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

“A Season of Magic” is part of SM Group’s collaboration with The Walt Disney Company
Southeast Asia to bring the Disney brand of stories closer to Filipinos through
mall, retail, entertainment and amusement opportunities. In a partnership
sealed in September, the two companies aim to bring Disney, Marvel, Pixar and
Star Wars brands to life through unique Disney experiences at SM’s many leisure
and entertainment properties.
“We are thrilled to be
associated with the iconic Walt Disney Company. Mr. Henry Sy Sr. envisioned and
purposed a second home for Filipinos across the nation where they can create
memorable bonding activities with their families through amusement facilities,
retail centers, and food establishments, all found in one mall. 65 years later,
and with 52 malls across the Philippines, it had just been high time that SM
forged an official collaboration with the best family entertainment company in
the world,” said Edgar Tejerero,
president of SM Lifestyle Entertainment, Inc.
