It's beginning to look a lot like fish-mas at SEA LIFE London Aquarium.

This morning (11 Dec), Father Christmas and his trusty elf made a splash-tacular entrance into the Open Oceans habitat, diving right into the festive spirit.

Scuba Santa, clad in his signature red suit, teamed up with his elf decked out in full festive attire to bring Christmas magic beneath the waves. The duo’s merry dive caught the attention of curious residents, including the Ocellated Eagle Rays and Zebra Shark, who swam closer to join in the excitement.

Children in the crowd watched with wide-eyed amazement, pressing their faces eagerly against the glass and waving excitedly at the jolly pair. The first guests of the day were treated to this sea-riously magical moment, setting the tone for a truly unforgettable holiday experience.

Catherine Pritchard, SEA LIFE London Aquarium’s General Manager, shared her excitement: “We’re splashing through the snow with Christmas spirit here at SEA LIFE London Aquarium! Our team wanted to bring some holiday magic to our creatures and guests alike with a special visit from Santa and his elf. Seeing the delight and surprise on our guests’ faces as they witnessed this underwater merry spectacle is truly an incredible way to kickstart the holiday season.”
