Some 24 businesses in the town were partnered with a school or community organisation to dress up their windows, with a new display being unveiled each day in the run up to Christmas.
The event began on December 1, with the Cockfield window at Trimmers hairdressers being unveiled on Monday, December 18.
The idea came from David and Pam Pott, who had done something similar in Stone, in the Midlands, before they moved to Bishop Auckland. The couple approached the Bishop Auckland Town Team to organise the event.
Mr Pott said: “It has been absolutely fantastic. Every window is special in its own way. It has been very pleasing to see how it has all gone. Cockfield Primary School have a great window, what they did was quite exceptional.”
The window featured a nativity scene which was produced by the children during art class.
The children also sang Away In A Manager for the small crowd during the unveiling. Afterwards each child received a gift from Santa Claus and a slice of cake specially baked for the occasion.
