Believe it or not it gets worse than that. Santa Claus was invented by Coca Cola and created the red and white color scheme because it matched the colors of the can.

They did this to try to come up with a way to convince people to by a cold drink in the winter.

Santa Claus existed before coke ads, he just traditionally wore green.
