THE Filipinos definitely know how to celebrate Christmas in the most awesome ways. It is, after all, the most celebrated holiday in the Philippines. In the City of Smiles, SM City Bacolod has pulled out all the stops to make it a holiday to remember. Here are some of the highlights on the #aweSM Christmas feels making its way around the mall:

1. Delightful décor

From twinkly lights, sparkling ornaments, themed wall art, outdoor installations, and the hard-to-miss 40-foot Christmas Tree, every corner of SM City Bacolod tells you that it’s the most wonderful time of the year.

2. Full blast on Christmas songs

Whether you’re inside or outside the mall, there’s no escaping the sweet merry music of all-time favorite Yuletide songs, from the vocal stylings of Mariah Carey of the soothing voice of Jose Mari Chan.

3. Great bazaar finds

SM City Bacolod and Sabor Ilonggo bring together the best of bazaar goodies and treats in both the north and south wing buildings.

4. Shopping mania!

Through the Shopping Mania promo, SM City Bacolod is giving away a shopping treat of P10,000 worth of SM gift certificates every day for a total of 50 days. Simply present a single receipt covered by the promo period from any mall tenant worth P1,000 to redeem coupons.

5. Extended mall hours

Last-minute holiday shopping and annual barkada catch-ups are possible because of extended mall hours. Tonight (Saturday) and Sunday, SM City Bacolod closes at 12 midnight! On other days of this holiday season, mall hours are until 10 p.m.

6. The perfect place for reunions and parties galore.

Every night of the month is like a Christmas Eve celebration at SM City Bacolod. The mall houses the biggest number of restaurants in one place. There are also great choices at the food court. Even parties and special events are booked at the SMX Convention Center! This “mall for all” makes it possible for Christmas gatherings with friends, co-workers, school buddies and family to happen.

The holiday spirit is in the air and your #ChristmaSMoments can be made even more special at SM City Bacolod. (PR)
