Arranged by the Holbeck Together charity, dozens of locals braved the cold to mark the festive occasion.
Former Leeds United star Stuart Dallas, who retired last year following a battle with injury, was the special guest of honour at the event.
A host of Christmas events have been held across Leeds in recent days. Take a look at this festive gallery of pictures below...
