The Timeless Magic of Christmas: EK Presents Five Enchanted Presents to Commemorate the Season



The Philippines' first and only top-tier theme park, Enchanted Kingdom, offers five (5) brand-new, classic Christmas experiences in Santa Rosa, Laguna, making for the most enchanting holiday celebration.

Every Filipino can now experience the Timeless Magic of Christmas with the Park's festive music, colorful decorations, and lively displays, which were all unveiled during EK's grand holiday kickoff last November 23. This is in addition to the more than 30 unlimited rides and gated attractions.


ENCHANTING PERFORMANCES

With top-notch music and entertainment, the event's incredible lineup of performers spreads the classic holiday magic.

Using their strings and percussion, award-winning De La Salle Santiago Zobel (DLSZ) Rondalla enchanted the audience with a Christmas medley and captivating symphonic music.

Members of the formidable dance company G-Force teased the audience with their amazing dance moves as they returned to the EK stage to spread some Yuletide cheer. Additionally, they advertised their year-end dance concert, which is scheduled for December 15 at the theme park.

The Kingsmen, Victoria's Way, and SMS, EK's in-house vocal groups, further heightened the festive atmosphere with their captivating performances of traditional holiday tunes.


THE MAGIC OF GIVING

Santa Rosa Mayor Hon. graced the enchanted celebration. The city's Christmas season wouldn't be complete without the grand lighting ceremony of the Park's Enchanted Christmas Tree and Grand Parol, according to Arlene B. Arcillas.

The Timeless Halo-ween: An Event for a Cause event raised for the benefit of Typhoon Kristine victims was officially turned over to the Santa Rosa city government by Hon. Cynthia R. Mamon, Chief Operating Officer of EK. Arcillas.

Hon. Through their projects and offerings, EK has helped spread the "very essence of Christmas" — the spirit of giving. For this, Arcillas is grateful.


ELDAR’S MOONLIGHT PARADE

In anticipation of the simultaneous opening of EK's holiday attractions, starting with the Eldar's Moonlight Parade, park visitors gathered along the streets of Portabello and Brooklyn Place. Suddenly, there they were, with their colorful, glow-in-the-dark costumes, EK's cheerful wizard and other well-known characters from stories. As they danced through the themed areas to the upbeat, well-known EK tunes, the Park's nightlife came to life.


ELDAR’S BROOKLYN SYMPHONY

Eldar the Wizard waved his magical wand to begin the Brooklyn Symphony as the parade procession made its way to EK's 4D-simulated theater Rialto at the Brooklyn Place zone. Suddenly, the zone's Christmas lights came to life and began dancing to the tunes of well-known Christmas tunes that were playing everywhere.

As part of the holiday atmosphere, the audience also cheered when they saw "snow" fall from the sky near the end of the performance. 


ENCHANTED CHRISTMAS TREE

Serving as the highlight of EK’s magical holiday attractions this 2024 is their one-of-a-kind Enchanted Christmas Tree in partnership with Firefly. It is located between the Brooklyn Place and Midway Boardwalk’s Wheel of Fate.

With Dr. Mamon and Hon. Arcillas leading the lighting ceremony, purple lights soon covered the whole tree, unveiling its unique design.

This year, the theme park transformed the Enchanted Christmas Tree into Eldar’s iconic wizard hat. Serving as the ornaments are star-shaped lanterns, each bearing the portrait of the EK storybook characters; while on top is an image of the nativity scene, reminding every guest of the true essence of the Christmas season.


GRAND PAROL

Through its Grand Parol, which is even more brilliant at the Spaceport Grounds next to the Space Shuttle rollercoaster ride and where visitors can take in its vibrant display timed to well-known Filipino Christmas tunes, EK embraced Paskong Pinoy and revived the centerpiece of Filipino holiday celebrations.

Together with 100 other lanterns placed throughout the park, the Santa Rosa-based theme park commissioned Eric Bondoc Quiwa, a well-known lantern maker from Pampanga, to create this record-breaking décor.


ENCHANTMENT CONTINUES UP IN THE SKY

Eldar the Wizard masterminds a spectacular show once more of the brand-new Timeless Magic Fireworks illuminate the sky display. This includes EK's 29th anniversary special holiday edition. Timeless Magic, the anniversary theme song, was written and sung by the P-pop girl group SMS from the theme park.


MORE TIMELESS CHRISTMAS MAGIC

‘Tis the season to celebrate with the whole family here at EK!

Visitors can now take in the breathtaking views of the Grand Parol, the Enchanted Christmas Tree, and the Eldar's Brooklyn Symphony all the time. On Saturdays at 7 PM, they can also watch the Timeless Magic Fireworks Show.

Eldar the Wizard will begin incorporating a Yuletide element into his Moonlight Parade this December with the Christmastime Parade.

Beginning at the end of November, bands and musical ensembles will also spread the enchanted spirit of the holidays by performing captivating live carols by the Grand Parol. The music of DLSZ Rondalla will return on November 30 and December 7. On December 16 and 21, respectively, the Emilio Aguinaldo Symphonic Band and Ateneo Gabay will also be present to participate in the celebrations.

You won't want to miss the upcoming anniversary promo that EK also hinted at and is scheduled to be released this final week of November!

With our upcoming holiday EKatalogue, which will include the newest items that can be purchased in-person or online through the EK Online Store, you can give the magic of Enchanted Kingdom as a gift.

We are open six days a week (Tuesday through Sunday) from December 2 to December 15, so begin organizing your next EK vacation and make more treasured memories with your loved ones. The Park's enchanted gates will be open to everyone every day from December 16 until the first week of 2025.
