Traditional green hand painted chocolate Father Christmas figures get checked by a swiss chocolatier at Melchior Chocolates, Devon. Sales of the traditional green santas have been in huge demand this Christmas as the festive period takes hold across the UK. Father Christmas was originally depicted in a green outfit and started appearing in red during a Coca-Cola advertising campaign in the 1930s. Photo by award winning pr and press photographer Guy Harrop
