Lanson Place Mall of Asia, Manila welcomed the holiday season with its annual Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony, highlighting this year’s theme, “Season of Joy.” The event celebrated togetherness, warmth, and the tradition of gathering with loved ones to make the season meaningful.
The ceremony was attended by prominent guests, including Ms. Elizabeth Sy, President of SM Hotels and Conventions Corporation; Mr. Hans Sy, Chairman of SM Prime Holdings Inc.; and Ms. Peggy Angeles, Executive Vice President of SM Hotels and Conventions Corporation, alongside Honourable Mayor Imelda Calixto-Rubiano of Pasay City.



A carefully curated musical programme, directed by Nestor Jardin, accompanied the evening. Performances by Vien King, The Opera Belles, and Bernie Pasamba and the Music Masters filled the lobby with orchestral elegance and festive spirit. Guests also enjoyed an elegant cocktail buffet prepared by the Lanson Place Culinary Team.



“The Season of Joy reminds us that happiness grows when shared,” said Nils Rothbarth, General Manager of Lanson Place Mall of Asia, Manila. “Whether through a kind gesture, a generous act, or the warmth of genuine hospitality, each of us can help make the world a little brighter.”
Ms. Peggy Angeles emphasized the significance of the evening’s theme:
“This evening, under the theme ‘Season of Joy,’ we gather not only to illuminate our Christmas tree but to kindle the spirit of hope, gratitude, and togetherness that this season brings. The twinkling lights before us are more than a festive display — they are a reminder that light finds its way even through the darkest nights.”
