The idea of a jolly fat man in a red suit and with white hair was not the standard until Coke said so. Before that sometimes he was thin, sometimes he had blonde hair and so on.

This is a drawing from 1852 made by Thomas Nast from Germany
It was this actual drawing that inspired Haddon Sundblom (from Coca Cola ) in 1931, to make the drawing of Santa, as we see and know him today.
So he was red, white and round before Coca Cola...
