DAYTON -- Children got to celebrate Christmas a little early at the Hope Church today.
The church held its annual winter wonderland festival and it even featured an appearance from the "big man" himself, Santa Claus.
Along with receiving holiday goodies, kids could also do their Christmas shopping for their parents.
Pastor Jason Bunger said, "There's even a shop where students can go and they can shop for gifts for their parents and everything is free, it's just an opportunity for us to express love to our community and express hope, especially in these times of need."
This is the second year the church has hosted this event.
