Holiday cheer soars at Crimson Hotel Filinvest City, ushering in the festive season with glitz, glee, and giving
This year’s Christmas season came alive with sparkle and cheer at Crimson Hotel Filinvest City, Manila’s highly anticipated Tree Lighting Ceremony on November 13. The hotel, a five-star gem situated in the heart of Alabang’s bustling business district, welcomed the festive season in grand style. With its stunning “Journey to Joy” theme, the event delivered an unforgettable evening of wonder, generosity, and a true sense of holiday magic.
Where wanderlust meets Yuletide wonder
The show-stopping centerpiece of the celebration was the grand Christmas tree, a towering symbol of the season’s joy and the theme of the night—Journey to Joy. Decked out in a bold, breathtaking array of Christmas colors, vintage suitcases, and whimsical hot air balloons, the tree was not just a festive decoration but a heartwarming homage to the joys of travel and adventure. The design captured a sense of wanderlust, pairing classic Yuletide elements with the spirit of exploration and discovery—perfectly reflecting the many dreams and journeys that the holiday season inspires.
The tree was a vibrant tableau that combined holiday cheer with a nod to the universal appeal of travel. Guests marveled at the intricate details as they took in the sight of this charming tree, which promised not only the usual holiday delights but also a sense of adventure and possibility—perfect for the season of goodwill and giving.

Heartwarming partnerships that matter
While the tree and festivities were undoubtedly the highlight, what truly made this evening sparkle was the hotel’s announcement of its heartwarming partnerships with two charitable organizations. Crimson Hotel’s commitment to social responsibility shone brightly through its collaboration with SOS Children’s Villages Pilipinas, an organization that has been dedicated to helping Filipino children in need since 1967. Through their Letters of Hope program, the hotel is helping fulfill holiday wishes and provide essential needs for children who have experienced neglect and abandonment, offering them a brighter, more hopeful future.
In addition, Crimson proudly revealed its partnership with the Sergia Esguerra Memorial Foundation (SEMFI), which runs the Philippine Institute for the Deaf (PID). This remarkable collaboration is helping empower children with hearing disabilities by providing them with new opportunities for skill development and potential internships at the hotel, offering these young people the chance to grow and thrive in an inclusive, supportive environment.
The announcements were met with warm applause, and the evening was made even more memorable by special performances from the children of PID and the De La Salle Zobel (DLSZ) Chorale. Their heartfelt renditions of Christmas carols brought the spirit of the season to life, leaving many in the audience teary-eyed with emotion. The joy and hope in the air were palpable, making it clear that the true meaning of Christmas—love, kindness, and giving—was alive and well at Crimson Hotel.
A multisensory culinary feast
Of course, no holiday event is complete without a delicious spread, and Crimson certainly did not disappoint. Guests were treated to an eye-catching charcuterie grazing table that was as much a visual delight as it was a culinary one. The stunning setup was a feast for the eyes, and the food—ranging from artisanal cheeses and cured meats to festive treats—was a true indulgence. This was followed by an enjoyable buffet dinner at Café Eight, where guests savored a wide array of delectable dishes in a warm, inviting atmosphere.
And as if on cue, Santa himself made an appearance at the buffet, bringing with him even more festive cheer and laughter. Ho ho ho!
Cheers to Christmas at Crimson!
The Tree Lighting Ceremony was attended by a wonderful mix of Crimson executives, led by General Manager Arlene Tongco, alongside friends, clients, and members of the media. Together, they helped make this holiday celebration an unforgettable experience. The warmth and camaraderie in the air, paired with the excitement of the season, made the evening a true celebration of the best parts of Christmas.
Crimson Hotel Filinvest City has once again proven why it is one of the premier destinations in Metro Manila, not just for its luxurious accommodations and world-class service, but for its commitment to spreading joy and giving back to the community.
