If you watch Seven Sharp or listen to Newstalk ZB, you’ll know just how much Mike Hosking loathes the festive season fuss. So it’s nothing short of a Christmas miracle that the broadcasting Grinch appears on the cover of Woman’s Day’ Yuletide special.

But thanks to the persuasion of his beloved wife and Woman’s Day columnist Kate Hawkesby, Mike not only took part in the Christmas issue, but amid gripes and grumbles, he was coerced into outfits you couldn’t imagine possible. And much to his embarrassment, it was all caught on secret cameras for a Seven Sharp prank! You got punk’d Mike! What a good sport.
Mike and Kate are joined by a line-up of Kiwi stars – including Toni Street, Nadia Lim and Naz Khanjani – who share their Christmas memories and hopes for this year.


Also in this bumper issue, there are more than 50 pages of inspiration for Christmas, including a festive feast menu and baking recipes, crafty projects and loads of great gift ideas – plus fantastic free gifts to be won.
