SEDA Manila Bay ushered in the holiday season with a dazzling spectacle — the much-anticipated Christmas tree lighting event, aptly named “Holiday Sparkles by the Bay.”
The evening, attended by esteemed VIP guests and media partners, transformed the hotel into a captivating canvas illuminated by the warm tones of Apricot Crush and adorned with Filipiniana ornaments, seamlessly blending cultural richness with modern flair.
The chosen motif, Apricot Crush, not only aligns with the color of 2024 but also symbolizes new beginnings and exciting possibilities, as emphasized by Jeffrey Enriquez, Seda Manila Bay’s general manager, in his welcoming remarks. The event was more than a mere celebration; it was a proclamation of hope and joy for the coming year.
Beyond the captivating lights and festive decor, Seda Manila Bay showcased its commitment to social responsibility and community welfare by announcing its support for the Smile Train Foundation. This noble initiative, dedicated to assisting individuals with cleft palates, resonates with the hotel’s ethos of giving back. The announcement was met with appreciation from attendees who applauded the hotel’s dedication to making a positive impact on the lives of those in need.
In a symbolic gesture of unity and holiday cheer, Mr. Enriquez took the honor of lighting up the Christmas tree, wielding the yuletide hammer with enthusiasm. This trailblazing act not only marked the official commencement of the holiday season at Seda Manila Bay but also underscored the power of unity and the strength found in coming together during the festive merriments.
The enchantment didn’t stop with the tree lighting ceremony. Guests were treated to a magical display crafted by the hotel’s talented pastry team — a Filipino-inspired Christmas village named “Paskuhan sa Seda Manila Bay.” The village, adorned with meticulous details, transported guests into a whimsical scene reminiscent of holiday celebrations in communities across the Philippines. It was a delightful addition that added a sweet touch to the overall festive atmosphere.
Seda Manila Bay’s inaugural Christmas tree lighting event, coupled with its meaningful support for Smile Train and the enchanting Filipino-inspired Christmas village, encapsulated the true essence of the holiday spirit. The hotel, in its festive glory, continues to illuminate not just its premises but also the lives of those in need, embodying the true spirit of giving during this joyous season.
