With Coca-Cola's iconic festive colours having formed the image of Santa as we know him today, who better to feature in the beverage brand’s first film anthology than the big man in red himself?
On a mission to further spread its ethos of ‘Real Magic’ and human connection, Coca-Cola has released this touching and beautifully-crafted series of seasonal spots entitled The Santa Stories.
Developed and produced in collaboration with WPP Open X and led by VML, Imagine Entertainment and PRETTYBIRD, the short films embody a reminder of the Santa Claus in all of us.
The Note, directed by Bryce Dallas Howard, stars Irish actor Colm Meaney as the lead protagonist, The No Man, whose festive goodwill is restored by a mystery message in a bottle. Ho Ho Heist, directed by Steven Caple Jr, stars actors Octavia Spencer and Scoot McNairy, and is a heist-thriller in which Santa finds himself in jail.
The series forms part of the brand’s wider Christmas marketing campaign The World Needs More Santas, illustrating how real magic multiplies when people embrace their ‘inner Santa’ - the spirit of kindness, generosity and goodwill.
