It’s Christmas time once again, the happiest season that everyone looks forward to every year because of the gift giving and the best time to bond your friends, family and love ones. With this special occasion, SM Supermalls plays a very special part in the lives of every Filipino who wanted to make Christmas special from the clothes they wear, food they serve in Noche Buena and gifts for their friends and love ones. To make that Christmas shopping experience more fun and extra special SM Supermalls chose Maria Aragon, the international YouTube sensation, as the official Voice of SM Christmas.
The 11 year old, Maria Aragon has come a long way ever since she uploaded a video of her breakthrough acoustic rendition of Lady Gaga’s song, Born This Way, back in February of this year. This video has become a viral hit after Lady Gaga herself saw and promoted this video urging her fans to view it, and at present the video already reached more than 43 Million views worldwide. After the rise in popularity and fan-base that the video had generated for Maria Aragon, she was invited by Ellen DeGeneres to perform the song at her show. She eventually was invited by Lady Gaga to perform with her during her Monster Ball Tour leg in Toronto. Maria Aragon was also given the opportunity to perform for dignitaries including Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, and for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge during their 2011 royal tour of Canada.
Here’s the music video of SM Christmas with Maria Aragon:
Here in the Philippines, Maria was signed by Star Records and has since released her self-titled album consisting of seven tracks including her rendition of Lea Salonga’s “You’re My You” which was used for the movie, “Way Back Home”. She also sings the official theme song of ABS-CBN’s Junior Master Chef Pinoy Edition and their Christmas campaign “Da Best Ang Pasko ng Pilipino”. She also sung the Philippine National Anthem during the boxing fight of Manny Pacquiao and Manuel Marquez last November 13. And now Maria Aragon was chosen as the Voice of SM Christmas as she will sing a remixed version of SM Supermalls’ official holiday tune, SM Christmas ChriSMs Bop.
Aside from the Christmas theme song of SM Supermalls, shoppers can now enjoy their visit at SM and have their photos taken at the Christmas decors located at the activity areas of all SM Supermalls.
