USA-themed episodes of the syndicated show titled “Drink in America Presented by Coca-Cola,” will air nationwide for two non-consecutive weeks in collaboration with the massive beverage retailer, according to Variety.

They kick off the week of June 1 and will include “added elements” the week of June 29.

The special episodes invite “viewers to ‘drink-in’ the spirit sights, and stories of America through the lens of one of television’s most beloved shows.”

They will also feature custom Coca-Cola integrations, such as a branded wheel wedge offering “iconic trips to beloved American cities,” per Wheel of Fortune producer Sony Pictures Television.

These include getaways to Los Angeles for Independence Day festivities, New York City for an exclusive experience at the Times Square ball drop, and to host Ryan Seacrest‘s hometown in Atlanta, which is also home to the Coca-Cola headquarters.

Additionally, contestants will have the opportunity to win a Jeep, sponsored by America250, in a bonus round.

Those watching at home can also participate in the themed episodes by entering the “Drink in America Giveaway” for a chance to win a trip to one of America’s over 60 National Parks, or to Universal Studios (Florida).

“Wheel of Fortune has long been a staple of American viewing, and collaborating with Coca-Cola, one of the most globally recognizable brands, feels like a natural way to celebrate America250,” Sony Pictures Television game shows president Suzanne Prete said in a statement.

“Both brands have been part of the cultural fabric for generations, creating shared moments of joy and connection, and we’re honored to bring that spirit to life in a way that celebrates what makes this country so special.”

“Few brands are as deeply woven into American culture as Coca-Cola and Wheel of Fortune,” Coca-Cola trademark category vice president Stacy Jackson added.

“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.”

Fans reacted to the special edition episodes on Reddit, with many not thrilled about the change to the decades-old show.

“Ok. I’m kinda sick of having a different sponsor every week at this point, but whatever, it’s the way it is now, I guess,” one person wrote in a thread.

“Yup, it’s the only way to keep the show profitable while allowing them to give away big prizes,” another theorized.

“Coca-Cola sponsored week with a home viewer giveaway, basically like every other sponsored week. And it’s not actually two weeks. It’s one new week that will rerun the week leading up to Fourth of July, just four weeks after it first airs,” a third reiterated.

“Ugh, sounds like one big commercial!” someone else complained.

The show concluded its “Big Money Week” on Friday, where one lucky winner received former Tonight Show host Jay Leno’s 2026 Chevrolet Corvette C8, valued at $70,000.
