For Marian Rivera, the magic of Christmas lies in the moments she shares with her children. More than the festivities, she hopes the season leaves them with one lasting memory: how deeply they are loved. As she told DAILY TRIBUNE, “I love them very much.”

The actress hopes to spend the holidays surrounded by her loved ones, sharing traditions and enjoying the simple moments that make the season meaningful.

The spirit of togetherness also takes center stage in Once Upon A Christmas, a storybook-inspired holiday campaign launched on 16 October as part of Rustan’s 75th anniversary celebration.

The campaign features festive window displays depicting scenes such as “The Wish Upon A Star,” “The Christmas Train” and “The Heart of Christmas,” alongside seasonal installations and activities. The launch also unveiled the store’s refreshed façade.

A limited-edition 75th Anniversary Christmas Bear is available until 25 December with a minimum single-receipt purchase of P25,000 at stores and online.

Beyond the decorations and gifts, Rivera’s message serves as a reminder that the most meaningful Christmas memories are often built around family, love and time spent together.
