Screenshot of the menu mentioned in the toot showing the shortcut and the full form of the hashtag.

If you have an iPhone you can make typing the #SecretSantaAoNZ hashtag (or indeed anything you type a lot) easier in the Settings > General > Keyboard > Text Replacement menu! I’ve set “#sec” to auto-type “#SecretSantaAoNZ”!
