THE MAGIC OF CHRISTMAS STARTS AT SM CITY NORTH EDSA



Christmas is not just a celebration, but an experience.A truly magical experience that needs to be found. Each and every one of us has a certain charmed moment during the holidays, a certain mystique that no one else can experience.
Kids and kids-at-heart are expected to enjoy an enchanting Christmas at all SM malls nationwide starting this weekend, November 6 to 8, with well-loved cartoon and toy characters joining the launch revelries of SM’s Grand Christmas celebration. 

Festivities start at SM North EDSA on November 6, where all-time favorite Disney characters were present during the launch of “A Season of Magic”. To make the event more meaningful, children from a selected beneficiary were given a chance to personally meet Disney characters Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, and had a first peek at the main attraction – the Disney Village. A medley of favorite Disney songs was performed by the Manila Philharmonic Orchestra and the Mandaluyong Children’s Choir.

Throughout the weekend, the fun continues with other malls all over the country simultaneously launching their own Christmas centerpieces featuring various animated characters and Christmas themes. These include Disney’s Frozen, Barbie, Cartoon Network, Toy Factory and 100 Elves, Snoopy and Charlie Brown, Nickelodeon, Disney Princess, Disney Junior, Adventure Time, Lego Christmas Adventure, and Sanrio Holiday, among others.

“We are just as excited as children everywhere as SM officially starts the holiday with our biggest themed Christmas celebrations yet. Christmas at our malls is for kids and the young at heart, so we have gathered the most number of cartoon and comic character themes ever in our 55 malls nationwide. Each mall will be decorated with giant installations and picture-worthy pockets of Christmas fun that will form part of kids’ memories until they become parents themselves,” SM Supermalls’ Senior Vice-President for Marketing Jonjon San Agustin
