Christmas is truly the most wonderful time of the year at Filinvest City. This year, the 244-hectare township takes the celebration beyond festive lights, bringing new life to its open spaces and transforming them into vibrant spots where the community can gather, celebrate, and connect. 

Central Park dazzles with oversized snowflakes and botanicals around the giant Christmas tree. Snow-colored reindeer and crystal-shaped pines light up Creekside, while glowing butterflies and flowers cast a tranquil glow around the Chapel, creating pockets of joy and wonder throughout the city.

Aside from the magical flora and fauna, dazzling events are also happening every week in Filinvest City. From open-air live music to a food bazaar that brings people together under the stars, every experience invites Cityzens to rediscover their favorite spaces as places of belonging and celebration. 

Empowered by its 2025 Christmas theme “Celebrate Magical Christmas Moments”, Filinvest City shows that the magic of the season shines brightest when people come together. More than the bright lights and festive atmosphere, these magical moments are made possible by the true meaning of Christmas: love and togetherness. 

Celebrate magical Christmas moments

What makes the attractions at Filinvest City truly magical is the innate connectedness of Filipinos. By opening its parks, walkways, and open spaces as gathering points, Filinvest City creates opportunities for families and friends to bond and make lasting memories. This is the heart of Filinvest City’s celebrations – spaces that bring people closer, one festive moment at a time. 

What started as a simple gathering – where people watched Filinvest City become brighter than ever for the holidays – has grown into a cherished tradition that celebrates what truly makes Christmas bright: its vibrant community. This year is no exception, as Filinvest City’s theme “Celebrate Magical Christmas Moments” echoes its commitment to building a more connected Metro South. 

Christmas activities and festivities for everyone

“What’s special about Christmas in Filinvest City is how people naturally gather here,” said Don Ubaldo, head of Filinvest Townships. “Our parks and open spaces become places where everyone can slow down, connect, and just enjoy being with the people they love.”

Enjoy live OPM performances by SunKissed Lola on November 29 and Earl Agustin on December 13, filling Central Park with festive energy and holiday cheer.

Food lovers can also indulge at the Eats by the Park Food Bazaar, which is open from Friday to Sunday at 5 pm to 10 pm, where flavors from around the world come together to add a delicious touch to every celebration. 

These holiday experiences transform Filinvest City’s open spaces into vibrant spots where the community can gather, celebrate, and create lasting memories – truly bringing the magic of Christmas to life. 

Where open spaces bring the community closer

Beyond the grandeur and glamor, Christmas at Filinvest City is about togetherness and celebrating the season in open, accessible spaces. People wake up early for the traditional Simbang Gabi, a nine-day novena mass where they eagerly anticipate Christmas Day with their beloved. 

Who doesn’t want to come home to Filinvest City? Developed with nature in mind, its open spaces have an almost-magnetic effect on anyone who steps inside the master-planned urban development. 

As Mother Nature intertwines with its districts, life gets better every day in Filinvest City. The city’s parks, pathways, and public spaces serve as a canvas where people can walk, gather, and create memories – embodying the true essence of a connected, sustainable community. 

With open arms, entrepreneurs are enticed to expand their horizons in the heart of the holidays. As modern conveniences continue to converge with nature and smart innovations, Filinvest continues to shape up as the premier destination in the Metro South.
