People can visit New Zealand at any season of the year although, of course, the spring, summer and autumn are the best times to go. Unless, of course, your interest is in skiing or related sports, in which case the season is late June to early November.
It's strange for people from the UK to see New Zealand at Christmas or New Year as it's bright, warm and sunny and yet there are Christmas decorations and Father Christmas effigies dressed in the familiar clothes of home. If you go at this time of the year, you'll find that the cities are deserted because New Zealanders go to the beaches for their annual holidays and nothing much happens for a fortnight or so.
Hot tip: one of the cheapest times to fly to New Zealand is the few days between Christmas and the New Year as people with families there tend to go for the whole of the holiday period and therefore get there before Christmas and come back after the New Year. So, the airlines tend to drop there prices for this short period.
The average minimum temperatures in NZ range from 10-20 degrees celsius in winter to 20-30 degrees celsius in summer. The North Island has a sub-tropical climate and is therefore warmer overall than the South Island.

Generally, New Zealand has a moderately high annual rainfall but it wouldn't be such a lovely green country if it didn't.
