'Twas the night before Christmas and not a creature was ... sleeping. My Buddy Austin and I plan to wait up all night for Santa to arrive. Although we plan to eat all of his cookies ourselves, we will leave him an icy cold Coca-Cola to quench his thirst.
Did you know that historically Santa Claus was depicted wearing all different colors of suits? It's true, sometimes he would be depicted wearing a blue suit. Sometimes a green one. Sometimes a red one. Believe it or not, the red suited Santa Claus didn't become a fixture until Coca-Cola started featuring Santa Claus in its yearly Christmas advertising. In keeping with its logo colors, Coke settled on a red suit for Santa in all of its artwork and promotional materials. The first Coca-Cola print advertisements featuring a red suited Santa started showing up as early as 1936. Ever since, Santa Claus has exclusively been depicted in the familiar red suit. Product saturation at its finest!
