Please zoom in on photos to see more condition details In the early 1920's, The Coca-Cola Company hired the renowned illustrator Haddon H. Sundblom to create painting for Coca-Cola advertising campaigns. At The Coca-Cola Company's request, Sundblom created an image of Santa Claus for a new advertising campaign that would soon become one of the most enduring images of all time. This delightful Coca-Cola Santa Doll was inspired by one of Haddon H. Sundblom's original paintings for The Coca-Cola Company's holiday ads. From 1931 on, Haddon H. Sundblom created at least one painting of the Coca-Cola Santa annually for over 30 years. His concept of Santa, unlike any other, was robust and round, aglow with warmth and kindness, and lavishly dressed in brilliant red and white fur, a huge leather belt, big boots, and a handsomely coiffed beard as white and fluffy as the first snow. Your uniquely designed Coca-Cola Santa Doll is authentically dressed and posed in a way that brings the original painting to life. Inspired by the 1948 "Hospitality" painting, Santa pauses to enjoy a refreshing glass of Coca-Cola, which he holds in his hand. He is wearing a red velvety suit trimmed with white faux fur, and brown, suede-like gloves, belt, and boots. As in the original painting, a sprig of holly and berries decorate his red velvety hat trimmed in faux fur. He has a suede-like bag with a big red strap decorated with little bells, brimming over with adorable toys for good little girls and boys who are wise enough to know "Things Go Better with Coke!"
