The tradition of presenting gifts and sweets to children on Saint Nicholas’s feast day, December 6, as well as the legend of Saint Nicholas (Sinterklaas) to New Amsterdam (now New York City), are both attributed to the Dutch. Santa Claus as he is portrayed today was inspired by cartoons created by Thomas Nast starting in 1863 for Harper’s Weekly. Nast’s depiction of Santa was heavily influenced by the portrayal in the 1823 poem “A Visit from St. Nicholas” (commonly known as “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas”).
The well-known Santa Claus advertising that illustrator Haddon Sundblum made for the Coca-Cola Company starting in 1931 helped to further define the image. Sundblum’s Santa was a hefty white-bearded man with black boots, a soft red helmet, and a red suit with a black belt and white fur trim.
