christmas tree – Jellybeans in the City

In a vibrant celebration embracing Filipino customs, The Manila Hotel kicked off the holiday season with its enchanting Tree Lighting Ceremony on November 9. The centerpiece of the evening was the resplendent Christmas Tree, adorned meticulously with golden Ilang-Ilang blooms, paying homage to the Grand Dame’s official flower. The blend of gold, natural tones, and vibrant reds created a visually stunning display echoing the true essence of the season. This spectacular holiday décor was brought to life by the creative genius of Mr. Rachy Cuna, The Manila Hotel’s Creative & Design Director.

Distinguished Guests and Joyous Melodies

The ceremony welcomed esteemed personalities, including The Manila Hotel Chairman Basilio Yap, Vice Chairman Dr. Emilio Yap III, President Atty. Joey Lina, Chief Justice Diosdado Peralta, City of Manila Mayor Maria Sheilah “Honey” Lacuna Pangan, and other honored guests. Adding to the festive spirit, the Office of the President Chorale serenaded the audience with traditional Christmas carols.

Sharing the Season’s Spirit

Embodying the holiday spirit of giving and sharing, The Manila Hotel embraced the House of Refuge as the beneficiary of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives. The House of Refuge serves as a halfway house, offering shelter and meeting the basic needs of street children.

The Essence of Tradition

Marvin Kim Tan, The Manila Hotel Director of Sales and Marketing, expressed, “As we aspire to be a part of every family’s Christmas celebration, may our lit Christmas tree serve as a reflection of the hotel’s commitment to embodying the spirit of Filipino traditions this holiday season.”

Continuing the Festive Glow

With the Christmas Tree now radiantly glowing in the Grand Lobby, The Manila Hotel remains dedicated to spreading holiday cheer and upholding the spirit of Filipino traditions throughout the festive season.

How To Clean Your Artificial Christmas Tree Before Decorating

First, carefully remove your tree from its box or storage bag. Then, start wiping the tree with a soft, dry cloth or a fiber duster starting from the top, from its branches, trunk, then down to its base.
You can also use a vacuum with a bristle brush used for upholstery or a hand vacuum. Make sure to test a section at the base of the tree first to see if the vacuum can safely clean the dirt off the branches and not damage the tree.
For pre-lit Christmas trees, clean its branches with a vacuum before wiping each lightbulb with soft, dry cloth carefully.

How To Clean Your Artificial Christmas Tree Before Storage

Same with a regular Christmas tree, follow the general care tips on how to clean it as mentioned above.
After cleaning, wrap your tree in clean white paper before storing, then place it inside its storage container.

How To Care For And Clean Frosted Christmas Trees

Frosted Christmas trees require a different kind of care compared to a traditional Christmas tree as there’s no need to dust your frosted tree, since this could very well damage its flocking material which makes it look frosted with snow.

First, set up your tree in a cool, dry place and away from humidity and direct heat.
Since frosted trees tend to shed, avoid making unnecessary contact against the branches and tips to prevent excess shedding.
Gently compress the branches of your tree, then place it in a secure storage bag to keep the flocking material intact and lessen contact from anything that may cause it to shed.
