No, It was Coca Cola in the late nineteenth century who depcited him as wearing red and white. Before that there wasn't any defined outfit. Just robing.

Father Christmas
Country of Origin: England
.....on an enchanted white horse, Father Christmas flies over the houses of England on Christmas Eve. He brings presents to be carefully placed under Christmas Trees, and treats to fill fireside stockings.
With a wreath of holly atop his head and a long green robe on his stout frame, he is the embodiment of jovial Christmas cheer embraced by England in the 19th century and is reflected in the 'Spirit of Christmas Present' in Charles Dickens’ famous story, A Christmas Carol.

He's always worn red and white ever since Coca-Cola came up with the design.

No.
He was green first, as the original Nordic Santa Klaus.
Then, Coca-Cola took the icon and wore it in red, the colour of the brand!
Curiously, it was this last version which attained worldwide popularity

No, he hasn't.
It was Coca Cola who first made him wear red and white, in one of their advertising campaigns. Before that, he wore green and white.

No.
Started off green.
Coca-cola changed him to red and white - and it stuck.
Sort of sickens me actually.
