In 1926 Coca Cola introduced North America to Santa Claus. Before that Father Christmas, Cris Kringle and Cinder Claus all wore red. The Victorian age brought vivid colours to Christmas as new methods and colouring techniques were invented.

I don't mean to be rude but, Christmas has always had color! If you are talking about Santa Claus then say so. Coca Cola came up with the way Santa looks today (decades back) for an advertising gimmick.

No, Coca-Cola did no longer invent Santa Claus. Our call "Santa Claus" is mispronunciation of the Dutch "Sinter Klaas" meaning St. Nicholas. St. Nicholas replaced right into a solid guy who grew to become bishop in Turkey in the 4th century. he's the buyer saint of infants and replaced into universal for giving beneficiant presents. Coca-Cola began an promoting marketing campaign making use of Santa's image in the 1920's. In 1931 the artist entirely to blame for coming up the Santa classified ads replaced into Haddon Sundblom who did a minimum of one a three hundred and sixty 5 days for over 2 many years, making the Coca-Cola/Santa advert campaigns between the main recognised ever. wish this solutions your question. :) Elf Stacy

I believe santa's suit use to be green before coca cola got a hold of it. They redesigned it to match their logo and it just took off. The most collectible vintage postcards, greeting cards or logos of santa clause are pre coca cola since they are the original colors.

Santa was depicted in the early 1900 with a red robe on. That's pretty much where it got started. I'm sure the advertising companies helped a little more in the mid 1900s though.

the colour red means that jesus was meant to die right from the beginning. The red berries of the holly plant have represented drops of his blood for ages.
