A game specially with youngsters in mind will be a key feature of this year's Llangollen Christmas Festival which takes place next Saturday, November 30.
Like last year, there will be lots of characters for the players in the Fun Trail to discover displayed in the windows of various businesses around the town.
There will be more windows than ever in the game this year and characters are all cuddly toys.
As some of the shops already display toys, to distinguish Santa Bear's friends from any other toys they'll all be wearing the special Fun Trail badge as modelled by Santa Bear himself in the picture above.

Festival chair Austin “Chem” Cheminais, said: “Llangollen Christmas Festival is organised by volunteers from the community who freely give their time and expertise to organise and run the event. It is not a Town Council event, although they do support us.
“The festival is a not-for-profit community event aimed at local people. We aim to make the Christmas Festival a totally free event, with no charge for activities or entertainment.
“We are funded through fund raising events, donations, sponsorship, a raffle and grants when available. Annually the group has to raise about £4,000 to fund the event."
