Reply to comment by StampYoPassport in TIL that the narrative that Coca-Cola designed the modern Santa Claus as part of an advertising campaign is not true, because Coca-Cola did start using Santa in advertising in 1933. But Santa had been portrayed almost exclusively in red from the early 19th century by giuliomagnifico

No he was commonly depicted in red before coke stuck their oar in. He was also depicted in green or blue, but red was far from uncommon. They just want you to think that because their logo is red.
