Hello ho ho! It's Santa calling.
The big man in the red suit had a special treat for children receiving treatment at Starship Children's Hospital in Auckland yesterday, when he video-called several kids.
Father Christmas spoke to the children live from the North Pole, beaming directly into a meeting room at the hospital.
Excited kids took turns to tell Santa what they wanted for Christmas.
