Nothing says “holidays” like Coca-Cola’s iconic red trucks… now rendered by a robot that’s never tasted joy or snow. The 2025 AI-generated Christmas ad dropped, and fans are roasting it harder than chestnuts on an open fire—calling it “soulless slop” and threatening to defect to “artist’s soda.” Remember when Coke ads made you tear up over polar bears? Now it’s glitchy reindeer and uncanny elves, like if your uncle tried CGI after three eggnogs. The company calls it “innovative storytelling”; the internet calls it grounds for boycott. Merry AI-mas, indeed.
Coca-Cola’s Christmas advert is AI and people are not feeling festive about it
