An endless slew of fun activities, thoughtful gift ideas, and irresistible shopping deals await shoppers at Central Square this season. Beginning in November, Central Square’s holiday offerings bring joy for kids and adults alike.

Inspired by the “Traditions of Christmas,” the programmes are designed to make the most of the holidays. Gift giving is a central practice during this season, and as such a series of workshops are in store every Saturday of December from 2:30 to 4:00 PM. On December 2, kids can learn how to put their personal touch on presents at the giftwrapping workshop. On December 9, cookie monsters can indulge in sweet treats at the cookie-decorating workshop. On December 16, kids can learn how to deck the halls and decorate their Christmas trees with their own Christmas socks.

Weekend holiday parades are also in place from 4:30 to 5:00 PM, featuring Hamley’s well-loved characters. Kids can also spend some time with Santa Claus every Saturday and Sunday, 5:00 to 7:00 PM. At 7:30, beautiful music will fill the air as group chorales serenade visitors with Christmas carols.

While the kids have the time of their lives participating in activities, the adults can also have their fair share of fun while shopping. SSI, Mastercard, and Singapore Airlines are offering a special deal for shoppers with the promos “Swipe to Travel” and “Swipe to Shop.”

With “Swipe to Travel,” three lucky winners will get SSI Purple gift cards worth PHP 200,000, a flight to London, Paris, or Singapore while enjoying the ultimate luxe experience in business class via Singapore Airlines, luxury accommodations for two, and a private and curated tour of the destination, a professional makeover, and photo shoots around the scenic sites, among others.
