Santa will be touring Weston and Worle in a festive tuk-tuk this weekend.
Chris Fletcher will don the famous red outfit and beard and travel in his kitted out tuk-tuk to spread some 'much-needed' festive joy.
Chris, along with his wife Sally, admitted that it had been a tough year due to the coronavirus and hopes to raise people's spirits.
Mr Fletcher said: "It has been a rubbish year, really, and it has not given us much use for our tuk-tuk."

Last year, the pair travelled to India - spawning Chris' obsession with the vehicle, and he decided to import one to set up a new business.
He said: "We set up a business called TukTuk Memories which offers wedding transport and photobooths in the tuk-tuk.
"Due to the coronavirus, it has been dormant so we decided to get some tinsel and lights out and make it into a sleigh.

"When I drive it in the town centre it always makes people smile without the decorations - it is certainly a head-turner."
Chris will set off from Milton on Saturday, arriving at Morrisons around 11am before heading on to Worle and finishing the day in Weston's town centre and seafront.
He said: "The Sunday route is flexible - people can request we stop there on our Facebook page - it will be a great way to spend the day and there will be goodie bags, music and lights to enjoy."
