The calendar has flipped to September—and in the Philippines, that can only mean one thing: the Christmas season has officially begun. The -ber months bring a special kind of excitement, as Filipinos start planning cozy celebrations, twinkling décor, and gifts for everyone on their lists.
Embracing this beloved tradition, IKEA Philippines has flung open the doors to its much-awaited Christmas Shop, now open at IKEA Pasay City and online at IKEA.ph. The launch event set the tone for a season of merriment, with the Manila Philharmonic Orchestra under Maestro Rodel Colmenar performing timeless carols alongside celebrated singer Gian Magdangal.
But the real holiday magic is in the details—and the deals. IKEA has permanently lowered prices on 400 essentials and filled its Christmas Shop with two standout collections that capture the warmth and wonder of the season: the whimsical VINTERFINT range and the glowing STRÅLA lights series.
“We designed our IKEA Christmas Shop to bring together festive design, affordability, and sustainability,” shared Ricardo Pinheiro, Country Retail Manager of IKEA Philippines. “Every piece is joyful for the home while also kinder to the planet.”
Among the VINTERFINT delights are jolly Santa figurines made from 100% recycled polyester (from just ₱129), wreaths and hanging bouquets starting at ₱49, and elegant artificial Christmas trees in various sizes—perfect for mixing and matching. The collection’s 179 pieces reimagine classic Swedish holiday traditions with a playful, modern flair: glass and candy-shaped ornaments, birch veneer reindeer, paper tabletop trees, and all the cookie cutters, molds, and cheerful tableware you need to create memorable family feasts.
The STRÅLA line, meanwhile, lives up to its name—which means “to shine” in Swedish—offering around 40 glowing pieces to light up the holidays. Think Scandinavian star lamps, fairy lights, snow globe-inspired lamps, and battery-powered candelabras, all using energy-efficient LEDs. “In Sweden, it’s tradition to place stars in our windows at Christmastime,” Pinheiro said. “With STRÅLA, everyone can bring that same magic home.”
Beyond the sparkle, IKEA makes gifting a breeze with a full range of wrapping papers, patterned gift bags, and advent-ready packaging—all designed to make every present special.
Best of all, these holiday treasures are built to last beyond just one season. “We’ve made them easy to clean, easy to store, and ready to spark joy for many Christmases to come,” Pinheiro added.
Whether you’re decking the halls early or slowly easing into the season, IKEA’s Christmas Shop has everything to transform your space into a warm, festive haven. Explore the VINTERFINT and STRÅLA collections at IKEA Mall of Asia or online at IKEA.ph—and let the holiday magic begin.
