Coca-Cola Santa Claus

If Coca-Cola Santa Claus isn't the top pick in the 'Greatest Soda Mascots & Characters of All Time', then I don't know what's in your soda, but it might be skepticism. This jolly man not only sold millions by merely ho-ho-ho'ing next to a bottle, but he also managed to make us feel okay about downing a Coke in the dead of winter. Every December, fans struggle: celebrate his festive cheer or fight the urge to criticize commercialism. It's a love-hate that's as fizzy as the drink itself.
