More evidence to prove my theory: "Although the modern image of Santa Claus was created at least in part by the advertising department of Coca-Cola..."
And the first thing I thought of when I read about those red and white mushrooms was Super Mario Bros.

It's that time of the year again.
It looks like Coca-Cola and Santa had a falling out in their sponsorship. Reports say the Polar Bears have picked up the sponsorship from Coca-Cola to fund the replacements of the beach balls they keep losing in the Arctic Ocean and to pay court costs for lawsuits filed by the penguins they've scared the crap out of. Proof of these reports can be seen on the 2005 Christmas cans that feature the Polar Bears with no signs of Santa. Rumor says Santa is close to signing a deal with rival Pepsi-Cola and he'll be driving a blue and white sleigh this year with matching uniform. Also, the reindeer will be replaced by eight authentic Pepsi-sponsored #24 Chevrolets formerly driven by Jeff Gordon.

Breaking news: Santa Claus has turned down a sponsorship with Pepsi to return to Coca-Cola's family. He has also made amends with the Polar Bears and appears on the 2006 Christmas cans with the younger Polar Bear. Word says Coca-Cola offered him a substantial amount of money over Pepsi which is why the jolly, old fat man decided to remain with the company that has sponsored him for decades. More details to come.

Ahhhh, once again... it's that time of the year...
The reasoning for the repeat design for the holiday cans this year (the image used the exact same as last year's)? They couldn't get Santa's new firesuit done in time to create a new picture. However, I have recently come across a picture of Santa's new sleigh, to be used for the first time this year. Coca-Cola is committed to Santa and has poured millions of dollars into his program to ensure he stays with Coca-Cola.
"I'm honored to have such a supporting sponsor to help me in this ever growing consumerist holiday. Christmas 2007 will be the best Christmas in centuries and me and my sponsor Coca-Cola will make sure each and every Christmas from here on out will be better than the previous. We aim to win!" Santa said while unveiling his new ride.
The new sleigh will incorporate all the standard features of his previous sleighs, such as a bottomless pit bag, hovering capabilities, and FTL drives. However, it also incorporates many new features such as air-to-air missiles, taser weaponry, smart bombs, and laser targeting systems. These features will not be used except in the Middle East, so he can safely get to US and allied troops, and Detroit.

After re-reading through this thread again, I have to say one thing. Elmono - you get your imagination from MY side of the family.
Scene in the Niklewski house on Christmas Eve.
Grandma *reading the Warshington Post from three days ago* - "Ed, listen to this, it says here that Santa signed a new contract with Coke."
Grandpa *nodding head and not paying any attention to his wife at all* - "Mmmmmm."
Grandma *reading the entire article out loud* - "Huh - I like that he decided to stay with the same sponsor. No one has that loyalty anymore."
Grandpa - "Mmmmmm."
Aunt Carol - "Everyone knows Santa is evil. All Santas are evil."
Unca Dave - "I don't believe in Santa Claus."
Aunt Carol - "Then you are going to hell."
Unca Dave - "Well, if I don't believe in Santa then why would I believe in hell? So therefore, I can't go to a place I don't believe in."
Your father - "Wonder why he picked the #14 for his driver number?"
Me - *runs out the dooor screaming into the night*

That sounds exactly like them, especially dad wondering about the number (which I chose simply because it's available in the Cup Series... couldn't use 07 for 2007 for obvious reasons)

Ahhh, another Christmas, another Santa update.
With the economy going down the drain across the planet, Coca-Cola has cut back on funding for Santa Claus. The reindeer have all been shot to feed the elves, his sleigh was cut up to be used as firewood, and Coca-Cola's annual Christmas cans had to be modified to show only Santa's head due to the cost of creating a new outfit for Santa to wear for the photo shoot. Coca-Cola still gives Santa unlimited Coca-Cola to drink so he will instead belch his way across Earth to deliver planets since he has no sleigh or reindeer anymore. Also, instead of him saying his familiar "Ho ho ho," he will instead call out, "O O Obama!"

From the Atlanta Journal-Constitution this morning:
From a story originally published in the North Pole Times, Santa Claus will be delivering the same gift to all Atlanta metro residents, young and old alike. In this historic cost cutting move, all 5.6 million citizens will receive $500 gift cards to Circuit City to be used at any store in the metro area after January 1, 2009. Santa regrets the decision had to be made only to Atlanta denizens but hopes everyone can enjoy a little taste of the holidays from your local Circuit City store after the new year.
NOTE: All Circuit City stores in the Atlanta metro area are being closed by December 31, 2008.

Yeah our circuit city in Warner Robins is closing as well and its been open less than a year. Don't know if its the same up there, but their "going out of business" sales have been a measly 20% off so far... which puts them around Best Buy's normal price, haha.

Let's see what Santa has been up to lately...
Santa Announces New Health and Environmental Mission
December 7, 2009
Associated Press
North Pole -- On the heels of the American EPA announcing greenhouse gases do affect human health, Santa Claus announced he is joining the cause to stop global climate change. Since last year, when Claus' reindeer were killed off to feed the elves, environmental probes showed a considerable decrease in carbon emissions above the North Pole. In the past year, Claus set aside a team of elves to work on an alternative to reindeer power.
In that year, the elves came up with a breakthrough. Claus' new sleigh, built from money provided by Coca-Cola, utilizes a unique new method for propulsion. Instead of reindeer, it actually uses the carbon emissions from the air and recycles it into clean, refreshing air.
But what about in areas where there are not as much carbon emissions? The sleigh also has storage for reserve carbon emissions collected from places such as China and the United States. Claus will go green this Christmas for the sake of the planet.
On the health side, Claus has vowed to lose weight. In light of the concern of obesity, Claus has cut down on his diet - including only drinking cool, refreshing Coca-Cola only during promotions - and has started working out. Mrs. Claus' berating of Claus in the classic movie Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer about "no one has heard of a skinny Santa" is about to be proven false as Claus hopes to show off his new, slim physique this Christmas.
He declined to be photographed or described in his new outfit but Claus has joined the twenty-first century with fashion.
Santa Claus is coming to a home near you this Christmas.
