LAC "Where Wellness Meets Art" Thanksgiving 2025

     LAC Philippines gathered media partners, friends, and wellness advocates at Rockwell Makati for “Where Wellness Meets Art,” a Thanksgiving celebration filled with gratitude, creativity, and holistic self-care.

     The intimate event doubled as a year-end appreciation and a gentle reminder to slow down and nurture personal well-being. Guests joined mindful activities, such as flower arranging and pot painting—simple, grounding rituals that reflect LAC’s belief that wellness begins from within.

Holiday Tables Get a Twist: Makes Christmas Gathering Creative with MR. HAT GULAMAN

     Christmas is all about traditions—familiar flavors, family gatherings, and tables full of dishes that remind us of home. But in between the classics, there's always space for something new. Whether you're hosting Noche Buena for the family , attending an office potluck, or planning a barkada get-together, it’s the perfect time to bring something unexpected to the table. This season, the question is: Bagong dessert sa handaan? #NasaHatkoYan. One ingredient that’s been quietly stepping up its game this season? MR. HAT GULAMAN.

     Often seen as a summer staple, gulaman is being reimagined in kitchens everywhere—not just as a nostalgic treat, but as a flexible, creative base for sweet and savory holiday creations. MR. HAT GULAMAN opens you up to new food and drink recipes during Christmas. And when it comes to potluck-ready, crowd-friendly food ideas, MR. HAT GULAMAN offers more possibilities than you might expect.

Holidays Around the World at GH Mall's International Christmas Display

     For Filipinos, Christmas is never a quiet affair because of the sheer joy from being together. Christmas is laughter shared over food, children running toward twinkling lights, and families strolling hand in hand through bright streets and malls. It’s the sound of choirs, the scent of Christmas ham, the sound of church bells during Simbang Gabi and the feeling that everyone you love is a little closer this time of year.

     This is the spirit that fills GH Mall as it ushered in the most anticipated season with its Annual Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony last November 14 at the East Wing Atrium. The ceremony was graced by special guests and city officials, including San Juan City Mayor Francis Zamora, Ortigas Land President and CEO Junie Jalandoni, EVA Airways Corporation General Manager Rick Hsieh, and RCBC Chief Commercial Officer Mylene J. Bico, who all joined the community in officially welcoming the season of joy and giving.

Bringing Back the Magic of Christmas with SM Home

     Remember when Christmas felt like pure magic? Here’s how to get that feeling back… Christmas has always been my favorite time of year. The festive music, the bright shining lights, the warmth, and family moments. But as life gets busier, it’s easy to forget that feeling of wonder we used to have as kids. I can still remember how my parents style our home with a little tree, flashy decors, and dancing lights. This year, I wanted to bring that magic back into our home and build a Christmas tradition that we can call our own. 

     That's why it's a pleasure attending SM Home 2025 Santa's Workshop at SM City Makati as it gave me an idea how to turn that "abra cadabra" magic to reality with the help of SM Home. This Christmas, SM Home brings back the warmth and wonder of timeless holiday traditions with its Festive Holiday Collection 2025. Scroll down and the bring the warmth of Christmas into your home with classic reds and greens or vibe you holiday aesthetics with modern style and practicality.
