Paws-itively Festive: SM City Taytay's Tree Lighting is a Woof-derful Time

Get ready to jingle all the way, because SM City Taytay just kicked off the Christmas season with a paw-some tree lighting ceremony! It was a truly woof-derful and furr-tastic afternoon filled with furry friends, festive cheer, and enough holiday magic to melt even the grumpiest Grinch's heart.

The Concourse Singers warmed up the crowd with some classic Christmas carols, and the children's contagious laughter filled the air with pure joy. You could feel the excitement building as everyone got ready to witness the magnificent Christmas centerpiece.
