Santa Claus makes trip from North Pole to the Prairies

The elves from the North Pole brought a special guest to Saskatoon Sunday.

Families bundled up in a biting wind to catch a glimpse of old Saint Nicolas during  the 27th annual Santa Claus parade.

The festivities kicked off at 1 p.m., with floats heading down snowy streets to bring Christmas magic to children in the crowd.

Santa’s sleigh came to a halt at the Midtown Plaza main entrance, where Mr. Claus entered the mall signalling the beginning of Christmas season.

Candy canes, dogs, horses and Christmas cheer are in downtown Saskatoon. #yxe #CKOM #Santa pic.twitter.com/zjRVPYFsd0
