The Sprite Christmas Commercial with Anta Claus

Sprite puts its own spin on the Santa & Christmas tradition with tricked out sleigh and not Santa Claus, but Anta Claus– played by NBA basketball player Anthony Edwards. Take a look then scroll down for more…

Right off the bat I need to point out that this Sprite holiday commercial is SO much better than the one from a couple of years back. Whereas that one was pretty terrible– barely even mentioning or showing Sprite– this new one has Sprite cans and cases cleverly scattered throughout the ad, along with a nice green color scheme and thought-out rhyming that keeps the viewer engaged. I love the line: “and for once in his life, Ant hit nothing but brick,” playing off the term in basketball when someone severely misses a shot and opponents yell, “Brick!” but in the case of Anta Claus, sending gifts down a brick chimney is a swish.

Good job Sprite!
