Corrected entry: Riton makes some money as a Coca Cola-style Santa Claus, but this figure was created in 1931, that is one year later as the film is set, and still needed many years to make its way into France. (01:37:00)

Correction: This is one of those Internet lies that Coca-Cola invented Santa Claus as we know him today. The bearded, jolly fat man in a red suit existed long before that. The 1823 poem "A Visit from St. Nicholas", with illustration, demonstrates this, also Harper's Weekly magazine ran a series of engravings by Thomas Nast between 1863 and 1886 which depicted him very much like the "modern" Santa.
