As Santa rode the cherry picker - the fire truck's hydraulic crane with a railed platform to carry people - accompanied by a firefighter, he delivered gift-wrapped presents to children.
Sometimes Santa doesn't need a sledge and reindeer.
In Peru Santa hopped on a fire engine and was lifted up in the truck's cherry picker to deliver Christmas cheer and presents to children infected with COVID-19 who are isolating with their families in a high-rise compound known as the Village.
"Since these are COVID areas you cannot go in directly, but Santa and the fire brigade provided a solution," said Juan Oriundo, director of the Pan American Village in Peruvian capital Lima.
"The solution involves using the cherry picker so they can get close to the windows and give the children a little present. That way they can feel the excitement of Christmas that they might not get at home on the 24th (of December)."
