Celebrate the holidays with style, comfort, and value right in your kitchen
Nothing says Paskong Pinoy quite like good food and good company. Whether it’s family gathered in a cozy condo or relatives sharing laughter in a provincial home, the heart of every Filipino celebration is always the same delicious dishes made and shared with love.
This year, IKEA Philippines is helping Filipinos elevate their noche buena tables and festive gatherings through its Flavors of Home Festival, a holiday event dedicated to creating warm, stylish, and functional spaces for cooking and dining.
A Feast of Ideas for Every Filipino Home
Held at the IKEA Store in Pasay City, the Flavors of Home Festival brought together food enthusiasts, homemakers, and design lovers for a joyful day of culinary inspiration.
The event featured live cooking demos led by social media foodies Icoy Rapadas, Grace Tanfelix, and Mitch Ngo (@thechinitafoodie), who showcased easy, festive recipes perfect for the holidays. Meanwhile, interior designer Elle Uy offered tips on transforming kitchen and dining spaces using IKEA’s holiday collection proof that great design can be both affordable and achievable for every Filipino home.
Adding to the festive cheer, Angeline Quinto serenaded guests with a soulful rendition of Sharon Cuneta’s “Bituing Walang Ningning.” The song also carried IKEA’s clever sustainability message: don’t waste food “balutin” or “i-Sharon” what’s left to enjoy later!
