Christmas in the Park was the event of the year
when I was a kid.
It was massive.
Attended by 250,000 people in Auckland.
Now, you're probably wondering
how did they get so many people to come along?
Well, the advertising for the event
was just splendid.
Take a look at the official ad
for Christmas in the Park 2009.
Yo what up ladies, look it's Drew here.
uh, I just wanna say a quick message to you
look I love you for starters, but also
merry christmas and I got a present for yas right here.
Oh ohhh.
Yep, that's right. This crazy chicken
graced the stage of Christmas in the Park every year.
Alongside performances from Frankie Stevens,
Michael Murphy,
and Dane Rumble.
Oh, no, don't touch. Don't touch me.
No. Don't touch.
One of the standouts of every Christmas in the Park
was of course, Michael Murphy.
He gave it his absolute best
every single time.
Holy shit!
The crowd at these events were just never lit enough though.
There is more depth in a puddle in the parking lot
than in that performance.
Another classic performer at Christmas in the Park
was Frankie Stevens.
He performed at the event for years and years
and in the year 2000 he was a very interesting host
A very merry christmas to you my little wahines.
Ladies and gentlemen, up here we have
three fine examples of New Zealand womanhood
who are going to show you exactly
what doing the hula is all about
ladies, show em what it's all about.
If a woman can't show me what the hula is all about
then she's not a woman. Straight up, that's the law.
In between performances at Christmas in the Park
the host would sometimes just happen to
stumble upon random NZ celebs.
Hey look who we found! It's Marie and James
from The Block.
Ugh, no.
I have come across Brooke and Kimberley, guys.
Oh, you just happened to stumble across
Kim Crossman and Brooke Howard-Smith,
two NZ celebs who are known for being BFFs
and known for loving Christmas in the Park.
It's so much fun, we're almost finished filming
and it's on air at the beginning of next year.
And what Christmas messages do you have
to everyone out there today?
Merry Christmas.
Holy fuck.
That was so powerful.
Thank you Brooke.
Thank you.
Enjoy this beautiful country, get out there.
Go to the beach. Go for a hike,
if you're that way inclined.
He just means if you're straight.
I know that he means that.
Jackie Thomas, winner of X Factor
was also a performer and an interviewee
at this event.
Jackie Thomas, you have become
a household name this year.
Now we're heading into next year, 2014,
what do you have planned for the summer and next year?
Christmas in the Park would just not be
Christmas in the park without Drew Neemia.
He was the star of every show.
I remember when rock was young,
me and Susie had so much fun.
Oh my god I'm so sorry, wrong clip.
Sorry.
Do do do do do do do do do do
baby won't you come right back.
Drew, this is a family event.
This actually looks quite familiar for some reason.
I got a present for you, it's right here.
Oh oh!
Ah!
They don't call you Cleo Bachelor of the year nominee
2006 for nothing, Mr. Neemia.
Gidday my name is Drew and I'm looking
for a girl with personality plus.
She's gotta have a great sense of humour,
and willing to stick it out through thick and thin.
I have a great sense of humour.
It mainly involves me making fun of Drew Neemia
though, is that an issue?
The show had so many great performers though.
Zac from Shorty Street was dancing on the stage
to Christina Perry one year.
It was raining. It was bloody beautiful.
Hang on, I've seen this before.
No, don't slip! AAAH!
Preventing slips around Coca-Cola Christmas in the Park
can be as easy as using a bath mat.
Where did you go guys?
Frankie Stevens:
Frankie loves posting on his social media.
He uses text language, which is kind of disturbing.
He also posted this photo of his grandson
kissing his girlfriend, and wrote
Chur. Chur u fullas.
No. What is wrong with straight people?
That is not okay.
He posted a link to his website
promoting himself as an MC,
Don't wait! Do it now!
Then you click on the link, this is what comes up.
Ah! Franks!
What the fuck is going on mate?
I have not heard anything from Jackie Thomas
in years.
She has some very concerning tweets on her twitter though.
This one says: I love it when grapes ferment
#realmagic.
This other one says:
5am and can't sleep .. Time to fry some rice
This is weird, I need to get out of here.
Drew keeps a very low profile these days.
But I have my ways.
I found Drew's personal Spotify account.
He's got a playlist called Love Mix.
I assume that's his playlist for making love.
It's got nine songs on it. One for each sesh.
One of the songs on it is by Robin Thicke,
and oh! Two of the songs, Chris Brown.
Awesome.
He's also got a playlist called Shower mix.
It's got six songs on it, and oh!
Two of them are by Chris Brown again.
He also blocked me on instagram.
Oh Drew. Drew.
Drew,
Drew.
Woah!
Neemia.
It's always been Drew!
Tickle tickle.
I've spent so much time making fun of Drew
but he's all I think about.
I love Drew.
Alexa, play Drew's love mix.
I need ya Drew,
I gotta see ya Drew,
and there's hearts all over the world tonight,
yeah there's hearts all over the world tonight
with Drew,
yeah.
With Drew,
with Drew,
yeah.
