Santa Claus traded his sleigh for a chopper on Sunday, arriving at the annual Christmas parade in the North End in a red and gold helicopter.
Santa landed at Christopher Columbus Park and posed for some pictures before joining the parade, according to CBS Boston.
“It’s about the children, to see Santa come in, I look at the expression on their faces, that means the world to me,” Ted Tomasone, the parade’s organizer, told the station.
