In the 1700s St Nick began being represented a bit like the Green Man from English folklore;fat, beardy, green coated, spirit of plenty.
Then the two different images began to merge.
Coca cola used this merged version because it was their corporate colours. This cemented it as the typical version.
But you only have to look back a hundred years or so and there's a mix of green santa, red santa, and st nick in typical bishop garb.
