Christmas in the Philippines is more than just a holiday. It’s a season rich with cultural traditions and practices that bring families and friends closer together – no wonder Filipinos love the holidays and celebrate Christmas as early as the first ‘Ber’ month.
A Filipino Christmas is rooted in creating moments that are not only joyful, but also deeply meaningful and filled with quality. The magic of Filipino Christmas comes alive every season through its warmth, unity, and joy felt in the treasured moments spent with loved ones – may it
be the fun Christmas dances performed in parties, the Christmas carols sung in every house, or the Noche Buena shared on Christmas eve. These moments shape how Filipinos celebrate the most wonderful time of the year.
Christmas is truly a season most awaited by Filipinos. That is why last November 9, Firefly Electric and Lighting Corporation celebrated this season with Filipinos by lighting its annual giant Firefly x Royu Christmas Tree in SM by the Bay with the theme “Celebright Moments of Quality.”
Standing tall at a spectacular height of 75 ft, the Firefly x Royu Christmas tree is a majestic symbol of Filipino tradition, united family bonds and the warmth of the Christmas spirit. The tree is illuminated by Firefly Lighting and powered by Royu Electrical, both powerhouse brands of FELCO in the lighting and electrical industry. It promises to be the centerpiece of this year’s celebrations at SM by the Bay, inviting Filipinos to come together and embrace the joy of the Holidays.
Designed by Filipino event stylist, Gary Dacanay, the giant Christmas tree embodies the modern Filipino Christmas celebration. It’s a perfect blend of contemporary and traditional designs – featuring the prominent colors of the Philippine flag as well as notable local crafts like
the capiz and ethnic woven patterns.
The Christmas tree lighting event at SM by the Bay last November 9 was a day to Celebright Moments of Quality with fun activities and amazing prizes and giveaways. Sud, the popular OPM band behind popular hit songs “Sila” and “Baliw”, was also one in CeleBrighting Moments of Quality as they performed under the dazzling display of lights of the giant Firefly X Royu Christmas tree.
The giant Firefly x Royu Christmas tree will be on display until January 2025.
