We might not experience real snow or have reindeers in sunny Singapore, but Christmas in Singapore is as big as any other celebration during the year. If you are looking for something memorable to mark the festivities, visit Christmas Wonderland,
Singapore’s biggest annual yuletide fair. The fourth edition of the enchanting Christmas Wonderland will cast a spell on Singapore from 1 December to 26 December, 2017.

Organised by Blue Sky Events, visitors can look forward to be dazzled by picturesque
luminarie light sculptures, brand new attractions, yuletide activities, as well as retail and
dining options across the 57,000sqm festival ground.
The magnificent luminarie – sculptures of light, a mainstay of the event, will feature
80 handcrafted light sculptures with brand new designs at this year’s Christmas
Wonderland. For the first time, the event will feature a 13m tall Christmas ‘tree’ as well
as the tallest luminarie in Southeast Asia, the Spalliera. Here, visitors can experience
‘snow’ in the tropics with the nightly Blizzard Time, which has been increased from
three to five sessions daily due to its overwhelming popularity.

Unforgettable treats await – the
highly-acclaimed Circus Abyssinia from Ethiopia makes its Asian premiere with
gravity-defying stunts and astounding acrobatics. Flying reindeers amid a starry
nightscape and stunning photo installations greet visitors as they step into Asia’s largest
Santa’s Grotto. Over 100 prizes will be given away daily and one lucky winner will win
the grand prize of a trip to Lapland, Finland.
Food aficionados can head to SAVOUR for celebrity chef creations priced from $6 from
award-winning restaurants and dine alfresco under the twinkling lights or in airconditioned
Snow Globes, a first at Christmas Wonderland. Diners can also head to the
Finest Wine Market where over 130 types of wines from around the world awaits.
A treasure trove of activities, treats and gifting gems are in store at the Supertree Grove.
Free Festive Workshops and more retail options are available for the first time at the
all-new Mistletoe Alley, whilst the European-style Festive Market offers unique readymade
gifts and a wide variety of culinary offerings. Visitors can also enjoy Christmas
carols and live performances at the magical Cassa Armonica gazebo, or sing along to
