Santa is coming back to New Plymouth’s CBD for Friday late night shopping in the lead up to Christmas.

Santa’s elves are coming to the streets of New Plymouth’s CBD to help wrap and carry presents and entertain shoppers taking advantage of Friday late night shopping in the lead up to Christmas.

Close to 60 central New Plymouth retailers will stay open until 8pm on Friday, December 9 and 16.

On both nights Santa will be in the Huatoki Plaza for photos with kids while his elves do their best to both help and entertain shoppers, as well as hosting a story-time outside Puke Ariki Library.

Each night will also feature music and a pop-up karaoke station in Currie St and from December 7 a walk-through bauble will light up on Puke Ariki Landing.

“We’re putting out the Puke Ariki Landing lights for Father Christmas this year, so he won’t need Rudolf to guide his final approach. As well as the giant bauble, we have lights under the trees and around the Huatoki on Puke Ariki Landing,” said New Plymouth District Council community partnerships lead Callum Williamson.

“This year promises to be a true Taranaki Christmas cracker in our city centre so gather up the kids and head into the city for some festive atmosphere while you’re shopping or dining out.”
