A Toast to Tradition
Here’s a fun fact to keep in your back pocket: The image of the Santa we adore today was significantly influenced by Coca-Cola back in 1931! Renowned artist Haddon Sundblom created a warm and friendly portrayal of Santa that captured the essence of joy and giving that the holiday represents. With his iconic red suit and infectious smile, this new Santa image became a staple of Christmas celebration across the globe.
Next time you sip on a refreshing Coca-Cola, remember, you’re partaking in a tradition that has quietly shaped holiday imagery for decades! The Coca-Cola Caravan provides a chance to celebrate that very tradition. It’s not just about drinks; it’s about making memories!
