There’s no one way to celebrate Christmas. Each year on 24 - 26 December many New Zealanders gather with friends and family to take part in their personal traditions around the annual Christian holiday. People will gather to share food, give gifts and spend time together, and many will take the opportunity of consecutive public holidays and time off work to head off on a summer road trip.
No matter how people choose to celebrate, the Christmas holidays have an impact on every New Zealander. Workplaces will shut down between Christmas Day and the day after New Year’s Day, and children will have embarked on a long summer break from school. On Christmas Day, almost every business will be closed so people can be with their loved ones.

40% of reservations will be allocated in the Waitlist for MCP Priority Bidding. There is a 5,000 minimum Points bid for this blind box.
© 2024 NZ Post. All Rights Reserved. Used with Permission.
Waitlist will open 12 hours before drop time for verified/KYC'd users. If you enter the Waitlist and are lucky enough to secure a reservation, you will have 7 minutes to complete the purchase process. If you do not complete the purchase, your collectible reservation will be returned to the public pool and be available for users to purchase directly from the VeVe Store. More info on Waitlist Drops HERE.
These digital collectibles will be available for purchase as a blind box, meaning you won’t know which rarity you have acquired until after your successful purchase. From there, you can continue to expand your collection with additional blind boxes, or interact with other users in the Market to complete your set.
Upon entering the drop Waitlist, Collectors can opt to redeem Master Collector Program Points to bid on priority Waitlist selection for a collectible reservation. After a bid is placed, Collectors can increase their bid, and/or withdraw their bid up until the Waitlist closes.
At drop time, the highest bidders will be awarded a collectible reservation for the opportunity to complete their purchase using Gems at the Store price. At this point users' MCP Points are deducted from their MCP points balance. If users decide not to make a purchase, their MCP Points WILL NOT be refunded.
If a Collector is NOT successful in securing a collectible reservation using Priority Bidding, their MCP Points WILL NOT be deducted. These Collectors are considered in the Waitlist entry pool and still have a chance to win the drop via normal Waitlist selection logic.
Note: Collectors will only be able to secure a single purchase per successful reservation. Additional collectibles can be purchased after the reservation period ends, if inventory is available.
Secondary Market Fees
A 2% licensor fee will be applied to all NZ Post sales in the secondary market in addition to the existing VeVe 2.5% secondary market fee.
