Is your pet feeling festive?
We want to see your pets (big or small) ready for the silly season. They could be donning their Christmas day get-up, curled up in wrapping paper, attacking the tree - or just sitting like a 'good boy' in front of it.
By sharing a picture on our Christmas Pets page, you could be in to win one of ten $100 PetDirect.co.nz vouchers.
Don’t have a pet? No trouble; photos of Christmassy houseplants, soft toys or family members are also entirely welcome.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
2025 has been massive. The Luxon-led Government's attacks on workers, on Te Tiriti, on pay equity, on educators, on health workers, and on the public service, have been relentless.
But despite everything thrown at working people, we've also seen some massive wins. We've fought back together with strike action. We've unified with days of action. We have focused on what matters. Make no mistake, 2026 will be wild, and we are ready for it! Source - New Zealand Council of Trade Unions
