This feel-good film casts the spotlight on the importance of family mealtimes in creating and sharing those "pause-refresh-and-cherish" moments as well as the unifying power of shared meals and the authentic connections forged at the dining table. The film aims to capture Win's journey in preparing his very own home-cooked pizza. The story culminates in a beautiful family gathering, over slices of pizza and glasses of Coca-Cola, where laughter and love are the main courses.

Baron Magtanong, regional marketing manager for Coca-Cola Trademark, said that the campaign aims to bottle up those precious moments of connection. "With Metawin's inherent warmth and energy, we're hopeful that the experience inspires others to explore their very own ‘recipe for magic’, turning mealtimes into priceless memories," he added. 

When it came to deciding what to cook, Metawin shared that he was excited to take on board his fans’ suggestions.

Metawin nostalgically reminisced his strong bond with Coca-Cola and pizza, stating, “I have many fond memories that involve me and my siblings, hungrily waiting for a pizza delivery while sharing a Coke."

"So, fast forward to the 'Recipe for Magic' campaign, I jumped at the opportunity to recreate those personal moments of happiness. Given how Coca-Cola has been part of many of our family occasions throughout my life, this campaign was truly close to my heart," he explained.

Metawin also had the chance to work with his siblings on the campaign. “This was a priceless experience to have all my siblings on set, and in fact, created another unforgettable and treasured family moment etched in my memory, courtesy of Coca-Cola.”
