Get your warm hot chocolate ready and save your favourite spot on the couch to watch The Original Santa Claus Parade from the safety of your own home – TONIGHT at 7pm!

In order to keep families safe and capture the holiday spirit, this year’s parade was pre-filmed, using the grounds of Canada’s Wonderland as the magical parade route.

TV viewers will be given a front-row seat to 23 colourful floats, including the 98.1 CHFI float!  Also included in the broadcast will be special musical guest performances, celebrity appearances, and the iconic “Celebrity Clowns”.

In a year when we need Christmas cheer the most, this very special edition of the parade will bring holiday magic to Canadians across the country with a beloved tradition!
