Although Christmas is set to be very different this year, Merseyside's festive lights will still look spectacular.
After a year like no other, we weren't able to watch the sparkling lights be turned on like normal but the city centre still looks fantastic.
With lights decorating Albert Dock and all around town, this year's decorations have lit the city up.
Hundreds of thousands of people have turned out to watch the festive lights get turned on in years gone by, as families love making the annual trip to see them.
Throughout the years light displays in Merseyside have attracted huge crowds to come and admire them, as displays change from year to year.
Starting off humbly with a large tree adorned in lights, we've watched spectacular displays get bigger and bigger.
