Police have swooped on an accused drink driver who paraded his car, heavily decorated in Christmas fairy lights and trinkets through the middle of a busy Adelaide pedestrian zone, before allegedly returning a positive breath test.

The grey Mazda shrouded in festive ornaments and blasting carols drove through Henley Square just after 8pm on Sunday.

After the man drove a lap around the square, witnesses say he sat there, parked in his car for several minutes before police arrived.
