Coca Cola did not invent Santa Claus.
The Dutch derived Sinterklaas from St. Nicholas and the Americans derived Santa Claus from the Dutch Sinterklaas.

Coca Cola DID NOT invent Santa. He already existed as St Nicholas (Santa Claus in German or Latin or something). All Coca Cola did was dress him in red and white, and send their image of him around the world.

Coca Cola didn't invent Santa - they just invented the red suit. Santa Claus / St Nicholas is actually a German creation from centuries ago.

If Coca Cola had not invented Satan I think those crazy folks at Dr Pepper would have done it.
They are after all based in Waco Texas. And I think that has to count for something, don't you?
Oh! You wanted a SERIOUS answer!? Possibly a big department store, like Macy's. Just another commercial decision really.
Merry Hogswatchnight to one and all boys and girls.

They didn't INVENT Santa, they simply re-invented his image. St Nicholas was the original Santa, they simply got rid of the green suit, and gave him a Red, (same as coca cola) suit.

You actually need lessons in English when you are old enough as you question clearly implies that CC did invent Santa. On top of that the word is think not tyhink. so instead of insulting others get your own house in order

Somehow an image of Barbie sitting on some jolly old fat dude's lap in her latest skimpy holiday outfit comes to mind...I always wondered how she got the Dream house, the pink convertible, the motor home and all those outfits with shoes to match without a job....I'd have to guess Mattel would've invented him....just so millions of little girls all over the world wouldn't finally figure out that their beloved buxom, long legged icon...was a "Working Girl"...

Well I have a number of possibles:-
Virgin - The Virgin Santa (Richard Branson would fit perfectly!)
Mr Stellios - Easy Santa (Not sure the orange would work? Too Tango?)
Microsoft - Santa XP (Your Santa will reboot in 5 minutes....)

Publicity brainwash. Coca Cola would have still done it. Exclusivity...you know. Salut
