ornament trees and giant holiday-themed Coca-Cola bottles around every corner, guests will feel as if they’ve stepped inside a snow globe.

Sip on the Season

Signature seasonal beverages bring an extra splash of cheer to World of Coca‑Cola during the holidays. Apple Pie Sprite makes its debut at the sampling bar alongside Gingerbread Coke, a crowd favorite for years. Guests won’t want to miss the limited-edition Coca-Cola Jolly Cherry Vanilla, Seagram’s Ginger Ale Cheery Cherry Vanilla and Sprite Merry Berry – all available in the Freestyle area of the Taste It! beverage lounge.

History of the Holidays

Coca-Cola’s connection to the holiday season comes to life through special exhibits around the attraction:

• Guests can take a holiday-themed tour of Coca-Cola ads and artifacts from around the world when they visit “A Coca-Cola Christmas Celebration.”
• Ever wondered if the fact that Santa wears Coke red is more than just a coincidence? “History of the Coca-Cola Santa” provides an inside look at the relationship between St. Nick and The Coca-Cola Company. The exhibit features paintings of the famous Santa that Coca-Cola originally commissioned Haddon Sundblom to illustrate in the 1930s.

Seasonal Snaps

Guests can find festive photo opportunities galore as they explore, from the selfie station aboard Santa’s sleigh to the 7-foot-tall Coca-Cola Polar Bear, who is always ready for a photo and a bear hug. Photos shared using #WorldofCocaCola could be featured on the attraction’s website or social media channels.

Refreshing Gift Ideas

Guests can also knock out some holiday shopping during their visit. The Coca-Cola Store at World of Coca-Cola offers a wide selection of apparel, glassware, home goods and other items for the whole family. It’s easy to find that special gift for the Coke fans on your list, or shop online at CokeStore.com.

With World of Coca-Cola Annual Passes as stocking stuffers, the fun doesn’t end when the holidays do. In addition to one year of unlimited visits to World of Coca-Cola, the Annual Pass allows for expedited entry and multiple discounts, including $4 off General Admission tickets for up to four guests per visit.
