Talent agencies are calling on New Zealanders to put on a red suit and give being Santa a go this year.
Posing for a photo with Santa is an annual tradition for families but since Covid, fewer Kiwis are applying for the role.
Scene to Believe says demand from shopping malls has increased this year, and they're struggling to cover all the required shifts.
Veteran Santa Eric Diamond told Mike Hosking that it gives him the best satisfaction out of any job he’s ever had.
He said that they’re provided with the suit, a fan, and the job pays very well.
Diamond absolutely recommends taking up the hat to anyone interested in giving it a shot.
