Holiday Home Ready with IKEA's Dinner and Kitchenware Christmas Collection

     Christmas in the Philippines shows the true heart of the Filipino and their deep love for family. Whether it’s a humble home in the province where relatives drop by with trays of bibingka and puto bumbong, or a condo in the city where baked goods are exchanged, one thing remains constant: the home is where the most meaningful celebrations happen.

     IKEA understands that the holiday season is all about feasts, cooking, sharing, and eating with loved ones, so it’s putting Filipino kitchens and dining areas in the spotlight during the Flavors of Home Festival at the IKEA Store in Pasay City.

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.
