This joy–which Rustan’s aims to share not only with shoppers but with every father, mother, adult, and child–is encapsulated and remembered through the sparkle of lights and evergreen trees. It is symbolized by the festive tunes and solemn hymns, as well as the decorations like tinsels, bells, nutcrackers, and snowglobes, along with the reds, greens, and various ornaments. The cheer of the season points to the magnificent hope brought by the humble birth of Jesus Christ.

This year’s “Light up this Christmas with Rustan’s” campaign took center stage, heralding a post-pandemic rebirth and a celebration of the season’s joy and magic. The windows of Rustan’s came alive with a dazzling spectacle of larger-than-life lights, inspired by the radiant parols of the Philippines, enveloping visitors in a splendid abundance of merriment.
