Selling Christmas: The Vintage Ads That Created Modern Christmas

Close your eyes and picture classic Christmas imagery: the glow of lights, the sound of jingling bells, and Santa Claus holding a bottle of Coca-Cola. This video revisits these enduring images, exploring how they were shaped by "Christmas commercials" and "advertisements" over the years. We take a look at "vintage TV" segments featuring a "Coca-Cola commercial" and other "old commercials," offering a journey back to the "nostalgia" of holidays past.
