Unsuspecting shoppers got a early Christmas earful in a southern Ontario mall 2 weeks ago. Imagine sitting in the food mart getting ready to tuck into that Big Mac or bean burrito when a big baritone stands up beside you and bellows out a hearty "HALLELUJAH" right next to you!...and slowly others join in..until there is a full-blown choir serenading you and other surprised shoppers.

This "Festive" Flash Mob was organized as a PR stunt by a local Niagara area photographer on November 13th and has garnered almost 1,000,000 views on Youtube.

Very Vocal and viral too!

Ho..Ho..Ho

Hallelujah indeed !!

Very novel. And it's nice to get the Christmas spirit going early as well.

It was great to see the expressions on the faces of the shoppers. That hymn brings a lot of pleasant memories to many of them.
