The Olipop Christmas ad campaign is here, blending nostalgia, heart, and a mission to disrupt Big Soda with a whimsical holiday story. In its latest holiday initiative, Olipop introduces us to Oli and Pop -- two lovable yetis who symbolize the brand’s refreshing approach to soda.
Inspired by claymation holiday classics like Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and Coca-Cola’s iconic seasonal ads, Olipop’s "A New Kind of Holiday Cheer" reimagines the festive narrative. Directed by Screen Novelties and set to Pomplamoose’s soulful track, "Always in the Season," the ad tells the story of Oli and Pop, misunderstood by their town but eventually embraced after a heartfelt gesture of gift-giving.
With this campaign, Olipop spreads holiday cheer and reinforces its mission to challenge Big Soda. As the brand grows rapidly, aiming for market penetration of over 80% in the coming years, the ad reminds consumers that change can be magical -- and it tastes great too.
