The wonderful moment during Christmas season is when you get to experience events and things together with your family.  And as evident of that me and my family experience an amazing event at SM City Fairview as they unveil their theme for this Christmas season.  Last year was great with their Madagascar and now it's even greater together with the little yellow characters from one of the hit animated movie this year.  


For this year's theme of SM City Fairview is entitled 'A-maze-ing Despicable Christmas' starring with the yellow colored characters in the movie Despicable.  They are the minions and they're going to let experience the maze at the activity center of SM City Fairview.

Not only the minions were present during the unveiling but also the main characters of Despicable was there like Felonious Gru, Agnes, Edith and Margo, of course to welcome everyone as they drop the curtain and let the guests, visitors and passersby see what's in store for everyone this yuletide season.


Family of Gladys Reyes and Christopher Roxas were escorted right in the middle of the program after the unveiling.  It simply shows that this Amazing Despicable Christmas is for the whole family to enjoy.

Here are some of the things happened during the event.





Families can enjoy taking pictures and roam around or get lost in the A-maze-ing Despicable  Christmas this holiday season.

SM MOA brightens the holidays as they light up the Grand Christmas Tree.

Christmas is truly the happiest time of the year with lots of love, gift-giving and memorable moments with the family. The excitement grows as the Christmas countdown gets nearer and nearer to the big day.  We can feel it in the air, hear it in the Christmas carols, and see it in the lights and decorations popping up everywhere.




For the grandest and most magical Christmas experience in the metro, SM Mall of Asia has a lot in store for its shoppers and it began on November 11, 5pm as they lit up their Grand Christmas Tree in the Main Mall Atrium to kick off this year’s Christmas festivities. SM MOA VIPs together with special guests launched the majestic 50-foot tree decked in twinkling lights and amazing toys. Santa Claus also joined in the fun when he brought the toys to life with a little magic for everyone to see! The whole mall felt the warmth of Christmas as they were serenaded by the UP Singing Ambassadors and OPM legend KuhLedesma together with her equally talented daughter Isabella. SM MOA's Toy Wonderworld came to life when the Philippine All Stars, dressed as everyone's favorite toys, stole the spotlight for an exciting dance number that the whole family enjoyed!


Have fun and get a chance to meet and greet different well-loved toys and cartoon characters as they come alive every weekend until the New Year. It definitely is a Christmas Toy Wonderworld at the mall for the kids and kids-at-heart!



Party with the Monster High Crew on November 17; cuddle up to the Sylvanian Families the following weekend on November 24 to 25. The Power Rangers are all set for a merry morphing time on December 1 and 2. And everybody’s favorite orange cat Garfield and his doggie sidekick Odie will be at MOA to play on December 8 and 9.


Get awesome gift ideas at the Hasbro Grand Toy Fair from December 13 to 19. Families can also meet the legendary toys Mr. Potato Head and Play Doh Tubby on December 15 and 16. Then on the following weekends you can cuddle up with the dainty Lalaloopsy dolls from December 22 to 21, 29 to 30, and January 5 to 6.


Kids can find out from Santa Claus himself if they’ve been naughty or nice because SM Mall of Asia is giving everyone a chance to share all their Christmas wishes to the big huggable man in red! He’ll be waiting under the tree from 2pm to 5pm every weekend until Christmas Day.


Families will also be amazed with larger-than-life toys covered in bright twinkling lights during SM Mall of Asia’s 5th Grand Festival of Lights Parade happening every Saturday at 5:30pm from December 1 to 22 and on Christmas day itself.


To make Christmas even more meaningful, SM MOA and its mall-goers can celebrates the season of giving by sharing their blessings through SM Cares’ Bears of Joy project. For just P100, take home a cute and cuddly teddy bear because all proceeds will be donated to various orphanages and charitable institutions supported by this project.

Christmas is truly in the air now!  The breeze of the wind has started to feel cold and Christmas lights are now dancing in the night.

A few days ago SM city Fairview unveiled to the public their Christmas theme for this year.  I remember their theme last year it was a Castle and some known Christmas characters like the Nutcracker and some others.  For this year their Christmas theme is colorful and wild and imagine the size of their figures, it's the Madagascar characters and it's titled as "Madagascar Christmas Adventure".

Kids will sure love to visit this centerpiece and have a photo taken.  What more exciting about this centerpiece is that the Madagascar characters are actually moving.  Little it may seems but for the eyes of the kids it's delightful to see them moves.

Correspondent Justin was present during this event and was thrilled with the designs and decorations.  Present during the event was some important people in Quezon City, the top brass of the SM Supermalls, Michael V. or aka Bitoy, and the SM City Fairview management.


If you're near SM City Fairview or want to visit the mall, better bring along the kids because they will sure love to see this characters.  Perhaps after that you can complete your list of things to buy for the holidays.  The Madagascar display will run until January 6, 2013, just in time for the the Three Kings.
