The 18th Christmas Toys & Collectibles Fair Is Back, Bigger and Better Than Ever
The holiday season just got a whole lot more exciting for toy lovers and pop-culture fans. The Christmas Toys & Collectibles Fair, now in its 18th year, is returning from December 12 to 14, 2025, at the Megatrade Halls, SM Megamall Building B, and promises a weekend packed with toys, art, and festive fun. Daily hours are from 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM.
Organized by TOYCON PH, the same team behind the country’s biggest pop-culture event, this annual fair has grown from a simple holiday bazaar into a must-visit gathering for collectors, artists, cosplayers, gamers, and families. Whether you’re hunting for rare figurines, unique art pieces, or limited-edition collectibles, the Christmas ToyFair is the place to be this season.
More Than Just a Toy Fair
The event has become a holiday tradition for many, offering more than shopping—it’s a celebration of creativity, fandom, and the community of collectors. Fans can browse over 350 booths featuring action figures, board games, holiday merchandise, comics, and DIY crafts. Beyond shopping, the fair brings together artists, cosplayers, and content creators to showcase their work, meet fans, and spread the joy of giving.
Collector highlights include rare items and limited-edition releases from renowned local artists such as Quiccs, Reen Barrera, Creon Chknhead, Pol Medina, and Harvey Tolibao. Artist Alley remains the heart of the fair, featuring indie illustrators, 3D artists, customizers, and toy makers selling hand-sculpted art toys, resin figures, prints, and stickers.
