Get inspired by Filipino tastemakers who bring whimsy, heritage, and personality to holiday decorating
ALL SPRUCED UP (From left) Sofia Zobel Elizalde's Filipino-New York tablescape;
It is no exaggeration to say that Filipinos are deeply invested in the Christmas season. As soon as September arrives, malls are decked with Yuletide decorations, Christmas jingles fill the air, and stalls selling holiday delicacies line the streets. For true holiday junkies, sprucing up their space this early has become a yearly tradition—an inviting way to weave creativity and heritage into everyday life. It is a joyful ritual that sets the mood for the season ahead.
To inspire Filipinos to make their living spaces more whimsical and personal this season, Rustan's gathered a group of creatives and tastemakers to curate holiday displays for the Rustan's Christmas Shop 2025, each presenting their unique perspectives and personal stories. If you're in the mood to refresh your home, let these inspired vignettes spark new ideas for your own festive space.
