Thank you!

❄ Thank you!

Our 2026 mid-winter Christmas celebrations are all wrapped up, with a big happy bow.

A massive thank you to everyone who made this year’s festival possible; our generous businesses, sports teams, volunteers, charity groups and community organisations and above all, the Festival sponsors and donors.

With heartfelt thanks

A huge thank you to our partners, Christmas Angels and cherubs whose generosity helps make the New Zealand Festival of Christmas possible. Your support is what keeps the magic alive: The Country Village Heaven Trust, Greytown Lands Trust, Blackwell & Sons, The White Swan, Copthorne Solway Park, Greytown Distilling Co, Mrs Blackwells Village Bookshop, Dave and Jennah from Property Brokers. Join us here

We’re looking for visionary businesses, organisations and individuals who share our belief in connection, joy and community-led experiences.

If you’d like to be part of a festival that welcomes over 60,000 visitors, delivers meaningful exposure, and creates lasting impact well beyond July, we’d love to talk. Supporting the New Zealand Festival of Christmas means being part of something joyful, generous and genuinely loved. Contact rachael@because.co.nz
