Much-loved Disney and Pixar characters are the stars of a popular mall’s immersive Christmas drive-thru returning this year.
SM Mall of Asia launched its colorful light show for the Holiday season with the theme “From Our Family To Yours” where Pinoys can enjoy twinkling bright lights, colorful installations and Christmas music.
Kids and kids-at-heart will be greeted by seven larger-than-life Disney-themed installations they can safely appreciate from the comforts of their car.
The audio-visual drive-thru experience has seven “magical zones” that will please visitors as they travel through the driveway.
They will be greeted by a brightly-lit tunnel full of ribbons and Disney favorite Mickey Mouse as they drive through dazzling Mickey wreaths wrapped with multicolored lights.
Visitors will then experience a nostalgic ride as classic Disney princesses welcome them to a “Hall of Fame Zone” filled with bedazzled stars and gigantic Christmas balls.
After this, they will be greeted by MOA Gingerbread Christmas treats featuring Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck and Daisy Duck.
