Emerald City officially landed in Pasay as the SM Mall of Asia lit up the holidays with the Wicked for Good Christmas Tree Lighting, drawing in fans of the hit musical, holiday lovers, and curious mallgoers who just couldn’t resist the emerald glow.

What was usually a regular weekend night at MOA turned into something straight out of Oz. The moment you stepped into Level 3 North, MOA Sky, the place was already buzzing—green lights shimmering across the space, music from the beloved musical filling the air, and crowds eager to witness the first big Christmas moment of the year.

But the real “wait-for-it” moment came when the towering tree burst into life, followed by a massive drone show that painted the sky in emerald hues. Hundreds of lights moved in sync, forming shapes and symbols inspired by Wicked, transforming the MOA skyline into a glowing celebration you could see from miles away. Phones were out, jaws were dropped, and yes—everyone got their IG Story moment.

The night wasn’t just about lights—it was about stepping into the magic of Oz. From themed visuals to immersive photo spots, every corner invited guests to feel like they were part of the story. Whether you were a hardcore Broadway fan or just someone chasing that early Christmas spark, the entire setup offered a dose of holiday serotonin.

As the event wrapped up, the excitement didn’t fade. If anything, it set the tone for a season that’s shaping up to be wickedly bright at the Mall of Asia.
