Experience the Spirit of America with 'Wheel of Fortune' and Coca-Cola

A Patriotic Partnership: Celebrating America's Quarter-Millennium

The iconic game show, “Wheel of Fortune,” will dedicate two weeks this summer to patriotic celebrations, marking America's 250th anniversary. These specially themed episodes, aptly named “Drink In America Presented by Coca-Cola,” will showcase the nation's diverse heritage and spirit, encouraging audiences to connect with American traditions and landmarks from the comfort of their homes.

Unveiling the "Drink In America" Special Broadcasts

Scheduled to air across the nation during the first week of June and again with additional features in the final week of June, these unique episodes promise an immersive experience. Hosted by Ryan Seacrest and Vanna White, the program will guide viewers on a journey through America's spirit, scenic beauty, and compelling narratives, all woven into the familiar and cherished game show format.

Exclusive Integrations and Dream Destinations

Produced by Sony Pictures Television, these special episodes will incorporate custom Coca-Cola branding and offer contestants extraordinary travel opportunities. A unique branded wheel wedge will award dream trips to famous American locales, such as Los Angeles for Fourth of July festivities, New York City for an exclusive Times Square ball drop event, or Ryan Seacrest's hometown of Atlanta, also home to Coca-Cola's headquarters.

Thrilling Prizes and Home Viewer Giveaways

Adding to the excitement, contestants will also have the chance to win a brand-new Jeep, thanks to another America250 sponsor. The patriotic fervor extends to viewers at home, who can enter the “Drink in America Giveaway” for an opportunity to win a memorable trip to an American National Park or Universal Studios.

A Legacy of Joy: Brands United in Celebration

Suzanne Prete, president of game shows at Sony Pictures Television, emphasized the natural synergy between “Wheel of Fortune” and Coca-Cola. Both brands have deeply embedded themselves in American culture over generations, consistently fostering moments of shared happiness and connection. This collaboration is a tribute to that enduring legacy, bringing the celebratory spirit of America250 to life.

Embracing American Culture Through Iconic Collaborations

Stacy Jackson, vice president of trademark category at Coca-Cola, highlighted the deep cultural roots shared by Coca-Cola and “Wheel of Fortune.” As a premier partner for America250, Coca-Cola is proud to collaborate with the show to honor this momentous occasion. The partnership invites fans nationwide to appreciate the stories, places, and inherent spirit that define America, celebrating this shared heritage through popular culture, iconic destinations, and cherished moments.
