You are right. Coca-cola started to advertise their product with Santa and they are the ones to first put him in all red. This started back around the early 1900's when they were doing a lot of billboards and magazine ads as TV did not exist back then. The advertisers at Coke thought it would be good for Santa to be wearing the same colors as Coke. Santa used to not always be red, sometimes green and sometimes he would wear white. Here is a link to the Coca-Cola website and the story

Santa Claus didn't wear red and white until he was featured in coca-cola advertisements in the 1930s
Ever since then, Red and white are Santa's main colors

Coca Cola wishes! They'd love to monopolize Christmas. Pepsi is better.
