The origins of Santa Claus began in the 4th century. Not 1930. Coca-Cola used Santa Claus to up their brand. Video is bullshit.
Coca-Cola is rotten for many things but they did not create Santa Claus.
True. They just rode his coat tails to riches.
Did you watch it? He said they tied it into Saint Nicolas (4th century as you say, slapped Arius) and combined him with some Dutch chimney thief and Santo Clause
What they created was the most popular version of it (today). Originally to boost their brand. Then, Hollywood hopped on and started spamming everyone with "wholesome" Christmas blips (now all classics) as children's movies to cement the deal. They commercialized Christmas though, originally, you still had a heavy Christ in the sentiment, as you can see, they have over the years been trying to erase the original reason the celebrate that day. My fav songs growing up where Lil drummer boy and Silent night, from what I understand, they want to get rid of lil drummer boy cuz it is racist or something, now.
