Bears, dragons and Coca-Cola are joining forces in a new television

commercial to welcome Chinese New Year, with the ever-popular polar bear

family celebrating the start of the Year of the Dragon in a TVC created

specifically for Chinese audiences.



"We wanted to do something really special for our Hong Kong consumers to

mark this auspicious occasion," said Swire Coca-Cola marketing director

George Smith.



"The polar bears seem almost human - they personify family values and

fun."



Since their first appearance on TV screens in 1993, the Coca-Cola polar

bears have become worldwide favourites with consumers both old and

young.
