The company Coca Cola Changed Santa from the colors green to red
Santa was first depicted wearing red, by cartoonist Thomas Nast in 1863, but up until the 1950's Santa was normally depicted wearing a green suit, sometimes also brown and white. His suit changed to red after Coca-Cola started running an ad campaign. The artist Haddon Sundblom, who painted him for this ad, dressed him in red to match Coca-Cola's color scheme. After a short time, this became the popular color for Santa's suit and is these days the norm.
He was Green before the coca cola company started making Christmas commercials using their colours on Santa :-)
Red is the corporate color of the Coca-Cola company. His red suit was the invention of the Coca-Cola marketing department in 1938. Traditionally, Santa Claus' outfit was green - until Coca-Cola altered Santa's image.
