Santa Claus originated from a combination of historical figures and traditions, including Saint Nicholas, a Christian bishop known for his generosity, and the Dutch figure Sinterklaas. The modern image of Santa Claus as a jolly man in a red suit was popularized by Coca-Cola advertisements in the 1930s.
