Wheel of Fortune changed up how its set looks due to a special themed week. The game show is celebrating America’s 250th birthday, and fans went wild over how the set turned out.
The episodes titled “Drink In America Presented by Coca-Cola” are airing the weeks of June 1 and June 29, inviting viewers to “drink in” the spirit, sights, and stories of America through the lens of one of television’s most beloved shows.
Throughout the special episodes, Wheel of Fortune will feature custom Coca-Cola integrations, with a branded wheel wedge offering a chance to win trips to popular American cities for exclusive July 4th celebrations, including Los Angeles for a concert at Memorial Coliseum, New York City for an exclusive Times Square ball drop, which Ryan Seacrest also hosts, and a trip to Seacrest’s hometown and Coca-Cola headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia.
On June 1, social correspondent Maggie Sajak walked across the set in an Instagram video, showing off the colorful red background. Behind her was a sign with “Coca-Cola” on it. Pictures of lighthouses, Coke bottles, and other destinations, such as New York City, were plastered on the wall. In between them were red and white stars and red and white stripes to represent the American flag.
The big screen behind Sajak was a bright red with a Coca-Cola bottle on it. It said “Drink Across America” with the WOF symbol and an American 250 banner draped in the flag.
The bottom portion of the wheel has also been turned red with white stars that have icons from different destinations. The background of the set was black with twinkling stars.
“The set is a work of art!” a follower said.
“This set looks fantastic and with Coca-Cola come together, it’s gonna be a sweet week to remember,” another wrote.
“Set looks great!” a third said.
“So beautiful!” a fan said. Many others commented with fire emojis.
The contestant who advances to the Bonus Round will have the chance to win a Jeep, an official partner of America250. Viewers can enter the “Drink in America Giveaway” for a chance to win a trip to an American National Park or to Universal Studios, more partners of Coca-Cola.
“Few brands are as deeply woven into American culture as Coca-Cola and Wheel of Fortune,” Stacy Jackson, vice president of Coca‑Cola Trademark Category, said. “As a Signature Partner of America250, we’re proud to celebrate this once-in-a-generation moment by teaming up with Wheel of Fortune to invite fans across the country to drink in the stories, places, and spirit that make America special. This collaboration is a celebration of that shared legacy—bringing America250 to life through pop culture, iconic destinations, and moments worth savoring together.”
