Holiday season at World of Coca-Cola #ad #worldofcocacola

 FIVE WAYS WORLD OF COCA-COLA IS LIGHTING UP DOWNTOWN ATLANTA THIS HOLIDAY SEASON


 

ATLANTA, Nov. 28, 2022 – The holidays are officially upon us, and today, World of Coca-Cola is kicking off the season by announcing the launch of its annual holiday celebration. Now through early 2023, the Atlanta attraction invites friends and families to experience holiday magic and make memories to last a lifetime with larger-than-life decorations, festive family photo opportunities, seasonal beverages and more. In addition, the iconic Coca-Cola Caravan will visit World of Coca-Cola on Dec. 10 to spread holiday joy over shared experiences and moments of magic.

 

“Each year, we look forward to bringing people together to make memories and celebrate the holidays with us,” said Christophe Lair, Senior Director Retail Operations and Administration. “Coca-Cola has been a part of seasonal celebrations around the world for generations, and World of Coca-Cola has become a must-visit destination and annual tradition for Atlantans and visitors alike looking to experience the magic of the holiday season.”

 

To make the most of every magic moment, don’t miss these five festive experiences, including:

 

  1. Get an Insta-worthy photo with the Coca-Cola Caravan: Since lighting up the small screen in a TV ad that first aired in the mid-1990s, the Coca-Cola Caravan has signaled the start of the festive season for nearly three decades. On Dec. 10 from 11 a.m.-5 p.m., the Caravan will park outside World of Coke for a fun-filled day of holiday celebrations. Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens and former Atlanta Falcons football players DJ Shockley and Harry Douglas will welcome attendees, and guests will enjoy photo ops, festive games and more.

 

  1. Enjoy Holiday Décor Galore: Throughout World of Coca-Cola and outside on the green, guests are surrounded by trees aglow with thousands of twinkling lights and giant decorative ornaments, setting the scene for guests to take and share photos of their time together. Inside, enormous Coca-Cola bottles deck the halls, merry tunes keep spirits bright and festive surprises are around every corner. A special exhibit, “Coca-Cola Christmas around the World,” features historic, holiday-themed Coca-Cola artifacts that celebrate the season. 

 

  1. Sip Exclusive Seasonal Samplings: Year-round, the Taste It! beverage experience features selections from different countries around the world, but during the holiday season, it also includes curated seasonal samplings. This year, the exhibit is offering custom limited time Freestyle mixes such as Coca-Cola Vanilla Swirl, Coke Zero Vanilla Swirl and Sprite Vanilla Frost, among others. QR codes are placed throughout the exhibit to share fun facts and details about the origin of each beverage.

 

  1. Make Memories with Sundblom Santa Claus: Inside the Pop Culture Gallery, visitors are invited to explore the history of the Sundblom Santa Claus through a collection of paintings on permanent display. They may also take part in the festive “My Coke Story” activation that celebrates joy, laughter and memories that come with the holiday season. Select stories will be displayed at the attraction for visitors to read and enjoy.

 

  1. Stock Up on Stocking Stuffers: Before leaving the World of Coca-Cola, guests can take a memento of their visit home with them. The Coca-Cola Store offers a variety of apparel, accessories and commemorative items sure to make ideal holiday gifts and stocking stuffers for family and friends. For those who prefer to shop from the comfort of home, CokeStore.com offers even more holiday goodies.

Fernbank Museum of Natural History brings A Journey to Space #ad

 I was given tickets to explore Fernbank’s Museum of Natural History and their new exhibit - “A Journey to Space”.  The exhibit shows off what it’s like to live in space.  It has a lot of hands on displays for young and old alike.  I took my two college students with me and we all agreed that it was very interesting and fun.




A hands on display about air and sound/air flow in space.


A hands on display about energy and power.


Display on air and water pressure as propulsion.

Of course if you go to the museum, there’s always the year round exhibits to see and the trails to walk outside.





The new exhibit runs until January 1st, so you have time to go see it.  For more information, check out Fernbank’s website.

Seven Ways to Experience Holiday Magic at World of Coca-Cola This Season #ad




ATLANTA, Nov. 17, 2021 – A winter wonderland is taking shape at World of Coca-Cola in downtown Atlanta. Now through Jan. 7, Atlantans and visitors alike are invited to experience thousands of twinkling lights, larger-than-life decorations and festive photo ops throughout the attraction. The annual event is back and brighter than ever before offering limited time exhibits and interactive activations, including a QR code scavenger hunt for secret recipes and historic trivia tidbits, and new seasonal surprises around every corner. Many of the new décor elements pay homage to Coca-Cola Santa, the familiar jovial depiction that was created by artist Haddon Sundblom ninety years ago.

 

“90 years ago, Coca-Cola defined the modern-day image of Santa Claus by commissioning an advertising illustration of a jolly, rosy-cheeked old man,” said Joanna Hobday, Group Director, Retail Operations and Administration. “At World of Coca-Cola, we’re celebrating the brand’s inseparable connection to holidays past, while inviting guests to create new memories and traditions for years to come.”

 

When planning your visit, make a list and check it twice to ensure these seven experiences are included:

 

  1. Snap & Share Santa Selfies: To celebrate 90 years of the classic Coca-Cola Santa – created by illustrator Haddon Sunblom in 1931 – guests can insert themselves into festive holiday scenes, including taking an Instagram-worthy seat on Santa’s lap. To continue the historic holiday journey, visitors can read up on Sundblom history outside of the 3D theater and take in the Sundblom exhibit in the Pop Culture Gallery.

 

  1. Do You See What I See?: Upon entering the lobby, guests are invited to join a “Refreshing Holiday Hunt” to learn about Coca-Cola’s holiday history and discover recipes to impress their friends and family. Guests will search high and low for QR code clues hidden around the attraction, and successful holiday hunters may even discover a secret recipe for Holiday Cookie Coke!

 

  1. Sip Seasonal Beverages: The Taste It! beverage experience features curated seasonal samplings that allow guests to safely taste a variety of flavors. This year, the exhibit is offering Apple Cider Sprite, Gingerbread Coke and Holiday Sprite Mix as well as custom Freestyle Mixes including Coca-Cola Vanilla Swirl, Coke Zero Vanilla Swirl, Sprite Vanilla Frost in addition to Coca-Cola products from around the world. QR codes are placed throughout the exhibit to share fun facts and details about the origin of each beverage.

 

  1. Elf Yourself: In the Hub, guests are greeted by holiday décor galore before embarking on a trip around the globe through World of Coke’s “Christmas Around the World” exhibit. Interactive stickers on plexiglass barricades throughout the attraction allow guests to “Elf Yourself” or “Santa Yourself” as well as pose with snow globes, wrapped gifts, Santa hats, reindeer antlers, snowman accessories and more to make for a joyful photo setting. On weekends, holiday-themed performances from Super Fans round out the spirit of the season.

 

  1. Savor Scents of the Season: A powerful memory trigger, the sense of smell can transport a person back in time, and, for many people, certain scents are inextricably tied to the holidays. World of Coca-Cola’s Scent Discovery exhibit gives guests a deep dive into the anatomy of smell and how it works with the brain to recall memories and influence other senses like taste. Guests are challenged to identify a variety of aromas, including seasonal scents offered only during the holidays, and uncover beverage recommendations based on their favorites.

 

  1. Tales of Holidays Past: The holidays are a time for joy, laughter and making memories that last a lifetime, and the festive “My Coke Story” activation in the Pop Culture Gallery celebrates just that. Guests are invited to share their favorite holiday memories on World of Coca-Cola's complimentary holiday stationery. Select stories will be displayed at the attraction for visitors to read and enjoy.

 

  1. Sample Secret Bites: After a day of fun and festivity, guests can head across the lawn outside World of Coke to the recently opened Bottle Cap Café to satisfy sweet or savory cravings. In addition to healthy snacks, salads, sandwiches and other afternoon treats, the café will feature a limited time only, secret “Holly Jolly” menu item for those that are in the know.

 

Safety First

The health and safety of World of Coca-Cola’s guests and employees are top priorities, and the attraction has adjusted operations in compliance with guidelines from health and government authorities. Precautions include reduced capacity, timed ticket entry, reduced physical contact during transactions, signage to promote social distancing, mandatory face coverings for all ambassadors and guests over the age of two, an adjusted Coca-Cola Polar Bear experience for social distancing and enhanced cleaning routines throughout the attraction. More information is here.
