For local celebrities and content creators, the holiday season offers a rare pause from busy schedules, allowing them to celebrate family traditions, count their blessings, and look back on a year filled with milestones.
Rob Deniel
For OPM singer Rob Deniel, Christmas has always been about family. In an exclusive interview with PUSH ABS-CBN, Rob shared that despite his hectic schedule, he makes sure to set aside time for his loved ones during the holidays.
“Ako spending time with family lang lagi ginagawa ko every Christmas. Siguro lalabas kami this Christmas hanggang before New Year kasi mayroon ako na Year End na gig pero ayon yung mahalaga na makasama ko ang family ko this holiday,” Rob expressed.
The “Ulap” hitmaker also reflected on one of his career highlights this year is his performance at the Wish Awards.
“Siguro yung nakakanta ako sa Wish Awards na 'Ikaw Sana' and 'Nandito Ako' medley yung thankful ako this year... Sobrang laking tulong niya sa akin and dahil doon ang dami kong nakikilalang bagong fans and listeners and ayon yung pinakamasaya sa akin.”
Juancho Triviño and Joyce Pring-Triviño
Celebrity couple Juancho Trivino and Joyce Pring-Trivino opened up about their Christmas wishes and what they are looking forward to in the coming year.
“Our Christmas wish for 2025 is a deeper faith, stronger marriage, more laughter at home. And that we continue to be people who show up — for our kids, for each other, and for communities that need hope,” the couple shared with PUSH ABS-CBN.
Joyce also spoke about the simple yet meaningful family moments she treasures every Christmas.
“Every year, I look forward to slow mornings — music playing, kids running around in pajamas, Juancho making my coffee. Watching movies and kwento with him is one of my favorite things, we have simple but intimate family traditions. We like to travel together and just spend quality time.
Juancho, meanwhile, shared his excitement about a major family milestone: “We have been building our new family home since last year, and it's almost finished so we’re really looking forward to that.”

Bassist Aaron Ricafrente expressed gratitude for their song “OSA,” inspired by his beloved dog who passed away, and shared his hopes for the band’s musical journey: “Thankful ako sa OSA. Thankful ako for good health sa family. Sa music, sana tuloy-tuloy siya next year that we can produce good music.”

Fonz
For content creator Fonz, Christmas has become synonymous with giving. Gift-giving, in particular, has turned into a personal tradition.
“One tradition and naging tradition lang siya lately simula nung naging content creator ako, is giving gifts to my siblings and my mom. They’re looking forward na mabigyan ko ng something-something cute, something amazing (laughs),” he shared with PUSH ABS-CBN.
Fonz also hopes to spend the holidays overseas and shared a heartfelt wish for his fellow Filipinos.
“For this year, baka bumalik ako ng Japan. Sobrang happy place ko talaga. Every time in Japan tapos nakakakita ako ng Christmas lights, pagkatapos malamig. Sana, lahat tayo ma-experience ‘yon at some point in our lives because I really really liked it,” he expressed.
Beyond travel, he added, “I want stability for every single Filipino… For this Christmas, I'm hoping more Filipinos will be able to experience a decent life.”
Killa Kush
For Killa Kush, the holiday season is a meaningful opportunity to give back.
“One Christmas activity that I look forward to doing is to give back. The amount that I will be spending as family and friends ko is the same amount that I would give to other people din. Whatever I spend on my family, minamatch ko. I do it every year. It’s nice also to be able to give back directly to certain people,” she shared with PUSH ABS-CBN.
She also plans to prioritize her well-being as the year ends: “For my travel plans, I think I’ll do long trips. I’ll go to Bali or Boracay for a mental and health reset. I like to start my year like that.”
