Guests gathered in high spirits to witness the lighting of the hotel’s emerald-themed Christmas tree, a dazzling centerpiece that bathed the hotel’s decor in a warm, radiant glow. General Manager Gagan Talwar shared his excitement about celebrating the holidays in the Philippines: “Experiencing the holiday season here is truly inspiring. The joy and enthusiasm with which Filipinos embrace Christmas is remarkable. We are excited to welcome our guests and friends to experience the warmth, the festive spirit, and the thoughtfully curated delights we have prepared this year at Hilton Manila Newport World Resorts.”

Guided by this year’s Sinagtala theme, which translates to “radiant star”, the evening celebrated Filipino traditions and togetherness. Symbolizing the bright northern star, Sinagtala positions Hilton Manila Newport World Resorts as a home for the holidays, where guests can gather, savor festive feasts, and share in the magic of the season. Guests were serenaded by a saxophonist whose melodies echoed the sophisticated New Yorker vibe of Madison Lounge & Bar, where the cocktail reception was held. 

Following the tree lighting, guests were welcomed to Kusina Sea Kitchens for a preview of the hotel’s festive offerings. Executive Chef Lord Carlo Bayaban presented a generous spread featuring Rosemary-Roasted Prime Ribs, Honey-Cured Ham, and Roasted Tom Turkey complemented by an impressive dessert selection. The dinner that evening was a special preview run of the hotel’s Christmas Eve and Christmas Day Buffet spread at PHP 3,500 nett per person, giving guests an early taste of the warmth, abundance, and celebratory spirit that await on December 24 and 25.

The evening at Hilton Manila Newport World Resorts was a seamless blend of elegance and tradition, inviting guests to rediscover the magic of the season in a space that feels both refined and welcoming. With Sinagtala as its guiding theme, the hotel reaffirms its place as a home for the holidays, where gatherings are cherished and memories are made.
