Air New Zealand Releases Christmas Classic with Ronan Keating and Julian Dennison

Air New Zealand has released an online video Summer Wonderland that captures the fun as Hunt for the Wilderpeople star Julian Dennison directs a reluctant Ronan Keating in a witty rewrite of Walking in a Winter Wonderland. The homegrown lyrics will remind local audiences of the moments that make a Kiwi Christmas. Ronan Keating and Julian Dennison are an unlikely duo but had plenty of laughs recording the antipodean remix.

Teenager Julian Dennison plays the part of Ronan Keating’s producer in the video and says even though he was in awe of the music legend, their jam session was one of his career highlights.

“My job in the video is to sell Ronan on the idea of a sunny outdoor Christmas – the kind of day I’m looking forward to sharing with my family, jamming on the guitar or ukulele and chillaxing.”

The video was released today on the airline’s social media channels and at airnzchristmas.co.nz.
