Greenfield Development Corporation (GDC) recently lit up its iconic Christmas tree with holiday cheer during its 9th annual “Christmas for Generations” celebration. Held at the Greenfield District Central Park on November 15, the event drew families and friends together to rekindle the joy of early Christmas traditions while offering a welcoming space for shared moments of connection and holiday magic.
The holiday spirit is in the air at Greenfield District as its giant Christmas tree fills the central park with vibrance and enthusiasm as it ushers in the festivities of the Christmas season.
“Christmas for Generations” opened with the much-anticipated lighting of Greenfield District’s iconic 60-feet tall Christmas tree, a centerpiece of holiday celebrations since 2014 at the Central Park, which has become a hallmark of community-building in Mandaluyong City. Adorned with angel-themed ornaments symbolizing peace and hope, the tree brightened up the park, creating a festive backdrop that encapsulated the yuletide spirit in the district.
Greenfield District employees led the tree lighting ceremony, transforming the Greenfield District Central Park into a Christmas wonderland.
“Christmas for Generations is a tradition we are proud to uphold. This event is our way of bringing families and communities together in a meaningful and memorable way, while also providing a space to reflect on the joy and togetherness that the holidays represent,” said Atty. Duane A.X. Santos, Executive Vice President and General Manager of GDC.
The program continued with a dazzling fireworks display, illuminating the night sky to the delight of the crowd. Guests also enjoyed the chance to meet and greet Santa Claus, a favorite highlight for children and the young at heart.

The celebration was filled with live music, including a performance by a talented chorale that serenaded attendees with classic Christmas carols. The harmonious melodies were tinged with a nostalgic touch, reminding guests of simpler, more traditional holiday seasons.
The chorale heightened up the yuletide cheer of an already merry evening as it serenaded the guests with beloved Christmas melodies.
Adding to the festive atmosphere, the Greenfield District Central Park was lined with its usual wide array of merchants offering everything from artisanal food and drinks to vintage treasures, handmade art, books, and even tarot readings. This diverse selection of goods ensured that guests could enjoy a unique and vibrant holiday market experience.
Adding a layer of surprise and joy to an already memorable evening, GDC also featured a raffle draw that brought an extra dose of excitement to the guests. A total of 40 attendees won gift certificates and umbrellas, while five lucky guests took home major prizes.
“This park has always been a place where people come to relax, connect, and create memories,” noted Atty. Santos. “Hosting ‘Christmas for Generations’ here allows us to celebrate not just the holidays, but the sense of community and wellness that Greenfield District is all about. We hope this event reminds everyone of the beauty of shared experiences, the importance of traditions, and the joy of creating moments with the people who matter most. This is what Greenfield District stands for—bringing people together and making every gathering meaningful.”
