Alongside the special labels, the brand will also launch a truck tour and a [television commercial](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coca-cola-holidays-are-coming) for a complete holiday activation. In order to support those in need this season, Coca-Cola will add special holiday labels to its bottles. Customers will then be able to scan the labels with their smartphone and upload the images online. For each image shared, Coca-Cola will make a donation to FareShare, which in turn provides meals to those who are hungry and vulnerable. Coca-Cola has always had a special association with Christmas and this year the brand is using its power to make the holidays better for those in need. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 48% | Activity: 35% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Social Good](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialgood) > [Charity](https://www.trendhunter.com/charity) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Charitable Promotions:** Brands are partnering with charities to create special promotions that provide donations to those in need. - **QR Code Donation Technology:** QR codes are being used by brands to allow customers to easily make donations to charities through their smartphones. - **Holiday Activations:** Brands are creating holiday-themed events and promotions to engage with customers and support charities. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Beverage:** Beverage companies are using their products to promote charitable causes and engage with socially conscious consumers. - **Non-profit:** Non-profit organizations are partnering with brands to create innovative donation campaigns that benefit those in need. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Marketing and advertising companies are helping brands create engaging holiday-themed campaigns that support charitable causes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Community-Focused Christmas Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/real-magic-at-christmas-campaign.md) - [Social Good Holiday Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/milos-tea.md) - [Kindness-Encouraging Soda Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-world-needs-more-santas.md) - [Virtual Brand-Backed Christmas Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/virtual-santa-visits.md) - [Music-Themed Soda Marketing Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cocacola-onpack-promotion.md) - [Charitable Grocer Meal Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holidays-without-hunger.md) - [Inclusive Shopping Labels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coca-cola-1.md) - [Seasonal Soda Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olipop-christmas.md) - [Charitable Christmas Crackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crackers-cracking-hunger.md)
