TikTok star Verity returns to Coca‑Cola Christmas in the Park

Auckland pop/R&B artist Verity will return to Coca‑Cola Christmas in the Park for her third year, bringing her powerhouse voice to the Auckland Domain on Saturday 12 December after a year of international career milestones.

The singer-songwriter, whose performances have reached millions across social media, will join a talent-packed lineup for the nation’s favourite free Christmas party.
 

Verity blends soulful R&B with contemporary pop and emotionally honest songwriting. Her distinctive voice and viral performances have earned her more than 500,000 TikTok followers and caught the attention of international stars.
 

This December, she’ll share the big stage with crowd favourites Ella Monnery, Dillon Rhodes, Nate Peseta, Lavina Williams and Nyree Huyser, alongside exciting new talent including Cleo Fitzgerald, South Auckland sibling group Tribe of Ope, powerhouse vocalist Ellaphon Tauariki, soul-pop singer Henri Woodley, Josh Leys, Flynn Adamson and Wanganui based singer Sophie Toyne.
 

The performers will be joined by the six-member Coca‑Cola All Star Vocals, Nga Puna O Waiorea Kapa Haka, a ten-piece band, and more than 50 dancers from Freshmans Dance Crew, Studio 246, Auckland Academy of Dance and Red Alert.

Auckland welcomes back popular radio and television personality Simon Barnett who together with More FM co-host Lana Searle will MC the Auckland show. Barnett hosted the very first Coca‑Cola Christmas in the Park in 1994 and has since hosted the Christchurch show more than 20 times.
 

This year’s official charity is Kindness Collective, which delivers everyday essentials and Christmas joy through food and toys to families experiencing hardship. Funds raised through the events will help Santa reach more Kiwi families this Christmas.
 

Coca‑Cola Christmas in the Park takes place at the Auckland Domain on Saturday 12 December 2026, starting at 7.30 pm. Entry is free.
