The traditional portrait of the American Santa Claus was created by artist Haddon Sundblom as part of an advertising campaign for Coca-Cola. Beginning in the 1930s, Sundblom's illustrations depicted a jolly, plump Santa enjoying a Coke, which helped solidify the modern image of Santa in popular culture. These iconic images contributed significantly to the festive spirit associated with Christmas and the Coca-Cola brand.
