Flash mob spreads Christmas cheer at Winnipeg bookstore

WINNIPEG — This time of year it is no surprise to hear Christmas songs while shopping, but shoppers at one Winnipeg store were treated to a more up close musical experience over the weekend.

On Sunday, a flash mob of carolers took over Chapters Polo Festival.

A video posted on the store’s Facebook page starts with one person playing the Hallelujah chorus from Handel’s Messiah on a piano. Then people, who appeared to be shopping, joined in.

Eventually dozens of people gather around the piano singing the festive song.
