New Zealand's seasons run opposite to the northern hemisphere, with summer from December to February and winter from June to August, which shapes when the busiest months fall. Hāngī, a meal cooked in an earth oven, and the pavlova dessert belong to the country's food culture, and te reo Māori place names sit alongside English throughout.
