It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas everywhere we go~

Last Saturday (October 23, 2022), SM Aura Premier officially marked the beginning of their Christmas festivities with golden ornaments, a huge sparkling Christmas tree, an immersive tunnel display, and even a lights show overlooking the city of BGC. Manila Millennial was honored to be invited to witness the opening ceremony, so here’s a sneak peek at everything you should check out on your next visit at the mall:

Meet & Greet with Santa and A Chorale Performance

The golden Christmas tree centerpiece will play host to a Santa Meet & Greet and a chorale performance by the Everest Chorale, the children’s choir from Everest Academy who return to spread holiday cheer at SM Aura Premier on select days of December. Catch the Everest Singers on December 10 and 17 and Santa Claus on December 24 and 25.

Immersive Golden Gateway by TECNO Mobile

Tucked behind the giant Christmas tree is a golden gemstone-shaped immersive experience. In partnership with global smartphone brand TECNO Mobile, technology and art meet to transport all who enter this enclosure into scenes of an opulent holiday palace and fantastical golden worlds. Simply present PHP 1,000 in single or collected receipts and enter a whole new world filled with glitz and glamour.

Nights of Dazzling Lights

The theatrical room isn’t the only technological experience the mall has. Equally spectacular is a choreographed light and sound display at SM Aura Premier’s Skypark at Level 5. Visitors of the Skypark enter a space with tall tree-like sculptures made of strings of lights. As they go through a forest of lights, a jaw-dropping musical show awaits. Visitors can stop and enjoy the choreographed audio and visual performance every 7pm on all Sunday nights of December, including December 25^th itself.

Wasn’t able to take a photo of this but we’ll definitely be back soon!

When you visit the mall, don’t forget to take a photo together with SM Aura Premier’s golden Christmas tree that reaches the second floor! There are also golden ornaments that would look good with your #OOTD — especially when you’re wearing shades of yellow, white, and green. Bring the family with you, too! It’s a perfect family photo backdrop in time for holiday greetings that you’ll post on social media.

Holiday Pop-Up Markets and Giveaways

Holiday features and activities aren’t the only offerings to bring marvelous cheer. There are Holiday pop-up markets, exciting giveaways and amazing deals and discounts from participating stores around the mall soon! This can even be enjoyed online through SM Supermalls’ new shopping app, SM Malls Online. Available for download both on Google Play and Apple App Store.

Enjoy your holiday shopping! Merry Christmas!
