Although many people were for the idea, some parents felt "blindsided" that they weren't forewarned that Hana Kōkō would be stepping in for Santa Claus. The parade's organisers have since apologised.
So we want to know your view on this topic. Are you in support of modernising Christmas, or do you prefer a traditional Santa? Take part in our poll below!

With so much going on this time of year it’s easy to get caught up in the festivities and forget about those having a difficult time.
From elderly neighbours with no one to celebrate with to homeless families and those with disabilities struggling to just get by, reach out to someone who could use a helping hand and remind them what the holiday spirit is all about!

Making your edible Christmas tree creates great memories and is delicious!
1-Make a cone shaped mould lined with baking paper.
In a large bowl ( microwave proof -if using glass be sure to use a teatowel to remove the bowl from the microwave)
2-Melt about 140g of chocolate for about 90 seconds depending on your microwave. Or use the steam bath method on the stovetop . ( we use Homebrand chocolate $2.50 from Countdown in the baking isle)
3- Once the chocolate is melted add rice bubbles, broken buscuits and a few jelly lollies, anything you would enjoy in your Christmas tree.Mix well
4- Using a tablespoon fill your mould with the mixture and use the back of the spoon to flatten the base as this will ensure your tree stands upright.
5- Place in the fridge or freezer for about 10 minutes.
6- Once the Christmas tree is set you can melt more chocolate ( if using white chocolate in the microwave be careful to check on it every 30 seconds )
7- Pour the white chocolate over the Christmas tree and sprinkle 100s and 1000s over the top. Use edible baking decorations. Have fun- and enjoy

- Don’t turn your back to the waves.
- Always take your lifejacket.
- Tell someone when you’ll be back.
- Don’t drive when you are tired.
And remember if you stray too far, the Choppers can help. In the last 12 months, Auckland’s Westpac Rescue Helicopter flew 962 missions keeping Kiwis safe.
Stay safe in Chopper Country.

Keep your eyes peeled for the latest scam to be fooling Kiwis. Scammers are taking advantage of people looking for a home to call their own, creating fake competitions and giveaways to win a tiny home.
A recent scam asked people to sign up on their page which went through a process of multiple surveys so the scammers can collect more information about the Facebook user in the hope of collecting personal details, including bank accounts. To read all about the scam, click here.
A fraud education manager says:
- People are helping the scammers by liking and sharing the post as it spreads the virus
- As soon as you like the Facebook post it gives scammers access to information
- If unsure whether it's a scam or not, look for terms and conditions - often these scams do not have them
- If you think you've been made a victim of an online scam, contact Netsafe and report it immediately. You can access Netsafe's page here.
