Here's what to expect in Okada Manila this holiday season:

This year, Okada Manila is transforming into a Crystal Christmas Wonderland, where hues of silver, blue, and white take over. Think bright blue uplights wrapping the pillars, mimicking the giant columns of ice in the Antarctic, and wreaths and snowflakes in glittering silver and blue topping every display, giving the resort an icy winter wonderland feel.

Walk around the lobby and spot the towering, 34-foot Christmas tree adorned in elegant blue and white ornaments revolving amidst a glow of shimmering lights. 

Next, make your way to The Fountain, where the crowd-favorite dancing water and lights show will feature a new performance to the tune of the Disney classic "Let It Go."

Pro tip: If you spot any of the Okada Manila Entertainment Group dancers and performers, you might also want to stop and watch them perform their newest number, "Enchant."

But the heart of the Christmas display is the Okada Manila Christmas Village. Here, guests can watch nightly interactive light shows, take pictures at the winter wonderland displays, shop for stocking stuffers at the Christmas Market, and, for the kids, meet and greet jolly ol' St. Nick.
