ABS-CBN continues its cherished tradition of bringing joy to Filipino viewers through its annual Christmas Specials, a highlight of the holiday season for Kapamilya fans across the country.
On Tuesday, December 9, the network held the official taping of “Love, Joy and Hope: The ABS-CBN Christmas Special 2025” at Studio 10 of the ELJ Building—the same studio used by the Kapamilya noontime show ASAP.
The taping gathered a powerhouse roster of Kapamilya stars, led by Coco Martin, Kathryn Bernardo, and Vice Ganda—currently regarded as the top three biggest stars of the Lopez-led content giant.
Also present were ABS-CBN’s beloved love teams and artists including Donny Pangilinan and Belle Mariano (DonBelle), Francine Diaz and Seth Fedelin (FranSeth), JM Ibarra and Fyang Smith (JMFyang), Kyle Echarri, Luis Manzano, Jessy Mendiola-Manzano, Julia Montes, Martin Nievera, Zsa Zsa Padilla, Erik Santos, Gary Valenciano, Ogie Alcasid, Regine Velasquez-Alcasid, and P-POP groups WRIVE, BINI, and BGYO.
Cast members, hosts, and anchors from Kapamilya programs such as It’s Showtime, FPJ’s Batang Quiapo, ROJA, What Lies Beneath, Magandang Buhay, TV Patrol, Your Face Sounds Familiar, and many others also joined the celebration.
This marks the fourth time that ABS-CBN has held its Christmas Special inside the ELJ Building, rather than at its usual venue, the SMART Araneta Coliseum.
“Love, Joy and Hope: The ABS-CBN Christmas Special 2025” will air on December 13 and 14 on Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live, iWant, and A2Z—spreading the spirit of Christmas to millions of Filipino households.
