Are you suggesting there's an evil plot behind this? Think of it this way... Without the mention of Christmas, they can use the ads all winter, as opposed to having to pay for new ones to start in January.

If you will think back, they never have mentioned Christmas. Just gave an impression without actually saying it.

The folks at Coca-Cola are very tactful about advertising. This is because their products are sold all over the world. You are correct about the word Christmas not being used in Coca-Cola advertising. In its place they use Holidays and a great deal of symbolism. The image of Santa Claus is usually associated with Christmas, as is the Christmas Tree, Holly, colored lights, candy canes and extensive use of the colors red and green. Coca-Cola isn't the only company that does this.

Oddly, there isn't a single Coca-Cola appearing in my refrigerator. Funny how that works out.

"They" are changing our lifestyle with their sensitivities about Xmas. If we promoted pork & alcohol for Xmas cheer, & put alcohol in coke, it might encourage Them to go back to from where they came.
Thus solving some of UKs woes. Instead of cowtowing to their idiosyncrasies.

Do you need Christmas mentioned in a Coke ad? Is Christmas not alive in your home and in your heart? Here’s what I suggest... stop watching Fox, hug your family and tell them you love them. That’s where Christmas is... not on TV.
