Greerton Village is turning up the holiday cheer this season with some sweet surprises for shoppers! From festive promotions to cash giveaways and even a special visit from Santa, it’s shaping up to be a jolly month in the village this Christmas.

First up, the ever-popular Random Acts of Christmas promotion is back in full swing!

“From December 1-24, you could be the lucky recipient of a surprise gift simply by shopping at our participating retailers,” said Greerton Business Association treasurer Tony Ryan.

“While you’re out and about doing your Christmas shopping, a shopkeeper might just pop up in front of you with a festive treat.”

Ryan said the gifts will vary from store to store, so make sure to visit your favourites. Also, try somewhere new! Just look out for the Random Acts of Christmas signs in the windows to be in to win!

But that’s not all – how about some cool Christmas cash? Greerton Village is offering three amazing cash prizes: $250, $750, and $1000!

“To have a chance to win, all you need to do is spend $10 at any Greerton Village store between December 1-24, write your contact details on your receipt, and drop it into one of the village’s cash draw boxes,” Ryan said.

There are five shops around the village on Cameron Rd and Chadwick Rd with cash draw boxes ready for you to pop your receipt into. It’s that easy.

And what’s Christmas without a visit from Santa?

On Saturday, December 21, the big man in red is making a stop in the Greerton Village Square, outside the Greerton Library.

Get ready for a fun-filled time of festive cheer. From 11.30am-2.30pm, there will be live music, singing, delicious treats, spot prizes, and a sausage sizzle to enjoy. Santa himself will be making his grand entrance at 1pm, so make sure to bring along the whole family for some extra festive fun! And bring your camera to capture that special tamariki moment.

This holiday season, Greerton Village is the magical fun place to be for shopping, surprises and seasonal spirit.

“The Greerton Business Association wishes everyone a Merry Christmas, and let the celebrations begin,” Ryan said.
