Due to the pandemic, the Christmas Sing performances could take place in St Helens Parish Church but the Music Service felt strongly that the residents of St Helens should still be able to see and hear the annual event - this time from the comfort of their own homes.
The carol service features more than 1,600 children from 12 schools from across St Helens joining together 'virtually' to sing eight well-known carols, accompanied by St Helens Youth Orchestra.
The performance also features readings from students from St Helens schools and a clergy's address.
