Pepsi x Grinch Drinking Can Blue Knit Pullover Fair Isle Pattern With Snowflakes Christmas Trees Santa Hats Houses Holiday Festive Ugly Sweater Winter Jumper

The Pepsi x Grinch Drinking Can Blue Knit Pullover Fair Isle Pattern With Snowflakes Christmas Trees Santa Hats Houses Holiday Festive Ugly Sweater Winter Jumper merges the legendary heritage of Pepsi-Cola, originally created as “Brad’s Drink” in 1893 by pharmacist Caleb Bradham at his drugstore on the corner of Middle and Pollock Streets in downtown New Bern, North Carolina—a refreshing blend of carbonated water, sugar, vanilla, rare oils, kola nuts, caramel, lemon oil, and nutmeg that he renamed “Pepsi-Cola” on August 28, 1898, combining the terms “dyspepsia” and “cola” to market his drink as having digestive benefits with the original theme line “Exhilarating, Invigorating, Aids Digestion”—with Dr. Seuss’s beloved 1957 children’s classic How the Grinch Stole Christmas!, creating festive apparel that celebrates both an iconic American soft drink born in North Carolina and one of the most recognizable Christmas characters in popular culture. This premium blue knit pullover features traditional Fair Isle-style patterns including intricate snowflakes, Christmas trees, Santa hats, and charming house silhouettes woven throughout the sweater, with the vibrant blue colorway perfectly mirroring Pepsi’s iconic branding while showcasing the Grinch drinking a Pepsi can—a vessel containing the cola that has become one of the world’s most recognized beverages since Bradham’s December 24, 1902, incorporation of the Pepsi-Cola Company in North Carolina, his June 16, 1903, trademark registration, and the explosive growth that saw sales reach 19,848 gallons by 1904 and expand to 240 franchises across 24 states by the time of Pepsi’s first Bottler Convention in New Bern in 1910. The centerpiece design cleverly pairs the green, cranky Grinch character who lives on Mount Crumpit with a heart “two sizes too small” who attempted to steal Christmas from Whoville, with imagery of Pepsi’s distinctive blue can featuring Santa hat motifs that playfully reference Pepsi’s bold 2024 holiday marketing campaign “Santa Makes the Switch to Pepsi Zero Sugar,” where the brand cheekily shows Santa Claus caught red-handed buying boxes of Pepsi from a New York City bodega—a provocative social media push that toys with rival Coca-Cola’s century-old holiday marketing iconography and demonstrates Pepsi’s willingness to challenge Coke’s ownership of Christmas through tongue-in-cheek creative that appeals to modern consumers while promoting their zero-sugar offerings. The Grinch has become a cultural phenomenon through multiple adaptations including the beloved 1966 animated TV special narrated by Boris Karloff, the 2000 live-action film starring Jim Carrey that grossed over $345 million worldwide, and Illumination’s 2018 computer-animated film featuring Benedict Cumberbatch, cementing the character’s status as a holiday entertainment staple that resonates with Pepsi’s own legacy spanning from Bradham’s 1893 invention at his New Bern pharmacy through multiple bankruptcies in 1923 and 1931, candy manufacturer acquisition, survival of intense trademark disputes with Coca-Cola over the rights to use the word “cola” that were settled in Pepsi’s favor, and transformation into a globally recognized brand under PepsiCo that now challenges Coca-Cola across restaurant franchises and major event sponsorships while maintaining deep roots in North Carolina, where the Birthplace of Pepsi museum still operates at the historic corner of Middle and Pollock Streets. Licensed by Dr. Seuss Enterprises, L.P., this officially authorized merchandise represents the expanding global licensing program for The Grinch combined with Pepsi’s contemporary holiday marketing strategies exemplified by campaigns like “Christmas is Better With Pepsi MAX” that showcase bold creative redefining celebrations and new traditions through comprehensive activations including complimentary gift wrapping, photo moments, Oxford Street Christmas lights tours, Winter Wonderland partnerships, OOH advertising, and experiential marketing running through December—positioning Pepsi as essential to making Christmas more enjoyable through irresistible taste and nationwide SMS promotions encouraging consumers to make the switch with cash-back rewards. Crafted from premium knit fabric with authentic Fair Isle Nordic patterns featuring vibrant Pepsi blue tones accented with snowflakes, Christmas trees, Santa hats, and houses that echo the brand’s iconic color scheme established over 127 years ago, this comfortable pullover ensures warmth during cold winter weather while the classic crewneck silhouette provides timeless style perfect for ugly sweater parties, Pepsi collector gatherings, North Carolina heritage celebrations, holiday festivities featuring Pepsi Zero Sugar, or casual seasonal wear that bridges over a century of American soft drink innovation with beloved Christmas traditions. This holiday jumper taps into both the Grinch’s identity as a “staunch individualist” whose snarky sense of humor and ultimate redemption arc resonate with fans, and Pepsi’s cultural significance as a brand born from Caleb Bradham’s pharmaceutical innovation—transforming from a drugstore fountain drink originally intended to cure dyspepsia into a national sensation that required Bradham to purchase the “Bishop Factory” building in New Bern for $5,000 in 1903, move all bottling operations to accommodate 7,968 gallons of syrup sold in the first year, expand through franchising that made 250 territories operational by 1910, survive multiple ownership changes and bankruptcies, triumph over Coca-Cola in trademark disputes, and evolve into a modern challenger brand bold enough to steal Santa Claus himself in holiday marketing campaigns, offering wearable
