A Wellington City councillor is questioning whether half a million dollars is enough to spend on Christmas.

After being lambasted for a lack of Christmas cheer last year, the council's now going to spend more than $500,000 on making the city feel festive.

Moves include plans for two Christmas trees, there was none last year.

Councillor Iona Pannett has this morning questioned whether it's enough, saying half a million dollars sounds like a lot, but doesn't actually go that far.
