Air New Zealand’s Christmas song
has attracted more than 8 million global views since its premiere last week,
and Summer Wonderland will now be released as a commercial track to raise
funds for the Starship Foundation, in support of the national children’s
hospital.
The track which stars multi-platinum artist Ronan Keating and teenage Kiwi
actor Julian Dennison will be available on major streaming services Spotify,
iTunes, Google Play and Apple Music from this Friday, with all Air New Zealand
proceeds being donated to the Starship Foundation.
The airline’s Southern Hemisphere rewrite of Walking in a Winter Wonderland has
already been a smash hit with local and international audiences, gaining
exposure in global media outlets including the Daily Mail and MTV and trending
on Twitter and YouTube.
Air New Zealand’s General Manager Global Brand and Content Marketing Jodi
Williams says it’s exciting to work with Universal Music to rally fans behind a
great cause and add the unique track to their festive playlist.
“Partnering with Universal to release ‘Summer Wonderland’ commercially will
help spread the word globally about New Zealand as a destination. We’d love to
see the song hit number one so we’re calling on fans to get involved, and do
their bit for charity at the same time.
“Air New Zealand is a long-term supporter of the Starship Foundation so gifting
our share of the proceeds from its sale is the perfect way to get into the
spirit of the season and help make Christmas a bit brighter for those children
spending their holidays in hospital.”
The online video and lyrics for Air New Zealand’s ‘Summer Wonderland’ are
available here. The audio track
will be available to download on iTunes for NZD $1.29, and streaming on
Spotify, Apple Music and Google Play, from Friday December 9, 2pm New Zealand
time.
Note to Editors: A broadcast quality version of ‘Summer Wonderland’ and
behind the scenes footage is available HERE.
