Although many people were for the idea, some parents felt "blindsided" that they weren't forewarned that Hana Kōkō would be stepping in for Santa Claus. The parade's organisers have since apologised.
So we want to know your view on this topic. Are you in support of modernising Christmas, or do you prefer a traditional Santa? Take part in our poll below!

- Don’t turn your back to the waves.
- Always take your lifejacket.
- Tell someone when you’ll be back.
- Don’t drive when you are tired.
And remember if you stray too far, the Choppers can help. In the last 12 months, Canterbury’s Westpac Rescue Helicopter flew 664 missions keeping Kiwis safe.
Stay safe in Chopper Country.

Commuter towns must take their share of new residents as greater Christchurch's population balloons by as much as 50 per cent in the next 30 years, a new report says.

The draft report says a combination of population growth and social change means up to 86,000 new homes, more that previously thought, will be needed by 2048. However, it warns the growth in satellite towns like Rangiora and Rolleston will lead to increased traffic congestion without better public transport.
Estimates have put greater Christchurch's population in 30 years at between 618,000 and 742,000, up from 428,000 now.
