Children waited wide eyed to see Santa when he joined Noosa Coast Guard on Saturday to spread some Christmas cheer along the Noosa River and some sweet treats.

The annual Christmas Lolly Run has become a traditional favourite for Noosa locals and visitors.

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a happy and safe festive season.
