Anne Curtis has always been one of the most anticipated figures in the ABS-CBN Christmas ID. While she’s usually seen sharing the frame with her &quot;<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/itsshowtime" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">It’s Showtime</a>&quot; family, this year feels even more special as she joins her co-stars from her upcoming series, the Philippine adaptation of the beloved K-Drama “<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/articles-videos/anne-carlo-and-joshua-topbill-ph-adaptation-of-its-okay-to-not-be-okay-22368" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">It’s Okay To Not Be Okay</a>.”It&#x27;s actually the first time we get a sneak peek of the whole cast coming together on screen, which makes it even more exciting. This behind-the-scenes video of the making of ABS-CBN Christmas ID &quot;Our Stories Shine This Christmas&quot; gives us an even closer look at the cast ensemble&#x27;s off-cam camaraderie. It opens with Anne’s rehearsal with ABS-CBN&#x27;s Jonathan Manalo before her recording session, which totally captures her endless charm as she lights up when Jonathan calls her performance &quot;perfect.&quot;From there, we see Anne bonding with her “<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/articles-videos/anne-carlo-and-joshua-topbill-ph-adaptation-of-its-okay-to-not-be-okay-22368" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">It’s Okay To Not Be Okay</a>” co-stars. With the series slated to premiere in 2025, this is the first time we’re seeing the full ensemble cast share the same frame. And let’s just say, their chemistry shines bright like a Christmas star!Fans can’t help but speculate if there will be a romantic angle between the younger stars Xyriel Manabat, Aljon Mendoza, Bianca de Vera, and Louise Abuel in the series, as their interactions in the music video radiate unmistakable spark. Also joining them are Enchong Dee and Kaori Oinuma. We then get a ‘pasilip’ into Anne’s on-screen chemistry with Joshua Garcia and Carlo Aquino, which was a treat for fans eagerly anticipating the series. The magic is brewing in just one frame! The cast also had a meaningful kwentuhan with April Doria, the alopecia warrior, whose story of courage and self-love aligns beautifully with the Christmas ID’s theme of celebrating everyday heroes who embody hope and love. To recall, April first shared her story on “<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/itsshowtime" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">It&#x27;s Showtime</a>,” where Anne is one of the hosts.The behind-the-scenes footage then offers a peek into the cast members&#x27; Mental Health Exercise with April led by the workers of Mental Health PH. Apart from praising April&#x27;s bravery for inspiring others, the facilitators also highlighted the importance of sharing one’s story for mental well-being. It’s a powerful reminder that the season of giving goes beyond material gifts, but about offering support, kindness, and understanding.

Anne Curtis nails the perfect pitch and bonds with her "It's Okay To Not Be Okay" co-stars in festive behind-the-scenes moments of ABS-CBN Christmas ID 2024.
