For the Secret Santa gift-giving, Twitter users are randomly assigned a person to buy a gift for.
Those involved must search for clues on the person’s Twitter profile, while contributors are also encouraged to tweet hints about the perfect gift.
While one person will receive a gift from Ms Ardern, another will have to give a gift to New Zealand’s new Prime Minister.
“I’ve just signed up for awesomeness at #nzsecretsanta. Cos our PM did. looks like fun, come play!” tweeted one.
Another wrote: “Gasp. What do you get the PM if you get her for #nzsecretsanta?”
NZ Secret Santa said there has been a large interest in signing up after Ms Ardern joined the event.
Everyone else will still be assigned someone and that someone will be counting on YOU to come through with an amazing gift, just for them!

If you've signed up with the idea that you'll get a gift from the PM for Christmas, that'll likely not be the case. 2/?
We do have a finite number if gifts in the BAD Santa Gift Stash for folks who get the raw end of the deal, but these are limited. They will run out, and people will miss out, if you don't all do your part.
