Coca-Cola: The Christmas Train is back in service

L’année dernière, le Train de Christmas Coca-Cola avait parcouru quelques régions de France. Aux dernières nouvelles, le Santa Claus a annoncé qu’il reprendra du service à bord de ce transport qu’il affectionne.

Ten French cities will be visited from December 16th to 29th. These include the train stations of Paris, Lille, Strasbourg, Bordeaux, and Metz. A magical experience for the whole family, especially for the children of these cities, who will be counting down the sleeps until then.

A collection shop
Fans and collectors of original Coca-Cola gifts will be delighted to learn that a gift shop will be set up in the last carriage of this train. This will give you the chance to find gifts that will please everyone this Christmas.

Celebrating 80 years of history
This year, the Coca-Cola Train plans to celebrate 80 years of a romantic relationship between Santa Claus and the company.
It must be said that for a long time, it was believed that Coca-Cola had invented the look of Santa Claus as we imagine him today. In fact, it was in 1862 that illustrator Thomas Nast drew a Santa Claus wearing the famous red suit, which Coca-Cola adopted more than seven decades later. His designer, Haddon Sundblom, gave him the warm smile and good-natured attitude that we still recognize to this day in all the advertisements that depict him.

A message of hope
For the fifth consecutive year, Coca-Cola will partner with the Association des Petits Princes, which grants the dreams of children with serious illnesses. This year, the Christmas Train will make the dreams of 50 of these sick children come true.
