Unplug and Play: LEGO Revives the Classic Filipino Christmas at MOA

Do you remember Christmas before screens took over? Back when the season meant noisy houses, long days of decorating with family, the smell of Noche Buena filling the air, and colorful parols lighting up every window. Filipino Christmases were warm, lively, and bursting with tradition. Kids ran around, titos and titas shared stories over food, and the most exciting part for many children was unwrapping that one special toy—often a LEGO set that guaranteed hours of creativity and imagination.

Today, the holidays feel a little quieter. Kids stay glued to tablets, grown-ups sneak glances at notifications, and moments that should be spent together are interrupted by screens. This year, the LEGO Group invites families to pause, unplug, and rediscover the joyful chaos of Christmas.

From December 22 to January 6, the LEGO Christmas Play Village will turn the SM Mall of Asia Main Atrium into a magical, screen-free playground. It’s a space designed to bring back the kind of Christmas many Filipinos grew up with—warm, noisy, creative, and full of shared memories.

A Holiday Village Built for Imagination

Stepping into the Play Village feels like walking into an oversized Filipino Christmas home. Every corner encourages discovery, play, and connection. Families can explore different rooms—from the cozy porch to the lively attic—each filled with activities where everyone can build, create, and have fun together.

Simple joys like stacking LEGO towers or completing playful challenges spark genuine smiles and a sense of pride. Parents get a chance to slow down, be present, and enjoy messy moments with their little ones. And for those who grew up in the 90s and 00s, LEGO sets remain a nostalgic reminder of the magic of childhood Christmases.

The fun doesn’t have to end at the event. The LEGO Group handpicked a variety of sets perfect for kids, teens, and even adults who want to reignite their creativity at home.

Visitors can also enjoy:

• Free LEGO Christmas Chimney Fun with a minimum ₱3,000 single-receipt purchase
