Christmas in Cubao: Is the Magic Still There? From Farmers Market to Gateway 2 | Araneta City Tour

From the gritty streets of Farmers Market to the futuristic luxury of Gateway 2... does the Christmas magic still exist in Araneta City in 2025?

Tonight, we take a "Time Travel" walk through Cubao. We skip the usual spots and go deep into the streets to see if the holiday spirit is still alive. We start by navigating the busy Farmers Market and the lush Garden Center, hunting for that classic Filipino Christmas vibe. Then, we visit the colorful Parolan bazaar before entering the stunning, modern world of the new Gateway Mall 2.

It’s a walk between two worlds: The Old Cubao we grew up with, and the New Araneta City of today.
