Christmas in the Philippines is a season of celebrations, traditions, and togetherness. Among the many beloved customs, caroling holds a special place in Filipino hearts. For decades, groups of friends, families, and even children have wandered from house to house, filling the streets with the cheerful sounds of Christmas classics. It’s a tradition that sparks a sense of community, especially in today’s fast-paced world, where such customs are starting to fade. Caroling, however, remains a cherished part of Filipino Christmas celebrations — an opportunity to share the spirit of the season and spread goodwill through song.
IKEA Pasay City is bringing a Swedish touch to this festive tradition with a creative twist. From December 16 to 20, the home of affordable, sustainable design invites customers to join its Carolling Week — a weeklong celebration that brings the warmth and joy of Filipino Christmas carols to its showroom floors. Here’s everything you need to know about this holiday event.
Step into the Holiday Spirit: A Carolling Experience
The caroling festivities will take place daily from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM, offering customers the opportunity to step into IKEA’s thoughtfully designed room sets and sing their favorite Christmas carols. Whether participating solo or as part of a group, all are invited to take part in this celebration.
What sets this event apart is the chance for attendees to craft their own instruments, seamlessly blending the timeless tradition of caroling with IKEA’s commitment to sustainable living. This event is not simply about singing — it’s a chance to create lasting memories, reconnect with cherished traditions, and celebrate the season in an environmentally conscious way.
Surprises and Holiday Cheer Await
In the spirit of the season, participants will also have a chance to win exciting prizes. After performing one or two Christmas carols, you’ll be entered into a lucky draw to win IKEA gift cards worth up to PHP 5,000. With such festive incentives, the caroling week promises to be an event filled with holiday cheer. While you’re there, be sure to check out IKEA’s holiday offerings and take inspiration for your own home’s seasonal décor.
Elevate Your Holiday Sound
In the spirit of holiday gifting, consider adding a speaker to elevate your Christmas caroling experience. The VAPPEBY Bluetooth Speaker and VAPPEBY Portable Bluetooth Speaker deliver rich sound, ensuring your festive celebrations are filled with holiday spirit — think belting out classic OPM Christmas songs with clarity and warmth.
For a perfect blend of ambiance and music, the VAPPEBY Bluetooth Speaker Lamp seamlessly integrates light and sound, transforming any room into the ideal space for holiday gatherings. For those looking to elevate their seasonal experience, the SYMFONISK Sonos Speaker Lamp Base offers premium sound paired with sophisticated design, making it the ideal gift for music aficionados and those who appreciate high-performance audio.
