Hamon, bibingka and hot tsokolate land on 32nd Street from the first weekend of ber season — with Christmas staycation bundles from Php 7,488 net, a Christmas station on the weekend lunch buffet, festive cocktails at Canary, and early-bird Christmas party rates
TAGUIG CITY, Philippines — September 2026. Filipinos don’t wait for December, and neither does F1 Hotel Manila BGC. First Taste of Christmas brings hamon, queso de bola, bibingka and hot tsokolate to Bonifacio Global City from the season’s very first weekend, running through October 28 across the hotel’s rooms, restaurants, bar and function spaces. One Christmas story, told in every corner of the building.
“Our grandparents taught us to wait for Christmas, not to schedule it. The parol goes up, the bibingka comes off the coals, and the whole house starts counting,” said Cindy Brual, General Manager of F1 Hotel Manila. “That waiting is the tradition we grew up with, and September is when it begins. We’re just setting the table for it.”
Christmas staycations in BGC, dressed for the season
For stays from September 10 to October 28, First Nights of Christmas opens a Deluxe Room or City Suite for two at 20% off when guests book direct with promo code FIRSTNIGHTS26. A welcome tray of hot tsokolate and bibingka bites waits on arrival. Gingerbread parol cookies appear at turndown. Check-out stretches to 2PM, and every stay earns a Php 1,000 voucher for December.
Feast & Stay folds the whole weekend into a single booking with code FEASTSTAY26. Couples start at Php 7,988 net for the room, breakfast, the Weekend Lunch Buffet for two, and Starlight Spritz cocktails at Canary. Families of three start at Php 11,988 net, with a reserved Enigma Art Session slot and a take-home box of Queso de Bola Ensaymada. A Hot Deals rate of Php 7,488 net is open to couples.
The first taste of Christmas on the weekend buffet
The Weekend Lunch Buffet at F All Day Dining runs every Saturday and Sunday at Php 2,299 net, or Php 1,379 on Hot Deals for guests 7 years and above. A carver works the hamon station beside a wheel of queso de bola, two hot Noche Buena dishes join the line, and the merienda corner does what December does: puto bumbong, bibingka, and hot tsokolate poured to order. It’s the first taste, not the full feast. That comes in December.
Children aged 4 to 12 can slip away to the Christmas Craft Corner art session while the adults go back for seconds. Teachers enjoy 30% off with a valid faculty ID until October 5.
At The Patisserie, a new Bibingka Cheesecake and Queso de Bola Ensaymada debut for merienda, takeaway, and corporate gifting.
