There will be some new treats in store for those who take in this year’s Santa Claus parade in Toronto.
The annual procession is promising a number of fresh features, including a replica of the Grey Cup that stands four metres high.
The Grey Cup float, which was co-designed by the Canadian Football League to celebrate the championship’s 100th anniversary, will have former Toronto Argonauts football player Michael “Pinball” Clemons on board.
Other new creations include a One Direction-themed float celebrating the popular British boy band and a Little Planet Karting float, modeled after the popular video game Little Big Planet.
The parade also welcomes back Mrs. Claus, who made her first appearance last year.
In a new offering, children of all ages can enter an online contest to fill four empty spots on Mrs. Claus’ float.
The parade takes place Sunday, November 18.
