It’s
a bright and scintillating Christmas at the Circuit Makati, home of the city’s
immersive and awe-inspiring Christmas tree.
Blazing
against the night sky with an explosion of lights, the 56-foot, interactive
Christmas tree redefines the Makati skyline as it welcomes everyone to Circuit
Makati, the lifestyle and entertainment destination for those who want the best
that the holidays can offer.
In
partnership with Mastercard and Alveo, last November 18, this magnificent
masterpiece made purely of 250,000 sparkling lights brought light to the
biggest, hippest, Circuit Makati Bazaar 2016. Around the tree, 2,500 strands,
each with 100 lights, plus 150 sets of meteor lights, create a magical
spectacle that showcases the grandeur of Christmas.
From
sun up to sun down, the thousands who flocked the 3-day bazaar, co-presented by
Mastercard and HSBC, for its six
Christmas villages-- Star Avenue featuring gift finds from top local
celebrities, Mommy’s Best by Project Mom (headed by Amanda Griffin and Bianca
Araneta-Elizalde), Lil’ Preneur by HedCen, Millenial Spot (with merchants from
Karl Edwards and Kaizen Events Inc.), Fit and Fab by Hunt and Gather, and
Mercato Centrale, not only shopped their
heart’s delight, but also witnessed the breathtaking Christmas tree.
In addition, guests were serenaded with Christmas carols from The Voice
Kids and the students of HedCen, coupled with dance and other acoustic
performances. Exciting activities such as the photography workshop by Canon and
Nikon, a Zumba party, and a raffle with prizes from Oppo, Power Mac Center
Spotlight, SandBox Alviera, Nuvali CampN, and Mystery Manila delighted everyone
who went to enjoy the Christmas rush.
Giving
a new dimension to Christmas trees, the giant Circuit Makati tree can be
accessed from inside and out giving a more immersive experience for all. Come
inside and marvel at the sight of countless moving lights, many of which have
been recycled from the previous years with the aim of staying environmentally
friendly. To bring more life to the Christmas tree, it has been jazzed up
with more color to evoke a youthful and vibrant vibe, and sprinkled it with
circular patterns inspired the Globe Circuit logo. The result is simply
spectacular.
“This
year, we wanted to curate another magnificent display with a modern and
interactive Christmas tree that’s sure to entice our visitors,” said Shiella
Aguilar, in keeping with Ayala Land’s efforts to bring bright lights to various
estates across the country, transforming its developments into a Christmas
wonderland where people can come together and feel the magic of the season.
The Circuit Makati Christmas tree will continue to bring
joy until January 8, 2017. Indeed,
bright lights are bringing Christmas cheer to the ever-bustling city. As if this were not enough, Ayala Land has upped the ante as it lined up
exciting fun-filled activities and great entertainment for every member of the
family this season.
Visit the Ayala Triangle Gardens to witness the nightly
Festival of Lights, a world-class lights and sounds show that has become a
yearly Makati signature attraction that never fails to elicit oohs and aahs
from everyone with its 3 distinct medleys: Christmas Fiesta, Classic and Epic
Christmas, Sweet and Magical Christmas that will run daily until January 8,
2017, every 30 minutes from 6PM to 10PM.
Beyond this lights and sounds show is a dynamic, stained
glass inspired street lights installations in time-honored Christmas themes
that lights up Paseo de Roxas, Ayala Avenue and Makati Avenue. Hand in hand
with these are Christmas festivities that make Christmas in Makati truly
memorable. There will be daily Thanksgiving masses at the Ayala Triangle
Gardens Fountain Area every evening at 6pm from December 15 to 23.
On December 19, witness Makati high school chorale groups
serenade everyone with well-loved Christmas carols at the Makati Inter-High
School Caroling Competition at the Globe Circuit Events Grounds.
