15,000 santas have paraded through the streets of Porto in northern Portugal in an attempt to enter the Guinness World Records for the largest ever gathering of the Christmas figure.
Last year, this initiative resulted in 14,472 people dressed up as Santa Claus, which beat the world record.
Once again, the idea this year was to surpass the previous record, but also to provide Christmas presents for children in need.
For each Santa that passed the finish line of the parade's route, €1 was given to the cause by the event's organisers.
The organisers of the event had distributed 19,000 Santa Claus suits.
