Thomas Nast was an illustrator who lived between 1840 and 1902. He was hired by Coca-Cola to redesign the image of Santa Claus because the current image of him at that time (green clothing) represented a rival company that sold lemonade. Santa was also originally thin and tall.

Thomas Nast added red clothing and made Santa plump. The historically incorrect image of Santa (Saint Nicholas) that we see today.
