Our collaboration with Google for festicons comes from the simple insight that consumers want more personal and meaningful ways to celebrate. This initiative, powered by Google Gemini, weaves in AI, art and culture, reinforcing Coca-Cola’s belief that when people come together, they create lasting memories.”
