Big Red has made one of his first appearances of the year, signalling the start of the season and a packed schedule for the jolly old elf over the next few weeks.
The City of Newcastle rolled the switches on its 12.5-metre Wheeler Place Christmas tree on Monday night, where Santa will be available for photos between 5pm and 7pm on December 1, 2, 8 and 9, where "where everyone and their dog can also snap a selfie" with Santa, and take in the Christmas entertainment.
