Best things to do and see in Singapore during the month of Christmas
As promised, here’s your guide to the best Christmas events and sights for you and your family, covering crowd-favourites and offbeat suggestions.
- Christmas Wonderland at Supertree Grove: Singapore’s biggest Christmas event is happening at The Supertree Grove and The Meadow, featuring 40 attractions, including dazzling light displays, stimulated snowfall, exciting carnival games and rides, festive treats and a first-of-its-kind flying Santa. To make things merrier, this year’s Wonderland presents a German-inspired 16-metre-tall structure with iconic festive characters, for those unforgettable holiday selfies. A not-to-be missed event for families, first-time visitors in Singapore and couples who love all things whimsical.
- Disney Showcase: This year, the world’s best airport has transformed into a dazzling Disney-themed playground as part of its Festive Village. Think of it as pure joy, supersized: larger-than-life character installations, vibrant photo spots featuring Disney favourites, and interactive zones where little ones can run wild. Jewel is fully in the holiday spirit too, with its mesmerising Rain Vortex taking centre stage in a special Light & Music Showcase inspired by the Disney Cruise Line.
- World Christmas Market at Marina Bay: The World Christmas Market 2025 is back for a second run with a bigger, brighter Christmas playground of nine festive zones at the iconic Marina Bay. Featuring pet-friendly zones, rides, and games for children. The 8m-tall Christmas tree studded with 1,500 mirror balls, ringed by festive stalls, light installations and a Community Wishing Tree, makes for a perfect backdrop for couple selfies and family holiday portraits.
- Emerald City at Sentosa: Fans of Wicked are in for a treat as Sentosa has undergone a magical makeover, with 6 limited-time installations sprawled between Resorts World Station and Imbiah Station on the Sentosa Express. From large-sized Glinda’s Bubble to the ginormous Elphaba’s Hat, the Wicked-theme installations are truly mind-blowing. An Ozmopolitan Display of Music & Lights light show runs on most days—a spectacle for families, couples and tourists in Singpaore. Keep your phones ready, as you encounter magical photo-ops for your socials within the New York zone of the theme park.
