This collectible phone card showcases a charming vintage Coca-Cola illustration titled "Santa At Refrigerator" from 1947. The centerpiece is a classic, cheerful Santa Claus clad in his iconic red suit trimmed with fluffy white fur. He sits comfortably on a stool beside an open refrigerator, holding a glass of Coca-Cola in one hand, savoring the drink with evident delight. In his other hand, Santa gently supports a small wooden rocking horse, adding a warm, nostalgic touch that evokes the joy of the holiday season and the timeless tradition of gifting toys to children. His rosy cheeks and twinkling eyes convey a sense of contentment and relaxation after a long night of delivering presents.
Behind Santa, the refrigerator’s interior glows with cool blue-green tones, emphasizing the refreshing chill in contrast to Santa’s warm presence. On the floor beside him lies a large brown sack brimming with festive toys and stuffed animals. Among them, a teddy bear, rabbit, goat, elephant, and a whimsical jack-in-the-box peek out, enhancing the scene’s holiday magic and childhood wonder. A candy cane tucked inside the sack further reinforces the Christmas theme, blending nostalgia with the wholesome image Coca-Cola has long associated with the holiday season.
Framing the card is a sleek silver border that adds a modern touch while underscoring its collectible value. The top right corner boldly displays the card’s face value—"$2"—in bright red, clearly marking its worth. Along the bottom, several design elements highlight the card’s historical and collectible significance. A ribbon in the lower left corner commemorates the year 1947, firmly situating the artwork in mid-20th century Americana. Opposite this, a circular Coca-Cola logo is surrounded by the phrases "Always Collectible" and "Always Coca-Cola," reinforcing brand loyalty and the enduring appeal of this nostalgic phone card series.
Labeled “#20 of 48,” the card is part of a larger collection from Coca-Cola’s 1996 release, which celebrates and revives historic Christmas artwork tied to the brand. The image radiates warmth, joy, and the comforting spirit of Christmas traditions through its detailed, painterly style and classic iconography. More than a functional phone card, this piece stands as a tribute to Coca-Cola’s cultural and commercial legacy with Santa Claus and the holiday season.
