The holiday festivities officially start at Four Points Palawan on November 28, 6 PM, with an enchanting Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony. The resortโ€™s Christmas Tree is a masterpiece of sustainable design: A towering tree crafted from Bayog bamboo, one of the Philippines’ most resilient and versatile native materials. Standing tall and vibrant in the hotel’s grand lobby, the tree showcases the perfect fusion of holiday tradition and environmental consciousness.

“This year’s Christmas tree is more than just a holiday decorationโ€“it’s a reflection of our commitment to sustainability and our beautiful home here in Palawan,” explained Dietmar Platz, General Manager of Four Points Palawan. “We’ve complemented the bamboo structure with locally sourced, organic materials including handwoven light shades, intricate rattan mats, and beautifully crafted rattan fans, all celebrating the exceptional artistry of Filipino craftsmanship.”

The lighting ceremony will feature performances by local children’s choirs, traditional Filipino Christmas carols, and a special appearance by Santa Claus. Guests can enjoy complimentary traditional Filipino Christmas delicacies and warm beverages while witnessing the inaugural illumination of this unique sustainable masterpiece.

Holiday gastronomy

The culinary highlight of the season is the extravagant Noche Buena Feast on Christmas Eve, where guests can indulge in a sumptuous spread featuring traditional favorites like succulent lechon, fresh seafood, and beloved Filipino Christmas delicacies including puto bumbong and bibingka, all accompanied by the soulful sounds of an acoustic trio. At Php 3,500 net per person, families can create lasting memories with children under seven years old dining for free, and those aged 7-12 enjoying half-price privileges.

The public is welcome to drop by the resort on Christmas Day for a casual BBQ lunch featuring gourmet burgers and kebabs, followed by an elegant dinner buffet priced at Php 2,250 net per person, where an acoustic duo sets the perfect holiday ambiance.
