Santa claus is coming to town but he is riding a bicycle instead of a sleigh.
Thousands of people dressed in Santa Claus outfits have gathered in the Colombian city of Pasto in an attempt to set a new world record.
Those who turned up to take part were hoping to secure a place in the record books by participating in the largest gathering of Santas on bicycles.
Organiser, Fabio Arevalo said: "The people's participation was a total success." He added that he was confident that a new record had been set.
Unfortunately, there was no official present to adjudicate the event and therefore it will not be recognised in the Guinness Book of World Records.
