They do things a little differently in Aotearoa.

Star of Hunt for the Wilderpeople and all-around Kiwi legend, Julian Dennison, stars alongside Irish singer Ronan Keating for a Christmas carol with a difference this year.

Air New Zealand's latest funny video sees Dennison play the role of music producer, ordering Keating to change the words to "Winter Wonderland" -- making them more relevant Down Under.

Whether it's your bro glistening (with sweat, because it's hot), or avoiding prickles from your nan (if you know, you know), the Christmas carol's lyrical redux is a vast improvement from the original TBH.

Turns out Dennison is just as funny and sweet as his Wilderpeople character in real life, if not more so.

Speaking of: The Taika Waititi-directed film is available on Netflix, so get amongst it bro! You won't regret it.
