The big man in the red suit was in danger of not appearing in Petone, after the local retailers group, the Jackson St Programme, had a $30,000 shortfall in funding following the coronavirus lockdown.
The group organises an annual parade, and a Christmas grotto, where children can meet Santa. It also provides a letter writing service, which last year had more than 2300 children asking Father Christmas for everything from Barbie dolls to racing car sets.
A recent Stuff article highlighted the financial shortfall, with programme co-ordinator Hellen Swales noting it did not even have enough money to pay the council to close the road for the parade.
Swales says the publicity resulted in a lot of support and she is now confident the celebrations will go ahead.

About 65 members of the community gathered for an open forum-style meeting at the Louise Bilderbeck Hall.
Senior sergeant Brad Allen said gangs offered youth money, kudos and power.
“It’s not just an issue that’s going to be solved at this meeting, it’s a long-term thing,” Allen said, referring to a lack of activities for youth in the area.
Wainuiomata Trail Park president Dirk Skagen said there had been a number of recent incidents “endangering the safety of park users”.
When people approached the police or council previously, they did not respond with urgency, he said.

Read what she had to say about her godwit/kuaka pictures.
"Sometimes the most extraordinary birds come in the plainest of packaging, and so it is for the bar-tailed godwit/kuaka (Limosa lapponica). Their plain packaging is of course a perfect camouflage - with variegated shades of brown echoing the ripples of mud and sand where they feed.
Seen here foraging on a mud flat at the Waikanae River estuary, they shove their long beaks into the muddy sand and pull up rubbery bits of Godwit-knows-what which they gulp with gusto – not surprising as they are probably absolutely famished.
These migratory birds begin arriving in New Zealand from early September, after an extraordinary often non-stop eight to nine-day 11,000-12,000 km flight from western Alaska.
We are also lucky enough to get the occasional bird on Petone Beach and around the Hutt Estuary, but I was thrilled to see eight in non-breeding plumage congregated on the mud at Waikanae."

Trampers wanting to access popular huts in the northern Tararuas (including Kime Hut, pictured) are likely to face access problems for sometime.

The section of Ōtaki Gorge Road known as Blue Bluff remains unstable and is likely to remain closed for the peak summer period.
As well as a camping ground, it is also a major entrance point for trampers and hunters accessing the Tararua Forest Park.
The slip, 12km in from SH1, is a major one. Kāpiti Coast District Council Access and Transport Manager Glen O’Connor says expert geotechnical advice is that further slipping could occur at any time, and may be extensive.
Engineers are waiting for the slip to move before deciding what the best long term solution is.
The Department of Conservation is working to find alternative public access to the huts and walks in the forest park and is expected to have options for trampers by summers.
You truly can achieve anything. If you want something bad enough, there’s nothing to stop you from achieving it.
Father Christmas is coming back to Petone. The Jackson St Programme was struggling to fund Christmas activities but after recent publicity on Neighbourly and in the Hutt News, it has announced that its Christmas Parade is on Friday 27 November.
