Sprite is ringing in the holiday season with a new holiday commercial celebrating Black families – both kith and kin. Directed by comedian Eric André, the 'Sprite Holiday Special' is a modern take on the old school holiday special with skits starring Black actors and improv artists.

Nas, Rakim, Latto and GloRilla join Sprite for a new Hip-Hop 50 commercial over The Sugarhill Gang's 1979 classic “Rapper's Delight.” In time for Black Music Month, Nas, Rakim, Latto, and GloRilla take it back to hip-hop's early days in a new Sprite commercial.

Running alongside Coca-Cola's 'Holidays Are Coming' advert, the new campaign marks 100 years since Coca-Cola created its first festive activity and builds on its association with the festive period.

In the 1840s, marketers began to see Christmas as a prime opportunity to sell goods. Depictions of Santa were associated with advertisements in big cities like New York City and Boston, and the first in-store Santa appeared at Macy's in 1862. The commercial ties of the holiday only grew from there.

The Sprite brand name was created by T. C. "Bud" Evans, a Houston-based bottler who also distributed Coca-Cola products, circa 1955 for a line of drinks with flavors such as strawberry and orange; the rights to the name were acquired by the Coca-Cola Company in 1960.

Atlanta Hawks superstar Trae Young and Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards are both in a new Sprite commercial.

The brand's slogan was changed to "Obey Your Thirst", and jingles containing it became urban-oriented, featuring a hip-hop theme. One of the first lyrics for the new slogan was, "never forget yourself 'cause first things first, grab a cold, cold can, and obey your thirst."

Sprite's ties to hip-hop date back to 1986, when rapper Kurtis Blow was cast in the "Now More Than Ever" spot, becoming one of the first hip-hop artists featured in a national, mainstream ad. The commercial inspired the "I Like The Sprite In You" ads featuring popular artists like LL Cool J and Kris Kross.
