Starting this November 14, One Ayala transforms into a whimsical Christmas spectacle inspired by the beloved holiday classic, The Nutcracker, inviting everyone to celebrate through a dazzling display of lights, music, and festive performances.
A Magical Celebration at the Heart of Makati
Set at Level 2 of One Ayala, this year’s Christmas launch brings The Nutcracker story to life through larger-than-life installations, glowing red and gold decor, and charming toy figures straight from a Christmas fairytale.
The highlight of the evening is the Tree Lighting Ceremony, a one-of-a-kind “wind-up” moment where One Ayala executives will twist a golden key to illuminate the grand Christmas tree. The event features an enchanting dance performance by the Hiraya Dance Company, transforming the stage into a living storybook with graceful toy soldiers and ballerinas.
Unwrap the Wonder of the Season
Beyond the lights and decor, this year’s theme, “Tales of the Season: Inside The Nutcracker,” invites guests to relive the childlike joy of Christmas through storytelling and imagination. Shoppers and families can enjoy the festive installations, take photos beside the life-sized toy displays, and revel in the joyful atmosphere in Makati’s newest Christmas destination.
The launch also marks the beginning of a series of holiday activities and experiences at One Ayala, bringing together the best of retail, dining, and celebration in one vibrant space designed for celebration and connection. Guests can look forward to:
- A Christmas Spectacle — On November 14 & 29 and December 6, 13, & 20, shoppers and guests can witness the 3D Christmas Lights Show, inspired by the Nutcracker.
