You know Christmas is getting closer when October rolls around, the streets begin to sparkle with festive lights, and familiar Christmas songs start playing on repeat. Before the holiday shopping rush kicks in, why not start ticking off your gift list at Noel Bazaar? Here’s your guide to what awaits at Noel Bazaar 2026! 

Organized by Cut Unlimited, Inc., Noel Bazaar has been bringing Filipinos together for holiday shopping and a good cause since 2000. As the country’s pioneering exhibition-style benefit bazaar, it has grown into the Metro’s Ultimate Christmas Shopping Destination, and became a celebrated holiday tradition for Filipino families for over two decades. 

Beyond shopping, Noel Bazaar carries a deeper purpose through its longstanding partnerships with GMA Kapuso Foundation and the Inquirer Foundation. Through its initiatives, Noel Bazaar has helped provide safer, and more conducive learning spaces for students in Northern  Cebu affected by the Typhoon Tino last year through the Kapuso schools and classrooms. It is a meaningful reminder that the spirit of giving goes beyond the Christmas season. 

This year’s theme takes us back to the nostalgia of “Rediscovering the Magic of Paskong Pinoy,”  bringing the magic of the past Christmases we grew up with. Across two venues expect curated brands to discover, live performances, hands-on workshops, and seasonal experiences to enjoy with family and friends while also getting a head start on your holiday shopping. 

World Trade Center Metro Manila, Pasay City

November 25 to 30, 2026 | 11:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.

The Filinvest Tent, Alabang, Muntinlupa City

December 17 to 20, 2026 | 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.

Across its two runs, the 10-day bazaar will bring together over 600 merchants, offering a delightful mix of Filipino Christmas delights, from beloved Christmas treats, snacks and refreshments to apparel, home décor, toys, and distinctive holiday finds that aren’t available in department stores. Adding star power to the festivities are this year’s GMA Celebrity Ambassadors: Infinite Star, Rhian Ramos, Dennis Trillo, Jennylyn Mercado, and Anton Vinzon.

The stage will also come alive with cooking demonstrations by Chef Emily Peralta and Chef Jose Sarasola, fashion shows by Pilipinas Pet Fashion Show and Tiddletots, storytelling activity by OMF Literature Inc. and magical performances by Enchanted Kingdom. 

For a more hands-on experience, the bazaar offers opportunities to make the season even more memorable. Learn how to transform recyclable materials into Christmas decorations and musical instruments through Plastics by Manila Automat and Upstyle: Upcycling Waste with Style. Visitors can also explore floral arranging with Flower Mama and try their hand at Gingerbread House Cookie decorating with Cookie Project MNL.
