Santa sighted at Bristol's annual Holiday Preview

Posted

Santa Claus was spotted strolling along Hope Street with his personal photographer as Bristol kicked off the shopping season with the 17th annual Holiday Preview last weekend.

A hearty "Ho, ho, ho," was heard. Then the merry elf walked through the doors of local shops and took pictures with children and adults.

White Christmas lights lined Hope Street. Many stores offered refreshments and entertainment to patrons while they shopped.

Shoppers are reminded to collect their Snowflake Raffle tickets when they buy locally.
