One Ontario spot is working together to make sure that they don't miss out on the Christmas magic. 

The Lions Club of Kitchener has announced that they will be having a "reverse" Santa Claus parade this winter.  

While many parades have been cancelled this year due to COVID-19, both Kitchener and Waterloo will be hosting the event.

November 14 & 21, 2020 'reverse' Santa Claus parade dates

Instead of watching the parade drive by you, this year will look a little different. 

Residents can hop in their cars and drive-by stationery floats to experience the Christmas magic in reverse. 

"Santa told us he wants everyone to be safe so we are doing a reverse parade this year!" read a statement. 

The event will be taking place in Kitchener on Saturday, November 14 and in Waterloo on Saturday, November 21. 

Other holiday events, like the popular Toronto Christmas Market, remained cancelled.
