Throughout December, the Packet has reported on the various modes of transport Father Christmas has been travelling around Cornwall in.

Predominately he's known for travelling around the world in his sleigh, but throughout December he has arrived at destinations across the Duchy in a Royal Navy Helicopter, a boat, and motorbikes.

However, on Wednesday not just one, but multiple Father Christmases have been spotted around Cornwall - in a tank.

Since then the Packet has been trying to find out who these Father Christmases are.

"I don't know if I am seeing things, but I am pretty sure I have just seen a tank full of Father Christmases driving past me, shouting Merry Christmas," said one person who contacted the Packet. 

In fact, she wasn't seeing things - by Wednesday evening, The Seven Stars pub in Stithians shared a picture of the tank on its social media page.

The Stithians pub isn't the only one that has shared footage of the 'mysterious' tank travelling Father Christmases. On YouTube, Historic Cornwall has shared footage of the festive tank in St Ives. 

The question is, who are these mysterious Father Christmases travelling around Cornwall in a tank?
