The theme of this year's North East Fenwick Christmas window display was revealed as a beloved children's character to the joy of many this week.

Fenwick unveiled the theme of their Christmas window display in Newcastle on Sunday (November 6) to the delight of many young children and parents.

Children were left overjoyed after this year's display was revealed as the much-loved character Clarice Bean from Lauren Child's series of the same name.

After the reveal, children were seen looking on with wonder at the character, whose display was themed after Child's new festive tale, 'Clarice Bean: Think Like an Elf.'
