TAAL Vista Hotel welcomed the Christmas season with its annual Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony held on Nov. 22, 2025, at the hotel’s historic main lobby, followed by a festive Christmas Wine Dinner at the Sampaguita Ballroom.

The event was graced by esteemed guests, including SM Hotels and Conventions Corp. President Elizabeth Sy and Senior Vice President for Operations Cathy Nepomuceno. The festive atmosphere was set by the Himig San Jose choir and a special performance by Margaux Salcedo. General Manager Ramon Makilan expressed gratitude as the hotel marked its 86th anniversary, sharing updates on the new Lake Wing rooms and Tagaytay’s first Presidential Villa. He reminded everyone that beyond the décor, Christmas celebrates “love, kindness, and togetherness.” Nepomuceno further highlighted the property’s achievements, such as its conferment as a Global Citizens Hub and Ms. Sy’s receipt of the UNA Philippines Presidential Medal.
