Spreading Christmas cheer: Nova’s Jase, Lauren and Clint turn into Santa’s helpers

A month out from Christmas Day, Santa photo sessions are already booked out at regular venues across Melbourne, leaving many families disappointed.

So, Nova 100’s Breakfast team is stepping in to help.

Jase Hawkins, Lauren Phillips and Clint Stanaway will be at the Frankston Christmas Festival this Saturday – November 29 – from 4.30pm–6pm, helping families capture their annual Santa photos.

Announcing the news on-air this morning, Lauren said “Santa is in demand. So what we decided was, we got on to our friends in the North Pole and said, ‘When would Santa be available?’ … because we need to do some Santa photos for our friends, our listeners.”

Jase said “The big man in red will be there as well. So if you had trouble getting into shopping centres to get your Christmas photos, come along.”

Clint added “We are Santa’s helpers … I can’t wait for this!”

The trio will don elf costumes for the afternoon, promising warm interactions with kids, plus plenty of light-hearted moments and festive charm.

The team will be greeting families, helping settle little ones for their photos and spreading cheeky Christmas energy throughout the precinct.
