The year is almost coming to an end! 2025 has certainly been a whirlwind, but one thing that can’t be taken away from us Filipinos is our Christmas spirit. Be inspired and spend the last few weeks of the year with enough holiday cheer by visiting these attractions that are a mix of open spaces and innovative theme parks!

This 2025, the theme is Paskong Likha: A Textured Filipino Christmas Experience. See installations that reflect our culture, such as weavings, traditional patterns, and even the sarimanok and anahaw. Different performances are also on during the weekends.
