GH Mall: A Merrier Christmas Together
GH Mall in San Juan City teamed up with Uniqlo for a Brooklyn-inspired Christmas set in its South Wing Atrium. The mall held its tree lighting with a performance from the Manila Symphony Orchestra. The season also marks the 95th year of Ortigas Land.
There is a lot to do this season. The mall is planning a Christmas Bubble Rush, Santa meet-and-greets, live caroling, a mascot parade, gingerbread and ornament workshops, and even a Christmas Pawty for pets.
“We are creating more opportunities for people to gather, celebrate, and make lasting memories,” said Renee Bacani, vice president and head of Ortigas Malls, as reported by The Manila Times.
Monique Castañeda, AVP and head of marketing at Ortigas Malls, said the tree has a deeper meaning. “Being able to light up the Christmas tree thus becomes a symbol of hope,” she said.
Rustan’s: Once Upon A Christmas
Rustan’s is turning 75, and its holiday windows look like pages from a storybook. The scenes include The Wish Upon A Star, The Enchanted Workshop, The Christmas Train and The Heart of Christmas.
- Spend at least P25,000 in one receipt until December 25 to get a 75th Anniversary Bear.
- Santa visits the Makati, Shangri-La, Alabang Town Center and Gateway stores on different dates.
- Pick a wish tag from the Angel Tree to give a gift to a child in need.
Mitsukoshi BGC: A Very Kawaii Christmas

Glorietta and Ayala Malls
Ayala Malls lit an 80-foot Christmas tree at the Glorietta Activity Center on November 11. The Designers Holiday Bazaar comes to Glorietta from November 27 to December 6, and free gift wrapping is open at several Ayala Malls, including Glorietta, Greenbelt and One Ayala.
What Happens Next
Most of these displays will stay up until the end of December, and new events are added each week. Keep in mind that November 16 to 18 are special non-working days in Metro Manila for the ASEAN Summit, so malls may be busier than usual and some roads near Pasay will be closed. Check each mall’s social media pages for the latest schedules before you go.
