SM Marikina launches Santa’s Christmas Park
With its magnificent Christmas centerpiece, “Santa’s Christmas Park,” which consists of a towering 35-foot Christmas tree surrounded by park-themed decorations, SM City Marikina has formally kicked off the holiday season and instantly transformed the atrium of the mall into a Christmas paradise.
The inaugural event was all about celebrating Christmas cheer, with outstanding performances from the Glee Club and ADHIKA dance company from St. Scholastica’s Academy Marikina with a great Christmas musical by the gifted Madison actors.
The highlight of the program was the ceremonial lighting of the Christmas centerpiece, graced by the presence of celebrity family Sofia Andres, Daniel Miranda, and their adorable daughter Zoe Miranda. Joining them were Marikina City Vice Mayor Marion Andres, Councilors Cloyd Casimiro and Kate De Guzman. They are also joined by SM Supermalls’ executives, Timothy Jonas Cuenca, Senior AVP for Marketing, and Kathrina Joven, Regional Leasing Manager and Don Edward Vijandre, Regional Operations Manager.
An additional element of magic was added when Santa Claus himself appeared out of the fog as the lights grew brighter. The children lit up with enthusiasm as he waved to the crowd while wearing his traditional red coat and white beard. Everyone was able to explore and take pictures with loved ones in the park-inspired arrangement, which featured Santa’s sleigh and Christmas decorations.
The occasion promoted the SM Bears of Joy campaign in keeping with the giving spirit of the holidays. Customers can buy a pair of cute bears for P280, keeping one for themselves and giving the other to a charity of their choice to help people in need.
With Santa’s Christmas Park fully operational, SM City Marikina is now ready to be the ultimate holiday destination. Families and friends may make great memories here this Christmas season, whether they’re shopping or attending holiday festivities!
