156 people donned Father Christmas outfits and took to the seas in Queensland, Australia in a bid to become record breakers and raise money for a local charity.

The festive jet skiers topped the previous benchmark on 129, with the event generating over $10,000 for charity Christmas Presents for Kids in Care.

Jane Rushton, who sported a festive hat for the event and was joined by her husband Jack, was delighted to give something back in the unique record attempt.

She told 9News: "We paid to do it to give to a charity for children who don't get presents because they're in foster care or foster homes."

Charity founder Jane Padden said the money raised from the event is "huge" for the small fundraising group.
