TLDR: Coca-Cola India has partnered with Google to introduce its ‘Festicons Diwali Campaign,’ an AI-driven initiative enabling users to generate and share personalized festive avatars via the Google Gemini app, blending traditional Diwali celebrations with modern technology.
Coca-Cola India has unveiled its innovative ‘Festicons Diwali Campaign’ in collaboration with Google, marking a significant step in integrating artificial intelligence with festive celebrations. This pioneering initiative empowers consumers to create and share personalized festive avatars, dubbed ‘Festicons,’ directly through the Google Gemini app. The campaign aims to offer a more personal and meaningful way for individuals to exchange Diwali wishes.
The ‘Festicons’ campaign leverages Google Gemini’s advanced image generation technology. To participate, consumers can scan a QR code found on Coca-Cola’s limited-edition Utsav Packs. This directs them to the Google Gemini app, where they can design their unique ‘Festicon’ by selecting a festive persona and a Diwali-themed icon. Gemini then seamlessly merges these choices into a personalized, shareable digital sticker. These custom creations can be downloaded and shared across social media platforms using the hashtag #MyFesticon, fostering a wave of creative expression and connection during the festive season.

With ‘Festicons,’ the brand elevates the concept by enabling real-time, interactive co-creation, transforming every Diwali wish into a vibrant digital celebration. A spokesperson for Coca-Cola stated, “Our collaboration with Google for Festicons comes from the simple insight that consumers want more personal and meaningful ways to celebrate. This initiative, powered by Google Gemini, weaves AI, art, and culture together — reinforcing our belief that when people come together, they create lasting memories.” The campaign underscores Coca-Cola’s enduring message of togetherness and joy, harmonizing the warmth of tradition with the cutting-edge innovation of AI to amplify human connection.
