In EP 23 of The Art of Commerce, hosts Anish Raul and Ajinkya “Jinx” Joglekar unpack one of the greatest marketing stories ever told — how Christmas as we know it was shaped, standardized, and scaled by advertising.

Santa Claus wasn’t born fully formed.
He was iterated on.

What began as scattered folklore across regions became a globally consistent icon after brands — most famously Coca-Cola — applied creative direction, media weight, and ruthless consistency. A myth didn’t just survive modernity.
It was optimized for it.

This episode isn’t about nostalgia.
It’s about how culture gets manufactured.

In this episode, you’ll learn how to:
🎅 Turn folklore into a scalable brand asset
📐 Apply brand systems to characters, not just products
🧠 Understand how marketing can create culture, not reflect it
🎄 Design holiday campaigns that live beyond a season
🎨 Balance emotion, consistency, and commerce at global scale
🤖 Read Coca-Cola’s AI holiday ads as a signal, not a stunt
🎼 Learn why the most enduring holiday “products” are stories, not SKUs

From Santa’s red coat to Apple’s emotional storytelling to DIY holiday hits that print royalties for decades — this episode explores why the holidays are advertising’s highest art form.

Because sometimes the most powerful products in the world
aren’t sold in stores —
they’re sold in stories.
