SANTA made a grand entrance to Cranbourne last week as he took his seat at his new residence for the next month in the lead up to Christmas.
Cranbourne Park Shopping Centre got into the festive spirit on Saturday with a Christmas parade to welcome the arrival of Santa to the complex.
Santa arrived in sleigh, led by his Samoyed dog friends.
The ever popular Alvin and the Chipmunks also took part in the parade and provided entertainment to the many children who came to watch.
Santa will be at the centre for the littlies to have their photos with until Christmas Eve.
He will be there Monday to Sunday from 10am to 1pm and then 1.30pm to 4pm.
He will also be available for photos on Friday nights from 4.30 to 7.30pm.
All those who have their photo taken with Santa receive a free garden set.
