Excitement is building across Newquay as Father Christmas prepares for his magical journey to visit children who have been good this year.
His trusty reindeer, led by Rudolph with his glowing red nose, are already gearing up for a night of hard work, delivering gifts to homes across the town and spreading Christmas cheer.
Parents are being reminded to make sure their little ones are tucked up in bed early on Christmas Eve, as Father Christmas only visits when he knows children are fast asleep. Many families have been busy preparing, leaving mince pies and a glass of milk - or something stronger - for Santa, and carrots for the reindeer to help them on their long journey.
The big man in red is expected to make his way to Newquay from the North Pole late this evening, with the help of his magical sleigh. Using some Christmas magic and a sprinkle of stardust, he’ll be navigating rooftops and chimneys across the town to make sure every child on the nice list wakes up to a special surprise.
Local children have been writing letters to Father Christmas for weeks, sharing their hopes and wishes for what might appear under the tree. Many have promised to be on their best behaviour, hoping to secure their spot on the nice list. Santa’s elves have been working overtime to ensure everything is ready for the big night.
As Newquay prepares to welcome Christmas Day, the festive spirit is well and truly alive. Whether you’re watching for the twinkle of sleigh bells in the night sky or simply enjoying the magic of the season, Father Christmas’s visit is sure to bring joy to all. Merry Christmas, Newquay!
