Croquetas for Santa

Scroll Down

Holiday noise is everywhere,
so Vicky Bakery baked up something

that felt familiar , but far from expected

The Problem

In Cuban households, croquetas are more than food. They’re comfort, heritage, and the heart of every family gathering.

We realized: Santa didn’t need another plate of cookies.
He needed something better. Something more delicious. Something more Miami.

By flipping a familiar Christmas tradition into a cultural wink, we could make Vicky Bakery the most talked-about holiday brand in the region.

The Insight

We brought Croquetas for Santa to life across every touchpoint in partnership with Coca-Cola, creating a campaign that centered cultural pride and connection during the holidays.

Key elements:

  • TV Spot for Florida Region: A regional holiday hero video aired across multiple local and streaming networks. It featured Santa discovering the magic of croquetas and turned a tradition into a Miami-made delight.

  • Witty, Shareable Social Content: We designed Instagram carousels and Reels that blended nostalgia, humor, and Cuban flair.

  • Behind-the-Scenes Content: We pulled back the curtain to reveal the making of the campaign and energized audiences with the creative spirit behind the work.

  • Strategic Content Calendar: We built a full December calendar to keep Vicky Bakery top-of-feed and top-of-mind throughout the season.
