FACTS ABOUT THE COCA-COLA SANTA CLAUS

My hat's off to the pause that refreshes 1931

Santa’s jolly look all started in 1931 with legendary illustrator
Haddon Sundblom for a Coca-Cola holiday ad campaign. His
Santa has become one of the most beloved cultural icons and
an anticipated part of the Christmas holiday tradition.
