Overview

Coca-Cola India announced a multi‑brand festive activation programme that will extend its beverage footprint across Maharashtra and other Indian states during the 2026 festive season. The initiative brings the company’s diverse portfolio – including Coca‑Cola, Maaza, Sprite, Kinley, Minute Maid and others – directly to consumers through neighbourhood housing societies, pandals, retail outlets, food hubs and on‑the‑go locations such as transit routes.

Brand‑specific Experiences

  • Maaza will host the "Maaza Society Anandotsav" in numerous housing societies, offering winning neighbourhoods prizes and a chance to meet brand ambassadors Riteish and Genelia.
  • Coke On Wheels will operate mobile kiosks that deliver chilled Coca‑Cola beverages at busy festive hotspots and transit corridors.
  • Sprite introduces the "Sprite X Spicy" experience, creating a pandal trail where consumers can undertake spicy food challenges, collect stamps in a Sprite X Spicy Stamp Book, and upon gathering three stamps enter a lucky draw for a trip to Korea, while also receiving exclusive Sprite merchandise.
  • Kinley will supply packaged drinking water with special festive labels to traffic police on duty, and will extend a celebration for the officers and their families that includes a surprise pandal featuring traditional experiences.
  • Minute Maid will conduct on‑the‑go sampling at high‑footfall pandal hotspots, allowing consumers to taste its fruit‑based drinks such as Nimbu Fresh, Mixed Fruit and Apple.
  • The company will also partner with popular local eateries and food hubs to roll out special meal combos designed to create an "AAAAAH with Coke" moment during festive dining.
