Air New Zealand makes politics for a new Christmas announcement

Another year, another Christmas announcement from the national carrier that is grinding its teeth – but perhaps this year's offer of Air New Zealand is an opportunity to reflect on the events of the year. Past year.

New Zealand is no longer this country with the focus that nobody understands, but is now famous for sending minor delegates to the UN. (Here's to watch you, Neve Ardern!)

This year's Christmas announcement returns to Santa's cave, but instead of deciphering the wish lists of kiwi preschoolers, it's Santa Claus who inadvertently sends a message to the world.

In a leaked note of Santa's "ugly list", a group of unruly New Zealand students discover that they will not receive any presents this year if they do not repair themselves.

In what could be described as the plot of a never-before-seen Room of cards and The rugrats When they cross paths, they seek the help of Air New Zealand to summon the "worst children in the world" to a "summit" and pledge to change their abominable habits.

The rather festive setting takes place in a model UN consisting of some naughty children who have an unusual relationship with their adult counterparts.

A US delegate dressed in a red baseball cap "Make Christmas Great Again" seems to miss the goal of the summit.

These cute Trumpian miniatures make a lot of promises such as "reduce the draw", hoping to redeem themselves in time for a visit from Santa Claus.

Last year, the Air New Zealand Christmas advertising "Mirry Christmas" has attracted international attention. This previous video was viewed by 13 million people and won the Global Content Award at the PRWeek Global Awards in London.

While Santa Claus has been reading calls from kiwi children, he picks up trash balls that look like "cookie balls" and a "brand new beard".

However, this year's festive offering raises more questions than she answers, such as:
What does it have to do with Christmas?

Airline brand director Jodi Williams defended the setting, saying it was perfect for the crazy time of the year:

"From childhood memories of writing to Santa, to the drama of a festive technological failure, the comforting video plays silly moments of the season in a very kiwi way "she said.

The video auditioned more than 300 children of Air New Zealand employees in the clip, before 17 of them were selected for the video with ground staff and cabin crew from the airline.

Will these kids keep their promises or will they drop out once Santa Claus has been around and they'll get what they want? I guess we'll have to wait until next Christmas to find out who's still on the list of naughty girls.
