Coca-Cola's 2024 Christmas advert disappoints fans with AI content and missing Santa
Coca-Cola's 2024 Christmas advert has sparked disappointment among fans due to its use of AI-generated content and the absence of Santa Claus. This marks a significant change from previous years, where Santa was a central figure. The initial 15-second clip features no human actors and omits the iconic Santa, leading to viewer backlash on social media. Fans expressed their heartbreak and frustration over the shift in Coca-Cola's advertising approach. A Coca-Cola spokesperson stated that the use of AI reflects the company's commitment to innovation while maintaining its core values. The full minute-long version of the ad includes a brief appearance by Santa, walking away from Coca-Cola trucks.
