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.
