The captivating carnival marked the start of the festive season with princesses, princes, nutcracker dancers and traditional toy soldiers all there to set the scene.
Youngsters also got the chance to meet their favourite television characters, including Marshall and Skye from PAW Patrol, Shimmer and Shine, Peppa Pig, Trolls lead characters Princess Poppy and her little friend Branch, as well as lovable Bing and Flop from Emmy-award winning CBeebies cartoon Bing. Also involved in the magical musical parade were the little yellow Minions, fresh from their latest movie, Despicable Me 3.
Shimmer and Shine
Corrie stars Catherine Tyldsley and son Alfie, Scott Thomas and nephew Teddy, Tina O’Brien and children Scarlett and Beau, and Samia Ghandie and son Yves also made an appearance.

Father Christmas was also at the parade in The Orient to spread some Christmas cheer.
Alison Niven, regional centre director at intu Trafford Centre, said: “Never before has an event lit up intu Trafford Centre with as much enchantment, festivity and excitement as the Magical Christmas Parade. The Orient was filled with thousands of happy, smiling faces and little ones were captivated by the magic and in awe of getting the chance to see their favourite stars in real life.
“There was PAW Patrol, Shimmer and Shine, Minions, Peppa Pig, PJ Masks, Bing and Flop and Trolls, followed by princesses, drummers, dancers, singers, jugglers, stilt-walkers and even Santa Claus himself joined the cast of over a hundred entertainers. It was such a fun-filled day out for all the family to enjoy – thank you to everyone that came.”
