During the holiday season, Filipinos enjoy two things the most: (1) festive Christmas lights and decorations; and (2) savoring delicious food with their loved ones. This year, Jollibee brings these elements together.

8List.ph attended the official launch of Jollibee’s Joyful Christmas Stores in Bonifacio Global City. They went all out, with carolers, light dance performances, ever-adorable mascots, appearances from Jollibee celebrity endorsers Gary Valenciano, Anne Curtis, Maja Salvador, and more. So what exactly can you look forward to at the Joyful Christmas Stores? To get a better idea, here are just some of the things we love about them:

1. They brighten the holiday season

Jollibee’s Joyful Christmas Stores leave no stone unturned in their quest to spread holiday cheer. Practically every inch of the store is bathed in the warm, cozy glow of Christmas lights. Even the drive-thru isn’t spared – a trip through it is like journeying through a tunnel of festive cheer. The store’s celebratory glow is enough to make passersby and motorists feel the Christmas spirit whenever they pass a Jollibee store.

2. They make for great bonding moments with family and friends

Christmas is all about spending quality time with loved ones, and what better way to do that than over some delicious food in a festive setting? Jollibee’s Joyful Christmas Stores are the perfect place to catch up with family and friends, reminisce about good old times, and create new memories that will last a lifetime while feasting over Jollibee favorites

3. They’re the perfect backdrop for your holiday photos

With their festive atmosphere, Jollibee’s Joyful Christmas Stores are the perfect setting for creating and capturing holiday memories. (Don’t forget to take a selfie with Jollibee!)

4. They’ll make you feel like a kid again

Some folks say Christmas is just for children, but Jollibee’s Joyful Christmas Stores can make you feel like a kid again. The images  of our favorite mascots, the familiar smell of our favorite Jollibee meals, and the cozy festive atmosphere will take you back to the simple joys of childhood and carefree holiday seasons.

5. They’re the grand finale of a huge celebration

As the culmination of Jollibee’s grand 45^th-anniversary celebration, the Joyful Christmas Stores perfectly represent the joy that the brand has been spreading for over four decades. At the launch, Gary V spoke about how Jollibee has consistently made the effort to create moments of joy.

“There are many moments in life, but the joyful moments are the ones we remember the most. And it’s the ones that we want to happen again and again…” he said. Mr. Pure Energy was Jollibee’s first-ever celebrity endorser, so when he was asked by Jollibee to return as an endorser and record their anniversary anthem “Share the Joy”, he said it just made sense. “It’s really something that brings all of us joy. For me to have been given the chance to sing that song with that kind of message, parang tugma. Parang eksakto. Everything just flowed.”
