Make your family’s Christmas even more special

Do you remember how excited you were for the holidays as a kid? You went malling with your family for décor and gift shopping. You listened to classic Christmas songs on the radio or on a CD compilation with your all-time faves on repeat for a cheery atmosphere. You went with the family and wanted to complete the traditional Simbang Gabi, and then ate delicious bibingka and puto bumbong.

Parties served a lot of delicious food as if the holiday feast would never end. These are just some of the memories that made Christmas even more special for you and your family.

Now you have your own family with kids looking forward to a merry Christmas. What you can do to make this joyous time even more festive is to create new Christmas traditions with your family!

Plan and prepare Noche Buena together

Food brings the family together. Ask your children what they want for Noche Buena and let them participate in preparing the meals! Enjoy taking photos of the activity and document every step of the recipes as if you’re creating home movies. It might get messy in the kitchen and the food might not turn out as expected but little moments like these are priceless.

Binge watch new and classic Christmas movies

Spend a night binge watching new and classic Christmas movies together over popcorn or your favorite ice cream. Ask everyone what films they want to see and make a list with a mix of old and new Christmas films. Sharing your favorite classic movies with the kids gives them an idea how Christmas was like years ago and how you enjoyed it as a kid. At the same time, taking time to watch what movies interest them gives you an idea how to make their Christmas even more fun and interesting.

Initiate meaningful family conversations

Make it a point that heart-to-heart talks about meaningful topics become a holiday practice. Open a tub of your favorite Selecta Ice Cream flavor, chill beside the Christmas tree, and start an interesting subject matter to discuss. A good way to start is by asking everyone their “high and lows” wherein each person has a turn to share the happiest and saddest parts of their day. It’s a great way to share happiness and comfort family members to make everything better just like Selecta Bestseller’s new commercial featuring the Legaspi family below.

Become a listener or adviser as needed during their heartbreaks and failures.

Laugh together during cheesy and corny situations.

An open and honest family conversation over a tub of ice cream is a good opportunity to listen and learn from each other. May it be a cheesy moment over Selecta Quezo Real or mending a daughter’s broken heart over Selecta Double Dutch’s sweet and soothing ice cream, a Selecta Supreme Bestseller can bring the family closer together during highs and lows.

Special and heartfelt times shared with the family will remain precious and important especially during the Christmas season. It is during these moments that we can nurture each family member with love and happiness and create valuable memories that we can treasure in the future.
