Coca-Cola NEVER created Santa Claus. For example, the poem ''Twas a Night before Christmas'' was published in 1823. Coca-Cola was made in 1886. Santa Claus is actually a mixture of different winter gift givers from Northern Europe. Also, Coca-Cola never made Santa red and white either. Coca-Cola only helped to make Santa more like his modern image of a jolly fat man in red and white.

∙ 11y agoYes. Many Coca Cola posters showed a fat man in a red suit drinking a Coco cola. A big change from the little elf Santa than many European traditions portrayed him. Another influence was Edmund Gwenn (Academy Award Winner) as Santa Claus in the movie: Miracle on 34th Street. Another influence was the poem: Twas the Night Before Christmas with 8 tiny reindeer mentioned by name. Then Gene Autry had a big selling song: Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer. Another influence was the department store Santa Claus used to sell toys and increase sales. Coca cola posters showing a fat Santa Claus in a red suit had a big influence on the modern day Santa Claus, along with other factors.
