PURCHASE, N.Y., Sept. 28, 2022 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Manzanita Sol, the refreshing and beloved Mexican apple flavored soda from PepsiCo, is kicking off Día de los Muertos celebrations with the launch of its Celebrar y Recordar campaign – an ode to remembering and honoring loved ones – with limited-edition packaging and $25,000 in grocery giveaways total towards families’ holiday feasts thanks to Manzanita Sol, Pepsi Real Sugar, and Crush.
As fans prepare traditional recipes and ofrendas for Día de los Muertos, Manzanita Sol wants to help fans make this year’s celebrations the biggest yet with $100 gift cards across five major cities. Consumers who seek out and share photos of the limited-edition bottles of Manzanita Sol, Pepsi Real Sugar, or Crush available exclusively at select retailers can enter to win one of 2,500 gift cards to support their Día de los Muertos festivities.
“Manzanita Sol represents a taste of home for so many and this year, we wanted to support fans’ Día de los Muertos celebrations with our limited-edition packaging spotlighting the culture and significance of this iconic holiday. Día de los Muertos is all about traditions and by covering groceries for our fans, we want to make it even easier for them to make their favorite family recipes for the day,” said Esperanza Teasdale, PepsiCo Multicultural Vice President & General Manager.
The brand tapped Mexican artist Totoi Semerena to design the limited-edition packaging for Manzanita Sol, Pepsi Real Sugar, and Crush.
