"Santa will be styling in a white convertible Cadillac, that is how he rolls at the Papamoa Santa Parade."
There would be 50 floats in this year's celebration and a "post parade party" afterwards in collaboration with the Little Big Markets. The party would feature rides, a petting zoo, balloons, face painting and a bouncy castle.
Mrs Percy said they were excited about the big day and sharing the event with the community.
Te Puke's Christmas Float Parade organiser Peter Miller said the town's parade was always held on the first Saturday of December and entries for floats were still coming in steadily.
As with last year, there would be a section of the parade where people could walk their pets.
"Last year some people walked some rather strange pets, it's open to everything."
More than 25 floats featured in last year's parade, with both sides of Te Puke's main street packed with onlookers.
The Lion's Club of Katikati Santa Parade organiser David Eddy was also expecting a big crowd.
"It's always well received and have a large crowd of people to view the parade.
"The Christmas parade has been a part of the community history for quite a number of years so families like to go to them to get some enjoyment as a prelude to Christmas."
The parade would finish at Moore Park where Santa in the Park would kick off, he said.
