Imagine it.
You're a film director and you have been tasked with setting a Christmas film in Sunderland.
Where would you choose? It has to be festive, romantic, warming and full of seasonal cheer.
We've chosen 9 possibilities based on Echo archive photos - including Roker Marina, Penshaw Monument and Cleadon Hills - but we want your ideas.
Who would be the stars of your movie. What would you call it. Which backdrops would you use for those key moments in the film.
Have a look at our selection and then come up with your own.
1. It'll be a Mackem blockbuster
A Christmas love story set in Sunderland. We think it would be a hit.
2. Let it snow
Looking down to the Wear from High Street West in 2009. The setting for our opening scene.
3. On the hills
Next, we pan out to snow fall on the Cleadon Hills in early December 2021. A spectacular festive backdrop for any movie. Photo: se
4. Beauty by the sea
Our hero arrives on the scene from afar. There's a wistful moment as they look out to sea at Marsden - before meeting their true love.
