  (SPOT.ph) Pandemic or not, Filipinos are all about decking the halls, reuniting with friends and family, and going all out every Christmas season. And if you want to experience winter wonderland (or at least, something close to it) locally, you can hop on a bus and head to one of the most popular annual holiday destinations—the annual Baguio Country Club Christmas Village in Baguio City, Benguet.

  The holiday attraction is open daily from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. until January 9, 2022. Entrance fee ranges from P70 to P100 depending on what time of the day you’re visiting. This year’s theme is “Colours of Christmas.”
