Affordable Holiday Activities For You to Try This Year!
The holiday season is finally here, lights are up, malls are getting busier, traffic’s getting worse, and everyone’s planning where to go and what to do. We get what the buzz is all about.
The holidays can get pretty expensive if you’re not prepared for it. But you don’t always have to to spend a lot to enjoy the season.
Sometimes, the best holiday memories come from mundane moments like exploring the city, spending time with loved ones, or just simply relaxing by yourself.
And if you’re looking for a spot that’s budget-friendly but still close to all the holiday activities, Hotel MySpaceComembo is a great pick. It’s near BGC, Makati, Taguig, and Pateros, so you’re quite literally surrounded by places to explore without overspending.
Here Are 6 Affordable Holiday Activities For You To Keep An Eye Out For
1. Explore the Free Christmas Lights and Displays in BGC
BGC is lighting up again this holiday season, and there’s a lot to look forward to. Their High Street Holiday 2025 officially kicked off last November 15 with a Christmas tree lighting event. During Saturdays and Sundays, there are live performance and fireworks shows for you to watch out for along 5th Avenue.
If you’re into something more themed, MITSUKOSHI BGC is running a Doraemon: A Sparkling Adventure holiday display from Nov 1, 2025 to Jan 12, 2026, complete with festive installations.
You can also drop by Taguig People’s Park, which recently turned into a holiday wonderland with light-up installations to celebrate, “Ang Pasko sa Taguig.”
Strolling around these spots gives you a ton of festive vibes— great for photos, relaxing, or just soaking in the holiday spirit without spending too much.
2. Visit Nearby Parks and Open Spaces
If you want something relaxing, there are plenty of parks around:
Track 30th
Terra 28th
Bonifacio High Street
These spots are perfect for morning walks, picnics, sunset dates, or just chilling on a weekend with your friends or loved ones.
3. Do a DIY Holiday Photoshoot
Instead of paying for studio shoots, you can create your own festive photos. Here are some of our favorite spots for a DIY Holiday Photoshoot.
High Street Park Area
Track 30th
MySpace Hotel
Why these spots are our favorite for themed photoshoots:
Open spaces allow for natural lighting
Shooting during the golden hour (late afternoon) in these areas give your photos a warm and cozy glow.
More freedom with angles and framing
If you're looking to experiment with angles, these spots are spacious enough! You can try shooting from low angles, close-ups, or reflective mirror/window photos.
Steady support
Some don't have photographer friends so tripods come in proxy. These locations accommodate the use of tripods for steady, supported shots, making them perfect for solo models.
It’s fun, free, and you’ll get Instagram-worthy shots without spending a dime!
4. Go on a Budget Food Trip Nearby
There are plenty of affordable food spots around Comembo, Kalayaan Ave, and the edges of BGC. You can try local food stalls, carinderias, small cafés, or hidden gems around the area. A simple food trip is always a good idea, and you don’t need to spend much.
5. Host a Small Holiday Gathering
If you want to celebrate with family or friends, Hotel MySpace Comembo has three function rooms (50 pax, 80 pax and 100 pax). You can hold reunions, mini Christmas parties, office gatherings, or intimate celebrations without going over budget. The hotel can help with styling and planning too.
6. Have a Chill Movie Night or Game Night
This one is super low-cost but always fun. Grab snacks, make hot choco, and spend the night watching movies or playing games in your room. Perfect for couples, barkadas, or solo guests who just want to relax.
