The "Holidays Are Coming" Coca-Cola jingle, first released in 1995, quickly became a hallmark of Christmas marketing worldwide, including the Philippines. Known for its catchy melody and cheerful spirit, the song became synonymous with the Christmas season, ushering in the holiday festivities. Coca-Cola's holiday campaigns in the Philippines have consistently tapped into the Filipino tradition of close family bonds and celebrations. The jingle was part of a broader effort by Coca-Cola to associate its product with holiday cheer, community, and the joy of sharing. Its message of "something magic in the night" and the recognizable “Holidays are coming” became a signal for the start of the Christmas season for many Filipinos, deeply embedding the song into holiday traditions.

​

The original version of the "Holidays Are Coming" jingle is still remembered fondly by fans, as it helped solidify Coca-Cola's presence in the holiday marketing sphere in the Philippines. The song's joyful tone and memorable melody, including the iconic "do do do" chorus, captured the hearts of Filipinos, who are known for their love of festive celebrations. The 1995 campaign, with its focus on family, warmth, and togetherness, resonated well with the Filipino values of “bayanihan” (community spirit) and hospitality, making it a cherished part of Christmas advertising history. Over the years, Coca-Cola has continued to use the jingle in its holiday campaigns, further solidifying its place as a holiday tradition in the Philippines.

Holidays are coming...(repeating throughout)

'Tis the season
Watch out, look around
Something's coming, coming to town
