A family that wears matchy-matchy clothes together stays together. Plan the theme and have a fun pictorial at home so you can post it on Facebook!

Play games

Cook something special for your family! Or, if you have kids, let them prepare something! It doesn’t have to be super difficult to do; it could even be something as simple as a fruit salad.

Bring Reyal Litson Manok to the table

Aside from cooking up a family favorite, this year you can level up your usual barbecued chicken ulam. Surprise your family by bringing sauce-sarap Reyal Litson Manok to share over at the dinner table! They won’t believe that it’s way different and much more flavorful because instead of getting lechon sauce or toyomansi, they will get a sweet and spicy sauce that’s made with honey, chili oil and garlic bits — flavors that will surely become the highlight of the Noche Buena.

Make a 2017 Family Video
