By Mona Lagbas

October 25, 2025, Cagayan de Oro City_A blooming holiday magic was unwrapped Saturday night as Kagay-anons and visitors were witness to and were enchanted as SM CDO Downtown festively launched and lit up its Christmas tree with an elaborate fairy tale ambiance.

Dancers and singers clad in very colorful fairy tale costumes entertained the live audience as eager folks snapped up photos and videos of the magical transformation of SM CDO Downtown Event Center. Santa Claus added to the festivities as children scrambled for photo opportunities with the Yuletide icon.

It was indeed a splendid sight and sound presentation as guests and SM top brass and local government officials, namely Councilors Girlie Balaba, Gigi Go and Antuy Roa Pascual, elegantly graced the grand launching and Christmas tree lighting with Miss Cagayan de Oro 2025 Gwyneth Gemimah Chan.
