Ang UST Paskuhan ay ang taunang pagdiriwang ng Unibersidad ng Santo Tomas (UST) sa panahon ng Pasko. Ito ay kinatatampukan ng parada ng mga karosa ng mga iba't ibang institusyon sa loob ng UST sa hapon kasunod ang isang engrandeng palatuntunan sa gabi, kung saan mapapanood ang mga awitin at tugtugan ng mga mang-aawit at banda ng unibersidad, gayundin ang iba't ibang patimpalak at production numbers. Nagtatapos ang Paskuhan sa pamamagitan ng isang fireworks display.

Paskuhan

Primered by the Eucharistic Celebration, the Paskuhan is the Thomasian way of celebrating Christmas. It is one of the most awaited events of the year showcasing different performances from different student organizations, and live bands, which is complemented with an extravagant show of pyrotechny.  In the 2011 celebration, the crowd was estimated at 100,000.

The Christmas Concert

The UST Christmas Concert features talents from the UST Conservatory of Music, UST Singers, Coro Tomasino, Liturgikon, Conservatory Chorus Class, and the UST Symphony Orchestra. Traditional Filipino and foreign Christmas classics are performed in the event. At the end of every concert, the UST Symphony Orchestra and performers lead the audience in singing some songs such as 'Ang Pasko ay Sumapit.' ~
