Nutella Spreads Love the Filipino Way this 2023 Holiday Season

Nutella Spreads Love the Filipino Way this 2023 Holiday Season

The most wonderful time of the year is just around the corner and Nutella is giving us the keys to exciting holiday activities.

Ready your hearts because the world of Nutella will open its doors for all Nutella lovers out there through the Food Gift Factory in Noel Bazaar (Filinvest Tent Alabang) on Dec 8 – 10. You may now experience warmth and cheer as you share goodies with those who are not fortunate enough to spend the holidays with their loved ones. Sharing the love is made easy with three steps; Step 1 is to visit the Nutella stall in the Noel Bazaar to buy Nutella pastries and bundles. Step 2 is to take your family portrait and turn it into your personalized holiday gift card. Lastly, Step 3 is using the official hashtag #SpreadTheNutellaLove with your posts online to encourage more people to visit the booth.

It is so Filipino coded to not only celebrate the holiday season as early as the ber months started but to prepare gifts as well to show love and sincerity towards other people. It is through a long list of gifts to give that you find out which gifter personality you have.

You will discover whether you should join the boat of the traditionalists, who have a strong hold on culture, or maybe the emotional gifters, who value relationships and memories. The Safe Players is also a quirky and fun way to identify yourself, just as much as being a Bargain Hunter. If you are chill enough, then you belong in the Last-Minute Gifters.

Picking the best gift for your family is also what everyone is looking forward to during these times, which is why Nutella vows to empower Filipino creativity for gift ideas this year.

Below are Nutella’s recommended recipes for each gifter personality. If you identify yourself as one of the listed, then go ahead and start being the Nutella Santa of your family!
