It's a Christmas Wonderland at Movenpick Cebu!

Last Wednesday, December 7, 2011, Movenpick Cebu celebrated their first Christmas Tree Lighting with a fairies, magic and a glimpse of fairyland.

While waiting for the program to begin, goblets of Gluhwein and Eggnog were offered by Santarinas to the guests and a holiday spread of turkeys, glazed ham and the famous Movenpick ice cream were also served.

The Christmas Tree Lighting began when Movenpick Resort & Spa Cebu General Manager Klaus Graesslin handed a gold box to former DOT Regional Director Dawnie Roa. When she opened the box, a whimsical tune filled the atmosphere and a gold fairy descends gracefully from the air (a la Tinkerbell), waves the gold and silver-tipped wand to the tree..and ta-dah! Lights on.

Most people lit their Christmas trees by pushing a button. Movenpick Resort & Spa Cebu, on the other hand, have different ideas. True to their slogan "Passionately Swiss", they're passionate in captivating the audience with their unique idea of a Christmas tree lighting. No celebrities were involved, only dedicated people working behind the scenes and doing the stunts.
