SM unveils MOA Night of Lights 2025: Christmas in the Sky

SM Mall of Asia is elevating its holiday festivities with the launch of MOA Night of Lights 2025: Christmas in the Sky, a large-scale seasonal celebration featuring live performances, immersive attractions, and a dramatic aerial display designed to redefine how Filipinos experience Christmas.

Now in its fifth year, MOA Night of Lights has become an exclusive tradition of SM Mall of Asia. The event will be held on November 23 and 30 and December 7 and 14, 2025, with festivities beginning at 6 p.m. at the Central Atrium for the Christmas Spectacle Show, followed by the Drone Show at MOA Sky at 7 p.m.

The celebration opens at the Central Atrium, where Santa Claus and beloved Christmas characters present a 15-minute live performance. The show’s synchronized music, lighting, and choreography set the evening’s festive tone before guests move to the North Plaza at MOA Sky for the aerial program.

As night falls, MOA unveils a series of new Christmas scenes and vivid formations that illuminate the sky. Each sequence is choreographed to holiday music, creating a visual narrative presented through light and motion. The aerial showcase expands on MOA’s commitment to offering world-class, innovative Christmas entertainment unavailable elsewhere in the country.

Guests are encouraged to explore MOA’s wide selection of dining options—ranging from holiday snacks to full meals—located throughout the mall’s restaurants and food stalls. Admission to the event is free, and pets are welcome. Pet owners are reminded to keep their pets leashed and wearing diapers at all times.

To accommodate visitors, parking will be available in several areas, including MOA North and South Parking Buildings, NU MOA, MAAX, SM by the BAY, S Maison, North Open Parking, One, Two, and Five E-Com Open Parking Areas, SMX, and the Esplanade Seaside Terminal. Organizers encourage early arrival on event dates.

Guests may take photos and videos throughout the celebration and are invited to share their experience online by tagging @TheMallofAsiaOfficial and using #MOANightofLights2025. Personal drones are prohibited for safety, but professional cameras and tripods are allowed provided they do not obstruct viewing areas.
