51 adorable pictures of babies enjoying their first Christmas in Carrickfergus and Newtownabbey

As the song goes, it’s the most wonderful time of the year – and it’s even more wonderful with a little one in tow!

For parents who have welcomed a new addition in the last year, their baby’s first Christmas is often a joyous milestone.

We asked parents to send in pictures of their babies enjoying their first Christmas in their best festive attire – and we were overwhelmed by the response.

Here are 51 babies celebrating their first Christmas in Carrickfergus and Newtownabbey. They’re sure to make you smile!
