As streaming platforms are in nearly every modern home, Coca-Cola knew this was the perfect way to engage with established and new customers.

The logo shown at the beginning of each film also features two Coke bottles and the words Real Magic.

The Coca-Cola film is centered around a mom who seems to live the same day over and over and needs a little Christmas cheer. Renowned Brazilian director, Vellas, directs this film.
Next in the lineup of the Coca-Cola film series is a classic French romance story. The film is titled Les Petis Mondes de Noel and was directed by French director J.B. Braud. This short film follows two people who happen to catch each other’s eye through a store’s window. The last short film in the beautiful Coca-Cola series is Christmas Bites and directed by Alex Buono. This film happens to feature a vampire who is not with the Christmas spirit at all and is actually anti-Santa. The vampire goes to meet his future in-laws and the visit takes a turn for the best when Santa clause himself shows up.
