Did Coke really turn Santa red and white?
Q: It's often said that Santa's red and white robes were the creation of a Coca-Cola advertising campaign. Is that true?
A: No. Santa's outfit is believed to have been inspired by the Bishop of Myra in the 4th Century... long before the soft drinks market realised its potential."
