The Dutch capital has launched what it hopes will be a new Christmas tradition by holding it's first yuletide canal parade.
On Christmas Eve, 17 festively decorated passenger boats sailed through the canals of Amsterdam. Many of the city's bridges were full of spectators who turned out to see the spectacle. One of the boats featured a folk choir singing Christmas classics.
The organiser's say they were pleased with the event and look forward to making it a permanent fixture of Christmas Eve in Amsterdam.
