Though Christmas on New Zealand’s South Island is celebrated in the same form as many other places in the world, two notable exceptions make Christmas in New Zealand a special and unique affair. For one, as one of the first places in the world to greet the rising sun, those celebrating Christmas in New Zealand are among the first on the planet to do so with many Kiwis already testing out their new gifts while children in North America still anxiously fend off sleep in anticipation.
