Both bazaars will run from 11 AM to 9 PM.
Shopping Smart During Christmas 2025:
- Make a gift list: Write family names, price limits, and how many gifts each needs. Helps you avoid impulse buys.
- Divide and conquer: Pair up with a friend or partner—while one watches the kids in the food area, the other shops.
- Set a “kid break”: Make sure the kids have a short snack-play stop so they don’t get cranky as you browse.
- Plan parking or transport: Malls and convention centres fill fast in the “ber” months. Consider public transport if convenient.
- Think ahead: If you find something perfect early, buy it. The best items vanish fast once everyone’s shopping.
Enjoy Christmas Shopping Without the Pressure
For busy parents, Christmas shopping doesn’t need to add pressure—it can become a memory: the kids grabbing candy while you browse, discovering a gift that lights their face, and wrapping it up before the rush. These bazaars are more than market stops—they’re part of your family’s holiday story.
Happy bazaar-hopping—and may every gift you find bring joy, not just on Christmas, but in the many moments of giving and loving that follow.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
From World Trade Center’s Noel Bazaar to Estancia’s Holiday Market and Filinvest Tent’s Christmas Village, you’ll find bazaars sprinkled all over the city. Each offers its own festive mix—local artisans, gourmet finds, handmade gifts, and decor that can make even Scrooge grin.
Depends on the theme. But most of them have everything. Think locally crafted toys, eco-conscious gifts, artisanal candles, matching family outfits, home décor, and Christmas treats that’ll test your self-control. These bazaars are perfect for checking off everyone on your list—from your in-laws to your toddler’s ninang.
Most of them are, especially the ones that are inside the mall. However, if the Christmas bazaar is al fresco, try to have some small breaks in between. That way, the kids can rest and we can check our checklist to prevent doubling the gifts!
Plan ahead! Bring your own eco-bag, wear comfy shoes, and set a budget (yes, even for “just one more cute mug”). Some bazaars offer digital payment options, so you can skip the long ATM lines. And if you can, go early—the best finds disappear faster than fruitcake at a family party.
Because every peso spent supports Filipino entrepreneurs, crafters, and small family businesses. It’s more than shopping—it’s investing in creativity, community, and Christmas spirit. Plus, local goods often come with that special touch no mall item can match.
