There's a lot of association with Coca Cola, Santa Claus (Saint Nick) and Lucifer. Apparently the name 'Saint Nick' is derived from the British saying 'Old Nick' which is one of the names of the devil and the coke bottle itself represents the curves of a woluptuous woman. Can anyone shed some more light on this or tell me of any websites I can find the symbolic information? As a christian I'm curious about what this is all about as a christian friend of mine mentioned this to me and I want to find out more.

As someone who's actually capable of thinking, I'm going to have to tell you that your friend has been smoking his Bible a little too much.
Saint Nick is short for St. Nicholas, a bishop from Myra who was famed for his generosity and many of whose miracles involve protecting children and those in need. The name "Santa Claus" comes from the Dutch name for the saint, "Sinterklaas."
Old Nick, on the other hand, is believed by some to derive from Nikkel, the Germanic word for the devil, or possibly from the verb "to nick" - that is, to steal. The Devil steals souls, therefore he's the "Old Nicker" - shortened to "Old Nick".
Now the curves of a volumptuous woman - maybe so, maybe no. According to Coke, it's actually modeled after a cacao bean (see the Snopes link below for why) and was made that way to distinguish it from all the other brands of drinks you might find in an old ice bucket. There were stories about the shape being inspired by a woman in a hoopskirt, but that could have been started by a horny guy looking for anything to "inspire" his fantasies and somebody just took it for truth.

okay there is not use of satan/lucifer with coke.
Santa Claus? It's Saint Nicholas! not "Old Nick" aka the devil. St. Nick was a Christian! not only that but a SAINT! Like
Saint Joseph (Jesus' dad), St. Peter (Jesus' disciple), and St. Paul (Jesus' apostle)
see? no demons in your coke bottle. (and btw the coke bottle is just a bottle. It's the easiest way to put the lable on and hold it.
