I call bullshit on that one. Santa is red and white because Coca Cola drabbed him in their colors and it catched on. Before that Santa was usually portrayed in white and green.

Coke may have (re)popularised them, but they didn’t originate them, so the Siberian shroom santa is still technically possible if not plausible.

Although it may seem a fortunate coincidence, the use of red and white colours for Santa’s outfit was not a homage to Coca-Cola’s brand colours, but rather was inspired by the Bishop’s mitre clothing which may have been worn by the real St Nicholas
