The holidays are in full swing with Christmas carols filling the halls, and tinsel and mistletoe decorating every corner of the shops. New, delightful experiences await customers this Yuletide season, and leading the exciting festivities is Ayala Malls, the premier lifestyle mall in the country.
Ayala Malls kicked off the holiday season with “Lov’Em Lit Holidays” on Nov. 9, 2016 at The Gallery, Greenbelt 5. “Christmas is close to our hearts because it’s about family. And this year, we want our shoppers to feel a heart-warming Christmas at Ayala Malls – it being their second home. We have put together activities that the whole family can enjoy together – a dance production that will mesmerize, symphonies that will captivate, and, of course, our Christmas markets where shoppers can get wonderful gift ideas,” shares Rowena Tomeldan, President of Ayala Land Malls Inc.
At the Christmas launch, Jaime Zobel Ayala, a staunch supporter of the arts, unveiled his newest contemporary work, a mix of photos and textures that capture the color, vibrancy and energy of the Christmas spirit. This amazing piece – which is on display inside the tunnel leading to Greenbelt 3 – is one of his many efforts to celebrate Pinoy culture.
At the event launch, Ayala Malls also debuted its special video, “Lov’ Em This Christmas.” This unique presentation, created in collaboration with Ayala Malls’ partners, service providers and customers, aims to inspire and showcases some of the familiar faces at Ayala Malls.
