Kids are getting into the Christmas Spirit by taking a walk through Santa's Wonderland in Hastings CBD.
Funded by the Hastings City Business Association and Hastings District Council, the Santa's Wonderland will be open until Christmas Eve, from 10am to 4pm Monday to Saturday, in the old AMI Building across the road from BJ's Bakery and Cafe in the Hastings City Mall.
The wonderland, which is decked out with more than 150 trees, features a kids play area with its own ginger bread kitchen and elves workshop.
Kids can spend time finding Santa's reindeer, watching the Lego Christmas Village display as well as posting a letter or outline their Christmas wishes to the man in red in-person.
Hastings City Business Association general manager Susan McDade describes Santa's Wonderland as an "extravaganza to delight the children of Hastings and the wider Hawke's Bay region".
