This Christmas, a family of penguins is helping boost the holiday spirit in South Korea.

At an amusement park outside Seoul, five penguins on loan from the zoo welcome visitors with a mini-parade that they will perform daily until Christmas Day.

The "mom", "dad" and three "baby" penguins also put on a show, where handlers dress them up in Santa costumes and let the birds waddle around on man-made snow and ice.

Children will also be able to hold some of the penguins, and even take them on sleigh rides.

Watch a video of the penguins in their Santa suits.
