Rumor has it that the modern day version of the Santa Claus image was a marketing ploy by Coca Cola (whose colors are red and white).

Santa Claus's modern appearance, with his red suit and white beard, is largely influenced by the iconic image created by Coca-Cola in their advertising campaigns in the 1930s. The red suit became popular due to Coca-Cola's branding strategy, and the image of Santa as a jolly old man with a white beard has been reinforced through various cultural depictions in films, books, and advertisements over the years.
