The Telecom Tree will be lit by special light shows every night until 26 December in Wellington's Frank Kitts Park.
Four special Santa Line phone boxes at the base of the Telecom Tree allow children to ring the North Pole direct, with their voices magically activating the lights running from their phone box to the star at the top of the tree.
Created by King Kong Art Director Joe Bleakley, the 26 metre-high Telecom Tree is made up of 37,000 lights, which provide 16 million possible colour combinations. A space underneath, which holds 200 people, provides an enchanting view of the spectacle.
Visitors to the Tree are invited to bring gifts of toys to leave under the Tree. Womens Refuge will distribute those gifts to children in their homes around New Zealand in time for Christmas morning.
For those who can’t make it to either of the Telecom Trees, Santa Line will still take Christmas wishes direct to Santa. Hopeful children (and adults!) can call Santa on 0800 222 222 or write to him online at www.santaline.co.nz.
Last year almost one million calls (999,672) were made to Santa Line.
Where: Frank Kitts Park, Wellington CBD.
When: From 1 December to 26 December with lightshows from every evening
