Kenya Airways passengers were treated to a best Christmas when Coca-Cola surprised travellers with gifts at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) and during their flights.
Passengers bound for Mombasa were welcomed with Christmas-themed gift hampers, instantly filling the busy terminal with holiday cheer.
The festive spirit continued 31,000 feet above sea level aboard the Nairobi–Mombasa flight, where passengers received additional
surprises mid-air.
“We wanted to bring the magic of Christmas to a place where people don’t always expect it; the airport,” said Monique Katana, Director of Frontline Marketing at Coca-Cola East and Central Africa.
“During the festive season, many Kenyans are travelling to reunite with loved ones, making JKIA the perfect place to spark moments of joy. Together with Kenya Airways, we saw an opportunity to welcome passengers with warmth, kindness, and festive cheer from the
moment they step into the terminal. This year’s Coca-Cola Christmas message reminds us that the world needs more Santas; people who give, care, and spread kindness in both big and small ways. Today’s activation brings that message to life.”
The surprises are part of Coca-Cola’s Christmas campaign, which includes the famous Coca-Cola Caravan travelling around Kenya to share joy, cheer and kindness.
The Caravan has already visited towns in Western Kenya, the Rift Valley and Nairobi, and is now moving to other parts of the country encouraging people to show kindness and connect with one
another.
The campaign’s theme, “The World Needs More Santas,” aims to inspire Kenyans to spread goodwill through simple, meaningful actions during the holiday season.
This year, Coca-Cola is celebrating everyday people who show kindness in their communities. Through the Caravan and local events, Coca-Cola wants to remind Kenyans that even a small act of care can make a big difference. The festive season is a time to slow down, reconnect and enjoy special moments with the people and traditions we love.
The Caravan also highlights the warmth of Kenyan culture by giving out local goods such as soda, chapati flour, fish, chickens and goats.
It is visiting markets, malls and neighbourhoods, turning ordinary places into moments of fun, colour and joy
