Westfield shopping centres across Auckland are gearing up for the arrival of the man in red as the festive season kicks off for 2016.
 
Kiwi families are invited to start the season of giving at Santa’s Christmas Party with each Westfield shopping centre putting on a special spectacle, from the Christmas Dream stage show at St Lukes to the much-loved Sesame Street characters bringing Christmas magic to Manukau and WestCity. Santa’s arrival is followed by a fun-filled weekend of free entertainment, craft and community events.
 
Families will also be able to meet Santa himself as he takes up residence until Christmas Eve.
