At the downtown attraction, you can view vintage Coke memorabilia, learn about the bottling process, get close to the vault where the secret Coca-Cola recipe is stored, taste Coke products from around the world, and watch short films on your visit.

We have just moved to Atlanta from Canada so we are going to start some new holiday traditions! Usually we get hot chocolate from Tim Hortons and go through the Christmas light display at the local zoo. It’s quite different here in GA without the snow!! We were going to take our 3 boys to the Coca Cola museum and visit Stone Mountain. We have a few other Christmas festivals to check out and hopefully some new traditions are created!
I loved going to the old world of Coke as a kid. The fountains shot up in the air into your cup.
One family tradition we have is going to the movies as a family on Christmas night! I wish to continue it with my children
Our favorite tradition is going to the tree farm the Saturday after Thanksgiving to pick out and cut down our Christmas tree.
Our favorite tradition is decorating the tree. We have ornaments to commemorate important events, trips we’ve taken as a family, etc. As we pull out the ornaments, we re-visit those memories together.
Our favorite holiday tradition is to have a holiday white elephant gift exchange ($10 and under) on Christmas Eve with our extended family on both sides. Combine 30-40 crazy relatives, zany unique gifts, and plenty of ‘spirits’ with Christmas snacks and you get an annual ridiculously hilarious Christmas memory!
I enjoy Christmas in front of the fireplace, watching Christmas movies while drinking hot chocolate.
Every year my family and I make a vow to spend more time together. That was hard with the pandemic and my sister and I are adults now out
of the house; she’s a traveling nurse and I’m a teacher. One of the traditions that is a non-negotiable is decorating the tree together as a family. It’ maybe a small tradition, but we take great pride in decorating the Christmas tree and the home we grew up in. We play Christmas music, dance, laugh, and reminisce about past Christmases when we get together. It’s an amazing time and even with busy schedules and a pandemic that has no end in sight, now more than ever we make it a priority to do this with each other every year.
I hand made an advent calendar about 7 years ago and the kids look forward to it every Christmas! 🙂
My family loves are time we share together. Hanging out at Stone Mountain Park for snow mountain and the beautiful way they turn the park into Christmas…
Every year I take my niece kids to as many festivities that we can get for the month of December.
Each of our 8 differnt families have a theme.
We wrap their gifts in their theme.
We make cut-out cookies for their theme.
Each family is given a dated ornament of their theme by monarch and they give an ornament of their theme to the monarch and 7 families.
And when they and their children arrive for Christmas Eve, they are wearing PJ’s of their theme.
It is so fun to look at the tree and the ornaments from Christmas past to remember the years.
There is a special tree decorated with family members who have passed. Each ornament has a dated picture and is created by that individual family.
Every year my family would celebrate with a brunch with neighbors and special people in our lives!
Every Christmas Eve we would spend with my Grandmother and Grandfather when they were living. The whole family together. We may not see each other the rest of the year, or be bickering about something, but on that day, we all got together and got along. I miss that.
My favorite memory is my family going to church on Christmas Eve. Halfway through the service the choir began to sing Joy To The World. When it came time for the chorus the man behind us sang “and heaven and nature sing” VERY loudly in a booming baritone voice. Needless to say it initially scared us and then we broke out in little girl giggles. Great memory of the joy of my youth 🥰
Every Christmas my Family and I make homemade peanut butter Christmas cookies. It brings us together in such a wonderful way. Then we sit down w/hot cocoa and watch “it’s a wonderful life” on Christmas Eve; the best times!
Every Christmas my Family and I make homemade peanut butter Christmas cookies. Even though I’m 40 years old now it always makes me feel like I’m that six year old girl making cookies for Santa and it brings us together in such a wonderful way. Then we sit down w/hot cocoa and watch “it’s a wonderful life” on Christmas Eve; the best times!

We always love driving through neighborhoods checking out all of the light displays throughout the month.
My absolutely favorite holiday tradition was “Adopting a family!” Every year my mom would adopt family (or multiple) and my siblings and I would help her pick out their gifts! One year we got to meet the family, I was a teenager but seeing their faces and how grateful they were for the gifts made my heart soar! We would also spend a lot of our time at shelters during the holidays loving on people. I’m so thankful my mom made that a regular thing for us, it helped to keep us grounded and in a place of being thankful for all we have. I can’t wait to continue this tradition with my boys!! Happy Holidays!!
My absolute favorite tradition that my boyfriend’s family started and has invited me to be a part of is gathering together at a cabin in North GA. Last year, we watched Christmas movies, made hot chocolate bombs, did jigsaw puzzles together, and cozied up by the fire while the snow fell. We’re going again this year and I’m excited to decorate sugar cookies and wear silly Christmas sweaters with them!
Our favorite holiday traditions are driving around looking at the lights, making yummy decorated cookies with friends and reading the night before christmas on Christmas eve. We’re new to Georgia and are working on making new memories down here!
Every year, we open a present on Christmas Eve and set out cookies to receive the rest. We also enjoy looking at the Christmas lights wherever we can find them.
Would love to win. We haven’t been since the remodel Anf my kids haven’t been at all.
Our family loves to ride around of the weekend evenings during the month of December and look at all the holiday lights. We’ve done this every since the kids were babies and although they are teenagers and college aged students now they still enjoy this family tradition. We have a few light displays that are local to us that the neighbors put on every year but I try to find a new display that we haven’t seen before that we drive to view. I hope the kids continue this as they start their own families!
We love to play Scrabble in the evenings during winter, especially as it gets dark so early that we can’t do our daily evening walk.
My favorite holiday memories are. celebrating Christmas on Christmas Eve with my extended family (two christmases!) and playing in the snow. My favorite tradition is listening to Christmas songs while making cookies for Santa.
We love to take the kids to see the lights around the area. while kids grow is very satisfying to see how they get so excited about the holidays.
Best Christmas tradition was going to bed early and waking to a fully decorated tree. The wonderment as a child was priceless.
Loved touring Lights Of Life in the in the late 90’s/early 2000’s at 1AM if I could not sleep when they were on all night and the presentation took up the entire block.
We love to drive around and look at Christmas lights. We play Christmas music and have popcorn and hot chocolate for the drive. We also celebrate Christmas morning at my grandmother’s house with our entire family.
Six years ago my Mom moved here from NC to an assisted living facility. She was moving from her home, her friends, her whole life. My circle of friends immediately pitched in to help, inviting her to Christmas parties and tickets to shows. But the best part were my i-laws, who threw open their doors for a elderly old lady they’d not ever met. She loved the attention, and the laughter of children and the craziness of gifts and food. It was something I could never give her where she lived, and it was gratifying to see her eyes light up.
We always spend Christmas Eve at my grandmothers house and eat breakfast.
Going to see The Nutcracker at The Fox Theater is a tradition we enjoyed for many years.
Our favorite winter activity is ice skating at Atlantic Station.
Our tradition is to go see Christmas light!
Love driving around looking at Christmas lights and decorated Christmas homes while holiday music is playing!
We love driving around in our PJs with some hot coco looking for the best Christmas light display we can find!
Our kids are young so we are still fine tuning our forever traditions. But so far we pick out 1 ornament a piece every year together and wear Christmas pajamas on Christmas Eve with hot chocolate and Christmas movies while we make cookies for Santa.
Growing up, when we had friends and family visit us from out of state (at any time of year but especially at the holidays), we always took them to the World of Coke. It’s a hit with kids and adults, and the tasting room is always so much fun. The new holiday attractions there sound really interesting!
We just moved here so we’re trying to making holiday memories in Atlanta. But my finest memory is when it snowed in Wilmington, NC and my son and his friends snowball fight and I made a fire and we had hot chocolate and s’mores.
My favorite Christmas memory is driving around looking at Christmas lights and decorations.
My all-time favorite memory of Christmas is traveling to Pigeon Forge with my husband and daughters and enjoying the mountains and dinner shows. That is where we also started the tradition of making donuts and putting together a jigsaw puzzle on Christmas morning.
Our favorite tradition is driving around seeing the Christmas lights while playing Christmas music in the car.
We love going to see Christmas lights as a family. One of our favorites is the Lights of Life at Life University in Marietta, Ga.
Every year we would go to the Pink Pig. It started when my sister and I were little and we have been taking our kids too. We are sad that we won’t be able to do it anymore and will have to find a new tradition.
My favourite holiday memories are seeing my kids faces when Santa visits every Christmas Eve.
Our favorite tradition is going to the lights at Life University.
Every year we go to Berry’s Tree Farm in Covington and cutting down our Christmas Tree.
