Manchester Christmas Market ‘Zippy’ Santa has found a new home after building works are taking place at his usual home at Manchester Town Hall.
Instead the ‘Zippy’ Santa is spending its Christmas at the Kellogg’s factory in Trafford Park. The council put ‘Zippy’ up for sale and Kellogg’s swooped him right up.
City centre spokesman Pat Karney said:
“A new Santa is being built in Piccadilly and he won’t look anything like Zippy. We’ll have to have a new name for him. We’ve had many Santas over the years, but Zippy is the one that really got close to everyone in the city.”
Manchester’s Christmas market is certainly a highlight in anyone’s Christmas attraction calendar. Full of a superb Christmas market, ice rink and a full walk through ice village. Manchester always brings the magic of Christmas without fail every single year!
