The first appearance of Santa Claus on the Hibiscus Coast was on Saturday, November 17 when he arrived at Snowplanet in a Silverdale fire truck.

Christmas tunes played by members of the Salvation Army brass band welcomed him and, like magic, children appeared to have photos taken and tell him their Christmas wishes.

After spending some time with the youngsters, Santa was whisked up the slopes of Snowplanet to take up residence in his Magic Castle, where he will remain until Christmas Eve.
