It has been a while since I last witnessed the Christmas lighting event at SM City Davao. I have a short story to share. I have been working at SM City Davao for the past 7 years, specifically as a member of the pioneering team at SM Affiliates—Health and Beauty. Watsons bought Health & Beauty during that time, but it is still a part of the SM affiliates. I was assigned to Branch 75, which is located at Watsons Mall. During my time there, the Christmas lighting ceremony always took place right in front of my store — The Atrium. Wherein we can catch a glimpse of the events and activities that SM City offers to their customers.

The most recent and last Christmas event I attended was the collaboration between Disney and SM City Davao. It was a magical Disney Christmas experience featuring Olaf's Frozen Adventure. The event took place at the SM City Davao Annex Event Center in 2017.

The main attraction of the mall, an Arendelle Castle-inspired winter wonderland, is open to shoppers. This enchanting display features a magnificent 15-foot Christmas tree. With Olaf and his friends as they relive the sights and sounds from the beloved animated film Frozen. Olaf fans can also look forward to a Disney Frozen Toy Fair at the Annex Event Center.

My two daughters had a great time during that period, particularly when they were skating. They really enjoyed it!

Can you believe it? After a whopping six years, I have just received the most enchanting invitation to attend none other than Santa's Starship! I simply cannot contain my excitement! This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that I am beyond grateful for. The anticipation is building, and I can already feel the holiday magic swirling in the air. I couldn't contain my excitement as I made the decision to embark on yet another enchanting journey to witness a mesmerizing Christmas lighting event. This time, my heart was set on none other than the beloved SM City Davao, a place that holds a special significance in my professional life.

Arriving at my destination very early, I couldn't help but immerse myself in the picturesque surroundings. As I patiently awaited my adventure to unfold, I seized the opportunity to capture the stunning facade of the place through my mobile lens. I must admit that the exquisite decorations adorning the space completely blew me away. The simplicity of the design was truly captivating, but when the soft glow emanated from the Christmas tree, it transformed into a spectacle of pure glamour.
