Coca Cola Created The Modern Day Santa

We all know Santa as a big ol fat guy, with a cheery smile, rosy nose and red suit, but did Coca Cola create this image of Father Christmas?Gather all your Ho Ho Hos and sit around the Yule log to learn about the origins of this December holiday and explore other (often more sinister) Kris Kringle’s around the world.We topped our Stoli’s and stocked up on our cookies to hear from Senior Lecturer in Greek History and Language from the University of Queensland, and author of 'Origins of the historical Santa Claus’- Dr Amelia Brown. She knew all the (sleigh) bells and whistles when it came to the man who all this is based on - Saint Nicholas. Merry Christmas ya filthy animals and a Happy New Year to all our listeners, we love you and can't wait to chat again in 2023!
