Probably not, if you consider how many Asian countries aren’t Christian. But the target country of the NGO (Childhope Asia Philippines) does know Christmas and has been celebrating it for a long time.

That Christmas tree is better than the one I had this year.
Nice campaign.

still undecided as to whether these would these be considered print ads or guerilla.

Pretty sure these are print ads, just because of the little patch on the top right or bottom left.

Nicely done.

I like the idea much better as print ads; the Flash was kinda weak.

I am not sure if most of Asia know about Christmas.

The ones above are print ads, not guerilla. The whole guerilla effect is the result of a clever concept.
I have a theory that the chalk drawings were done after the photographs have been taken. (graphic design, wasn’t really drawn on the pavement).
Furthermore, the flash design that Houtlof was referring to is merely an addition that can be found in BBDO/GO’s website as an e-card.
As for Christmas not being known to Asian countries, surprisingly, it very much is, with its commercialization through the years.
Also, the ad’s target audience are Filipinos, and roughly 4 out 5 Filipinos are Christians (most of them Catholics).
Currently doing a review of this campaign for my advertising class project.
