Anko’s 2026 Christmas collection looks festive without taking over the house

HandoutAnko’s Christmas collection is unmistakably festive. What surprised me was how seamlessly the pieces layered into an actual home. They brought the holiday spirit into the space without taking away its personal feel.

At its preview at Pinkhouse in Taguig, Anko set up the collection across a home, from the living room and dining area to the kitchen and other corners. Christmas trees, bows, stockings, ornaments, Santa mugs, gingerbread pieces, and little Christmas characters filled the space.

But the house still looked like a house.

That made the Pinkhouse setting work particularly well. Instead of presenting the collection as a Christmas display, Anko showed how the pieces could work across different parts of a home, from living and dining to entertaining and gifting.

There is plenty of red and green, along with the usual festive pieces, but Anko also brings in pink and stripes. The two-foot Light Up Mini Pink Christmas Tree, bauble wreaths, and bows instantly caught my eye. Given the splash of magenta in Anko’s own logo, leaning into pink for the holidays makes complete sense. It gives the usual Christmas palette a fresh spin without feeling forced.

Lou Rulloda, merchandise manager of Anko Philippines, describes the direction as “playful characters, stripes, and bows,” naming the Gingerbread Candle and Christmas Mouse Plushies among her personal favorites.

I also liked seeing the Christmas pieces alongside things that could stay in the house all year.

In many Filipino homes, Christmas decorations have a very specific life cycle: they come out toward the end of the year, take over the house for a few weeks, then go back into storage after the holidays. Anko mixes its Christmas collection with everyday home finds such as cushions, candles, vases, and placemats that do not need to disappear in January. The brand specifically points to pieces such as the Pesto Round Cushion, Retreat Vetiver Candle, Pink Port Twist Glass Vase, and Sunburst Placemats as year-round finds.

When the season wraps up, some of it doesn’t even have to go back in the box.
