Quezon City: Experiencing the North Pole Christmas in SM North EDSA

December is already here, and in the Philippines, most Filipinos are looking forward with this month to enjoy Christmas.  Recently, I got a chance to visit SM North EDSA's The North Pole experience and explore their displays placed in Sky Garden.  Their idea was to bring Santa in here to make our malling experience a different one.  Photoshoots are free, so grab your camera, and pull out your family and friends to visit SM North EDSA.  It was a fun moment to see a lot of kids and kids at heart taking photos around.  This is where I say, you don't need to spend a lot to make your kids and loved ones smile. :)

Kissing Santa


Kissing Santa is a huge display infront of SM City and you can spot and take pictures until January 10.  It was hard to take picture because I'm in the  right side but it's a good view when your vehicle pass by SM North EDSA.

Lego Display

Just to add up, I think the lego display in SM North EDSA The Block, is equally attractive.  There's a huge Christmas Tree made out of Lego and a lot more Lego display around.  Wish I have the creative mind to design beautiful lego structures like these. :)

Super love this! They feature Philippines here like the festival and landmarks you can see in our country.

My out-of-the-country dream destination- Great Wall of China. Sponsors anyone? Just kidding. :)

Visit and enjoy! Happy shopping too hehe. :)
