HISTORY WAS MADE ON THIS DAY
FACTS ABOUT THE COCA-COLA SANTA CLAUS
Although many credit our modern day Santa to Thomas Nast,
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.
Haddon Hubbard "Sunny" Sundblom (June 22, 1899 – March 10, 1976)

Family Circle began publication in 1932. It was initially distributed
for free at Piggly Wiggly supermarkets, until it was offered as a

cease publishing after its December 2019 issue.
