This nostalgic holiday painting was inspired by the magical Christmases of my childhood when everything felt brighter, softer, and full of wonder. I remembered the iconic commercial featuring the polar bear with a Coca-Cola can and how that simple image always made the season feel extra special. Wanting to capture that feeling again, I recreated it in my own style, painting this cozy, cheerful polar bear in a classic Santa hat with a crushed Coke can. This piece is a warm reminder of childhood memories, timeless holiday magic, and the joy that comes with revisiting the moments that shaped our love for Christmas.
