At the foot of the Christmas tree, there is an igloo where visitors can take photos inside the reflective room filled with lights.
Singer and actor James Reid led the unveiling of the giant Christmas tree in BGC, alongside Taguig City Mayor Lani Cayetano and Alfie Reyes, COO of Fort Bonifacio Development Corporation.

"It was wonderful to see Taguigueños come together to celebrate and get a sneak peek of what's in store for the upcoming New Year's Eve festivities. Let's spread love and joy this season," Cayetano posted on her social media page.
There are also "Magic at the 5th" integrated displays on 5th Avenue that will add sparkle to the holiday season.
