The video explores the evolution of Santa Claus, starting with St. Nicholas, a historical figure known for his generosity. The Protestant Reformation shifted gift-giving traditions, leading to the creation of Kris Kringle. In the Netherlands, Sinterklaas influenced the modern Santa, while Father Christmas from Britain contributed to his jolly image. Thomas Nast's illustrations in the 1800s solidified Santa's modern depiction. Coca-Cola's 1930s ads further popularized him. The video also touches on Jack Frost and winter traditions, highlighting cultural influences on Santa's development.
