Santa speaks Maori


NZ Post says children have until Wednesday, Dec 22, to send an online message to Santa Claus and they will receive an emailed response before Christmas Day.

NZ Post says it has been working closely this Christmas with Santa and his elves, to ensure Kiwi kids receive a response to their letters.

This year, Santa has already replied to more letters in Te Reo Māori than he did in 2020. NZ Post says popular items on Kiwi kids’ wish lists are remote control cars, unicorns and books. 

Other requests include for loved ones to be home for Christmas, for confidence heading into a new school and for a baby brother or sister.
