It’s officially December! That means it's only 25 days until Father Christmas makes his arrival. However, for residents of Launceston, the jolly man with his red coat and big white beard will be making an appearance sooner than Christmas Day, as he embarks on his tour of the town. 

On December 22, Father Christmas will be making his way around the town in his sleigh. While you can listen out for the sound of his bells, here are the times you can see him and wave as he goes by.
