Burnley's Tesco store provided mince pies and its community champion, Billie-Jean Horne, really got into the part by dressing up as an elf.
Donations to the event raised £230 which was presented to Central Methodist Church towards its Christmas Day lunches.
The Friends group has sent out a big thank you to everyone who supported the carol singing.
