Events

Limited-edition America250 packaging has been introduced across a range of Coca-Cola products in the United States as part of celebrations marking the country's 250th anniversary.

The commemorative packs are being produced by selected Coca-Cola bottling operations, including Arca Continental Coca-Cola Southwest Beverages (AC-CCSWB), which serves parts of Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico and Arkansas. Production is taking place at several designated facilities, including the company's Northpoint manufacturing site in Houston, Texas.

The America250 collection includes a series of limited-edition cans and bottles featuring designs inspired by individual US states, as well as Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia. Coca-Cola said the programme includes its first America250-themed collectible mini cans, with each design incorporating regionally recognisable imagery.

The packaging is being rolled out across multiple brands within The Coca-Cola Company's portfolio, including Coca-Cola, Smartwater and Gold Peak Tea, among others.

In addition to the packaging initiative, Coca-Cola is supporting a broader programme of America250 activities through community-based projects and local events. Within AC-CCSWB's territory, these plans include the Star-Spangled Mural competition, which will see Coca-Cola-themed murals installed in selected communities to highlight local history and culture.

For more than a century, Coca-Cola has been woven into the fabric of our culture here in Texas and across our great nation. As the local Coca-Cola bottler, we are proud to participate in this special moment for our country as we help bring celebrations to life across our territory.

Susanne Brady-Lusk, president of AC-CCSWB.

Mural unveiling events are scheduled to begin in June and continue throughout 2026 across the bottler's operating region.

The commemorative packaging is available through retail channels where participating Coca-Cola products are sold.
