History of the Santa Hat.

One of the first modern drawings of Santa Claus dates back to 1863. While there had been many depictions of the man, this was a unique illustration. Thomas Nast’s visual representation of Santa Claus in 1863 inspired many modern depictions of Claus’s costume here in the United States.

Many people believe that the Coca-Cola Company invented Santa Claus. Even though this is not true, it is fair to say that the company played a significant role in the modern costume we see Santa wearing today.

Coca-cola followed in Thomas Nast’s footsteps, drawing inspiration from his depiction of Santa, who illustrated and consequently popularized the red Santa hat we see today.
