Christmas season on Boracay is about the same as any marketing driven area. Theres lots of events but only advirtised to the tragically hip or business owners.
We have the interesting assortment of holiday decorations in the resorts such as small potted mango trees as Christmas trees and light strings hung all over as well as the begger kids singing carols for coins – they excell at embarrasing forigners into large tips by yelping as if struck.
They don’t tend to play traditional versions of holiday songs but instead remixes of pop-80′s remakes of holiday songs and it really works for an area like this… After all, slow songs about snowy winters means little on a tropical island. Right now, I’m listening to a reggae christmas version of “I’ve Got You Babe” with St Nick tossed in the mix.
There,s going to be some midnight mass events and regardless of being the Atheist I am, it’s still nice to witness age old traditions.

Drink some eggnog and put on a santa hat. You could be in the sandbox during the holidays.
