The modern soda brand returned to the Super Bowl for the third year, inviting viewers to shift the mood
AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — This Super Bowl Sunday, poppi skipped the playbook and brought the vibes. The prebiotic soda brand revolutionizing soda for the next generation returned for its third consecutive Super Bowl commercial, starring Charli xcx and Rachel Sennott, two artists who don’t follow culture; they shape it. The 30-second spot was created by visionary director Aidan Zamiri and creative agency MIRIMAR.
In the commercial, a college lecture hall is instantly transformed when a student cracks open a can of poppi, summoning Charli xcx as she slips into her “poppi place,” an exaggerated, high-energy, party-inspired fantasy world that transforms an everyday moment into a full-blown escape.
The ad creative reflects poppi’s broader positioning as a brand built for entertainment, conversation, and internet culture, both on and off the screen. As the Super Bowl continues to be one of the biggest cultural events of the year, the spot embedded poppi squarely within how people actually experience the night: on their phones, in group chats, and at watch parties with friends. It proves poppi isn’t just a soda – it’s a lifestyle, a mood, and the ultimate vibe setter.
“This was a very intentional return for us,” said Kristina MacIntosh, Senior Vice President of Marketing at poppi. “We showed up with the same confidence, tone, and cultural point of view that defines how poppi exists online, because that’s core to who we are. Bringing someone like Charli xcx into our Super Bowl moment was key. She shapes culture, she doesn’t chase it. That’s where the most powerful brand moments come from today.”
Three years in, poppi has sharpened its point of view on the Super Bowl stage. Year one marked the brand’s arrival as a modern soda. Year two showed consumers how and when to drink poppi. This year, the brand cements itself as a culture-first force within the soda category.
The ad ends with Charli xcx saying “make it poppi,” marking the launch of poppi’s newest campaign built around a simple idea: “Make It poppi.” With poppi, good vibes start the second you take a sip.
