Coca-Cola Santa Classic Edition 1948 "Hospitality" Doll 1999 Mattel 23288

This delightful Coca-Cola® Santa Doll was inspired by a painting by Haddon Sundblom, the renowned illustrator who painted for The Coca-Cola Company's holiday ads beginning in 1931 and for thirty years thereafter. 

His concept of Santa Claus - robust and round, aglow with warmth and kindness, and lavishly dressed in brilliant red and white fur - would soon become one of the most enduring images of all time. Inspired by the 1948 "Hospitality" painting, this uniquely designed Coca-Cola® Santa Doll pauses to enjoy a refreshing glass of Coca-Cola®, which he holds in his hand.

He is wearing a Coke® 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 carries a suede-like bag with a big red strap which is decorated with little bells. The bag contains adorable toys for good little girls and boys.
