The Coca-Coal Christmas campaign reminds us that the Real Magic at Christmas takes place when we connect with one another.
Coca-Cola, the Philippines’ most-loved beverage brand, heralds
this year’s season with “Buksan ang Magic ng Pasko,” a holiday campaign that celebrates the real
magic of community and togetherness. The multi-faceted campaign carries, at its heart a simple
message of festive joy and inclusion; reminding us that real magic is in the moments of connection we
share with others.
“Most of us grew up with Coca-Cola. As a brand, we consider ourselves fortunate to have been given
the opportunity to be part of every Filipino table and witness the real magic of human connections,
especially during Christmas. From celebrating every occasion to being a source of comfort – Coke
serves as that uplifting pause that connects people, in friendship and in community, over a meal or a
glass of Coke – and we see this even more pronounced during Christmas,” says Cesar Gangoso,
Coca-Cola Marketing Director for Philippines, Vietnam, and Cambodia.
celebrations with a full line up of experiences that people can enjoy. This includes a display of
creative out-of-home images that celebrate people, colorful packs, lights and sound festival, well-
decorated bottling facilities all over the country, and the infamous Coca-Cola truck going around to
surprise 10 local communities.
Gangoso adds, “Christmas for most Filipinos has been a bit different for the past two years. However,
what has always been consistent is the familiar comfort that family and friends bring. This year is no
different, and just like in the past, Coca-Cola will continue to be part of everyone’s story.”
Coca-Cola’s Real Magic brand philosophy believes that magic is everywhere. It is alive in quiet
moments and in grand celebrations. It is in every new experience discovered and nostalgic memories
remembered. It is real in shared moments with people we love and even with our community, whether
these connections are made physically or virtually.
Of course, Christmas will not be the same without iconic films. Buksan ang Magic ng Pasko is
anchored by a new short film and supported by a series of activations across digital channels
including influencer partnerships and in-store activations. The new film, directed by Sam Brown of
Rogue Films and created by dentsuMB UK, embraces and celebrates human kindness with a
renewed relevance for the world we live in today. Its uplifting tale shows a boy whose imagination and
efforts gather a community’s goodwill at Christmas, creating a shared moment of magic around a
festive meal and a Coke.
Coca-Cola Philippines has a series of activities for this holiday season. Buksan ang magic ng Pasko!
