‘Tis the season of favorite things

Bathed in a warm, holiday glow, the main lobby of Solaire Resort Entertainment City came alive with festive wonder on 5 November 2026. At the heart of the celebration stood the resort’s centerpiece for its annual Christmas tree lighting ceremony — a towering spectacle draped in rich scarlet and shimmering gold, woven with delicate floral accents, surrounded by decorative gift boxes and crowned with a radiant golden star that officially ushered in the magic of the season.

The evening brought together distinguished guests and executives, including Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp. chairman and CEO Alejandro Tengco, Parañaque City Mayor Edwin Olivarez, Bloomberry Resorts Corp. president Gregory Hawkins and Solaire Resort Entertainment City chief operating officer Sean McCreery.

Setting the mood for the celebration, singer Sheila Valderrama joined the Ambassadors for Christ Chamber Singers for a musical performance that brought familiar Christmas melodies to the occasion. McCreery also delivered the evening’s welcome remarks.

Guests were treated to festive pass-around cookies, mulled wine and hot chocolate, adding a touch of seasonal indulgence to the gathering. The highlight of the evening came with the ceremonial lighting of the Christmas display, as the distinguished guests and resort executives gathered to illuminate the installation, officially welcoming the Christmas season at Solaire.

The celebration forms part of Solaire’s holiday campaign, “My Favorite Christmas at Solaire,” which centers on discovering meaningful experiences, from dining and entertainment to relaxation and leisure.

The campaign also features internationally acclaimed Filipino singer and actress Lea Salonga as the resort’s newest brand ambassador, bringing together Filipino excellence and the resort’s commitment to world-class hospitality.
