With a festivity rich in Filipino traditions and heartfelt bliss, Seda Manila Bay warmly kicked off the holiday season with an alluring Christmas tree lighting ceremony.
The event brought together esteemed executives from AyalaLand Hospitality, valued media partners, and special guests to mark the beginning of the most wonderful time of the year.
At the heart of the occasion stands Seda Manila Bay’s iconic Christmas tree brimming with gold and silver tones embodying timeless artistry and legacy. Dressed in vibrant parols, intricate hand woven accents, and local fabric patterns, it showcased the exquisiteness of Filipino craftsmanship. The tree also paid homage to its iconic location in the bay area with embellishments of nautical twists such as anchor and captain wheel decors, symbolizing the camaraderie and synergy of Seda Manila Bay’s organization.
Infusing a distinct Pinoy touch, the lighting of the Christmas tree was stimulated through a special button that transports every Filipino closer to the festive nights of Simbang Gabi – a puto bumbong station. This unique feature activated by Seda Manila Bay’s director of sales Luis Abellar, Seda Hotels’ cluster general manager Kennedy Kapulong, and AyalaLand Hospitality’s chief operations officer Gustavo Morales, illuminated the tree and brought to life a Filipino yuletide spirit, evoking merriments filled with love and togetherness. The ceremony concluded with a holiday toast with fine champagne generously sponsored by Martini.
Curated by Seda Manila Bay’s remarkable culinary team, a lavish buffet featuring all-time Filipino classics and favorites was enjoyed by guests while being serenaded by a talented quartet performing beloved Filipino Christmas tunes. Highlights of the spread included a live station serving puto bumbong and bibingka, bringing the flavors of holiday feasts shared with loved ones.
The event also marked the official launch of Seda Manila Bay’s festive offerings from their cozy room accommodations to mouthwatering dining promotions such as Misto’s holiday-themed buffets, holiday goodies and hampers, Straight Up Bar’s yuletide dinner grill buffet, and New Year’s Eve Countdown Party.
