Edsa Shangri-La, Manila officially welcomed the yuletide season with
the annual Christmas tree lighting ceremony held at the hotel’s grand lobby. This
year’s tree displays candy-inspired holiday décor filled with pastel colors of
life-sized candies and sweet confections that remind guests of their inner
child and youthful Christmas memories. Leading the heartwarming event were Amit
Oberoi, Edsa Shangri-La, Manila’s general manager, together with special guest,
the honorable Menchie Abalos, mayor of Mandaluyong city.
Guests were mesmerized as they walked into an enchanted Candyland wonderland
adorned with candy clouds falling playfully from the ceiling, glittering lights
shimmering in a colorful spectacle, oversized candy canes inspiring joy and
laughter, and snow made of sugar falling onto the Candyland garden. The lobby
also displayed five festive stations in keeping with the Candyland theme, offering
homemade savories and sweet treats – the Choco Loco, Mallows n S’mores, Cookie Stop,
Hot Choco Love and Candy Can Can stations.
Guests feasted on such Candyland-inspired nibbles such as pear
lollipops with smoked duck, stilton and hazelnuts, candy cane beef cured salmon
on pumpernickel with micro cress, ham
and gingered pineapple in queso de bola, candied bacon waffles, snowman buns,
reindeer marshmallow pops and more.
The evening was a celebration of family, friends, fun and community.
. In attendance were hotel patrons, friends and partners, and in-house guests,
who were serenaded by the children of Kababaihang Kakaiba ng Mandaluyong Isla
De Cocomo, the beneficiary of Edsa Shangri-La, Manila’s Embrace program for the
past 20 years.
