No one celebrates the Yuletide season better than the Filipinos! Resilient, jubilant and charming, Pinoys are known all over the world for their long, lavish, animated and one-of-a-kind holiday season celebrations. Although our motherland doesn’t have a wintry backdrop that echoes a quintessential Christmas feel, the Yuletide season is still very much alive all over the archipelago, thanks to our unique and amazing customs. ## While Christmas is a holiday celebrated worldwide, some of our traditions are completely and uniquely Filipino.
