Santa Claus is Coming to Town – Auckland, to Be Exact

Waterfront Auckland and ASB present
ASB SANTA’S BACH
December 6 – 24 2013

ASB Bank is pleased to be bringing ASB Santa’s Bach to life in Wynyard Quarter this festive season.

Starting Friday December 6, children of all ages will be able to take a free tour through Santa’s customised Kiwiana bach and journey through four highly interactive and unique spaces.

Unlike the times children have met Santa in a shopping mall, ASB Santa’s Bach embraces the true spirit of Christmas by asking families to BRING a present for Santa.
Santa will then distribute these presents using the Auckland City Mission - making sure no one goes without this holiday season.

A fully immersive experience for kids of all ages, ASB Santa’s Bach will put any 9 year old Santa-doubters firmly back in the land of belief.

“Open the fridge and you’ll find more than eggs and milk. This Bach’s pantry is more like Narnia’s closet than the larder at home. Make your way through a jungle of ceiling high bright red silks, step across the farty floor and make your very own application to be one of Santa’s elves. Dress up and strike a pose before heading into the nerve centre – Santa’s HQ. Watch the celebrity Skype feed coming in from all around the world and put your present on the towelerator which goes straight to Auckland City Mission. Exit through the tinsel forest join us outside in the Wynyard Christmas Quarter.”

Wynyard Christmas Quarter is Auckland’s home for festive fun, with the real Santa and his entourage of elves in residence in the ASB Santa’s Bach.

You can buy your Christmas tree at the Christmas Markets, marvel at our amazing Christmas ARTvent Decorations, watch a Christmas movie with your family at Auckland’s Seasonal Silo Cinema, attach your wish to the Auckland City Mission Angel Wishing Tree, grab some healthy cheap eats and be a part of the festive fun throughout December.

Wynyard Christmas Quarter, Silo Park from December 6 to 24.
