There’s no shortage of Christmas spirit among Kiwis as New Zealand families call Spark’s Santaline to leave their Christmas wish lists for Saint Nick, with many Kiwi kids calling back again to follow the weekly misadventures of Jelly the Elf.
Last week Jelvenincidentalacidopholus, a.k.a.Jelly the Elf, revealed that he was on his way to Aotearoa to look for New Zealand’s missing ‘Naughty or Nice’ list. This week’s instalment of Jelly’s adventure sees the pint-sized hero arrive in New Zealand where he encounters some friendly sheep, scary wetas, a choir of Tuis, the sulphuric scents of Rotorua and even picks up some te reo!
