Romantic Christmas Activities in Cebu | Your Ultimate Filipino Dating Guide

The Philippines is known for having the longest Christmas in the world. The holiday season in the country officially starts as early as September. And the way they celebrate it in the city of Cebu is particularly interesting, not only because of the strong sense of holiday spirit blanketing the air, but also because the Filipino dating scene is in full bloom during this time of year.

This is indeed one of the best times of the year for you to not miss out on dating a Filipina. It’d be a shame if you didn’t take advantage of the romantic atmosphere and the slew of activities that you can do with your lovely date.

Thus, here are 5 of the most romantic Christmas activities in Cebu that are perfect for a simple yet romantic date with a beautiful Cebuana:

1. Visit the gigantic Christmas Tree at the Fuente Osmeña Circle

   A Cebuano Christmas will never be complete without the 120 plus foot Christmas Tree in the middle of the busy rotunda of Fuente Osmeña Circle in uptown Cebu. The gigantic Tree of Hope, as it’s called, lights up the entire rotunda creating a joyous and romantic atmosphere.

   At the foot of the tree, several vendors sell all sorts of goodies that are perfect for a cost-effective yet romantic date. This is one Christmas activity you cannot afford to miss in Cebu.

2. Watch a colorful light show at the Terraces in Ayala Center Cebu

   Every holiday season, a premier shopping mall in Cebu dazzles its guests and shoppers alike with a unique spectacle. A massive ensemble of colorful lights donning the terraces area of the mall dances to the tune of Christmas songs in a spectacle they call The Symphony of Lights.

   Ayala Center is also an ideal place to meet single women in Cebu. Most of the city’s loveliest ladies frequent this mall, especially during the holiday season. So if you want to stumble upon a beautiful Cebuana while shopping, Ayala is the place to be.

3. Go to a local carnival

   Considering how fun-loving Cebuanos are, it would be remiss if they don’t put up a carnival to celebrate the most important season of the year. True enough, every first week of December, the Kasadya sa SRP opens its doors to its guests for a night of fun and merrymaking.

   Being fun-loving and easy-going is one of the most desirable characteristics of Filipino women. So taking your Cebuana date to a carnival will definitely be one to remember.

4. Attend the Misa de Gallo

   Misa de Gallo, or more commonly known as Simbang Gabi, is a series of pre-dawn masses that start from December 16 to December 24. This is a long-standing Filipino tradition that they have inherited from Spanish colonizers.

   Given how important this tradition is to them, you should consider yourself extremely lucky if you ever get asked by your Cebuana date to go with her to one of these masses. Receiving such an invite is one of the most obvious signs that a Filipina likes you.

5. Go shopping at Christmas night markets and thrift shops

   From 6 pm to 12 midnight during the entirety of the holiday season, Colon street in downtown Cebu transforms into a massive thrift market. This is a perfect date idea if you want to see and experience first hand the simplicity of the Cebuano lifestyle.

Cebu is already full of life and color as it is, but during the Holiday season, it’s in an entirely different element. Everything just lights up and becomes a lot more colorful.
