Ronan Keating is getting into the festive spirit with his latest music project. The former Boyzone star has teamed up with New Zealand actor Julian Dennison, to recreate one of the worlds most loved Christmas songs, Walking In A Winter Wonderland.
The pair collaborated with Air New Zealand on the remix, which racked up an impressive 3.6 million views in 24 hours. It’s called Summer Wonderland, and its purpose is to show the world what Christmas is like for those on the Southern Hemisphere.
Jodi Williams, Air New Zealand’s General Manager of Global Brand and Content Marketing, says the homegrown lyrics will remind local audiences of the moments that make a Kiwi Christmas, while also enticing prospective visitors to the country.
“The idea of sleigh bells and snow doesn’t really resonate for us in the Southern Hemisphere so we wanted to have fun with the concept of ‘carol equality’ and come up with a song we Kiwis and Aussies can relate to. We hope the video will not only spread festive cheer but will also stand out against more traditional Christmas advertising, inspiring travellers to come down and see you don’t need winter to enjoy our wonderland.”
