Ayala Malls Glorietta officially ushered in the holiday season with the highly anticipated unveiling of its 2025 Christmas tree — a dazzling centerpiece that drew crowds, cameras, and plenty of Christmas cheer.

The evening began with a festive spread of holiday bites and beverages, complemented by live music from a talented quintet whose repertoire ranged from classical favorites to modern Christmas tunes. Guests mingled, took photos, and soaked up the warm, anticipatory atmosphere as the countdown to the big reveal approached.

When it was time to proceed to the viewing zone, excitement rippled through the crowd. Before the tree could be officially unveiled, Ayala Malls Marketing head Mae Dichupa and Ayala Malls Cluster general manager for Glorietta and One Ayala, David Bennie took to the stage.

In a charming, theatrical moment, the two opened a large, gift-wrapped box — symbolic of the season’s spirit of giving. As they opened, the massive white curtain surrounding the centerpiece dropped, and ped, gasps and applause filled the air.

Before the audience stood a spectacular, shimmering Christmas tree soaring 66 feet high, a height that organizers proudly note makes it the tallest indoor Christmas tree in Metro Manila.

Its towering form was adorned with thousands of lights, gleaming ornaments, and intricate details that danced in sync with the holiday music.

The tree’s golden glow and impressive scale instantly transformed the mall atrium into a winter wonderland in the tropics, capturing their theme: “that holiday feeling.”
