'Tis the season to be merry! It's no secret that Filipinos have an inexplicable love for the holidays, and Kim Chiu is just like us who look forward to this season. In our interview, she revealed her favorite things about this time of year, and we're sure you will these three things relatable.
1. Holiday traditions
The moment we see twinkling parols (lanterns) hanging in homes and other establishments is that one defining indicator that Christmas is here. Kim shared that this is just one among the many Filipino Christmas traditions that get her excited.
"Setting up the Christmas tree is another favorite tradition of mine. There's a different kind of joy, like when you're finally getting into the holiday spirit, in planning what the Christmas tree will look like
If you're still on the hunt for parols, you can purchase from the world-class lantern-makers in Pampanga, dubbed as the country's Christmas capital, and have them via same-day truck delivery.
2. Pinoy Christmas food & noche buena
Indulging in bibingka and puto bumbong is just one of the things that Kim absolutely adores about Christmas. Honestly, are you even Filipino if you've never had these Paskong kakanin which often pop out the minute the clock strikes midnight and welcomes September -- the start of the Pinoy Christmas season?

But apart from these delicacies, Kim admits, "It's the noche buena spread that's much-awaited for me. We really prepare for this and make sure Christmas Eve is a memorable time with our family while getting our tummies filled with yummy food. With the family gathered around the table, there's nothing better than food than the ones shared with loved ones."
