ATLANTA, Nov. 21, 2016 – A cup of cheer has officially been poured, as the World of Coca‑Cola in Atlanta has launched its holiday celebration. Featuring larger-than-life decorations, special seasonal exhibits and beverages, one-of-a-kind handmade gifts and more, the attraction provides a uniquely Atlanta experience for out-of-town guests and long-time locals alike.

“Coca‑Cola has been a special part of seasonal celebrations for generations, and similarly, the World of Coca‑Cola has become a favorite destination for fans from around the world looking to experience the magic of the holidays,” said General Manager of Retail and Attractions for the World of Coca‑Cola Russell Jacobs. “Each year, we look forward to welcoming guests to make memories and celebrate the holidays with us.”

When you visit the attraction this season, be sure to hit these five holiday highlights:

• Curious about why ol’ Saint Nick always wears red? Learn the true story through the “History of the Coca‑Cola Santa” exhibit. The exhibit features several paintings of the famous Santa that Coca‑Cola commissioned Haddon Sundblom to illustrate in the 1930s.
  
  
• Sample the seasonal flavors in the Taste It! beverage lounge and rate your favorites. Good luck choosing between Gingerbread Coke® and Chocolate Cherry Coke® – or try them both!
  
  
• Step up your Secret Santa game with a handcrafted accessory from the 5by20 artisan collection and join the Coca‑Cola initiative to empower 5 million women entrepreneurs by 2020. Find 5by20 items and other perfect gifts for everyone on your list when you visit The Coca‑Cola Store.
  
  
• Snap and share a selfie with the Coca‑Cola Polar Bear, and capture a group shot aboard Santa’s sleigh. Let the world know you’re a fan using #WorldofCocaCola, and you might even see your photo on World of Coca‑Cola social media channels.
  
  
• Give the gift that keeps on giving! Sharing the magic with a World of Coca‑Cola Annual Pass means you can create new memories year-round.

There are more than five, but we had to stop the list somewhere. Visit and see why people all over the world keep coming back to the World of Coca‑Cola.
