Ayala Malls Manila Bay welcomed the yuletide season by transforming its garden into a full-on holiday destination with the launch of  “Christmas at the Bay” on 30 November. 

The launch featured performances from rising star Dionela and OPM legend Ely Buendia, which perfectly set the tone, offering a holiday breeze.   

Beyond shopping, Giftville, the mall’s curated and nostalgia-meets-now holiday town located at the Central Garden, offers a variety of holiday-infused experiences for mallgoers, running from 27 November to 18 January 2026. 

Its zones, The Taste Commons, The Gift Lab, The Archive, Merry Lane, The Yuletide Atelier, and Bloom Room, feature photobooths, flower shops, beverage stations ranging from frozen margarita and coffee, food shops, and of course, gift items.

Ayala Malls Manila Bay will also showcase a 6-minute show in their one-hectare garden, with a breathtaking 3D LED Christmas experience, light shows, and fireworks. Shows run from 6:30 PM to 10 PM every Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday, until 8 January 2026.

Sundays are also special when you experience it at Christmas by the Bay, as chorale performances and busking are free to watch every Sunday from 5 PM to 7 PM, with a meet-and-greet with Santa Claus, who roams around the area.
