Hundreds of people turned out to see the festive parade make its way from Coleraine Leisure Centre to the town centre with Santa and the Mayor of Causeway Coast and Glens, Cllr Oliver McMullan, leading the way on a beautiful Clydesdale-drawn carriage.
Local dance, drama and community groups all took part in the parade along with pipers and festive fun characters.
There were traditional old-style swingboats to enjoy outside the leisure centre, a giant snow globe for those perfect festive photos, music and street entertainment as well as sparkling new Christmas lights all around the town.
