- Christmas in the Philippines is a season rooted in traditions that span generations, creating a truly heartwarming experience. From festive family gatherings like Noche Buena to the playful exchanges of Monito/Monita, every tradition strengthens the bonds of family and friendship. Holiday gatherings nurture connections, while Simbang Gabi unites communities in spiritual reflection. Godparents, known as ninongs and ninangs, share blessings, and the sounds of joyful carolers fill the air, while traditional treats like puto bumbong and bibingka bring back cherished childhood memories.
This year, Ayala Malls Abreeza invites everyone to relive these moments of warmth and nostalgia with its “Christmas in my Home” campaign. Through this campaign, Ayala Malls celebrates the uniquely Filipino way of observing Christmas by bringing art to life, with beloved traditions woven into every corner of our spaces.
Ayala Malls collaborated with artist Robert Labayen to create a series of vibrant, colorful artworks which can be seen around the mall as decorations. These paintings beautifully depict beloved Filipino Christmas traditions such as Simbang Gabi, family and barkada get-togethers, Noche Buena, gift-giving with Ninong and Ninang, and classic Filipino Christmas delicacies. Each artwork captures the festive spirit and cultural richness of the season.
The successful execution of Christmas in my Home campaign in Ayala Malls Abreeza is made special with its partnership with the Down Syndrome Association of the Philippines (DSAPI) – Davao Branch, whose members contributed beautifully painted parol ornaments, now adorning our Christmas tree. On top of that, the powerhouse of creative teams from T’nalak Home and Amakan Designs played a pivotal role in crafting the artistic, unique mall decors that transforms every visit into a memorable holiday experience.
Adding to the festive atmosphere, Ayala Malls introduces a heartwarming holiday song titled Christmas in My Home, performed by singer Mix Fenix. This uplifting tune will play throughout the mall, welcoming shoppers and filling the air with the joyful spirit of Christmas.
