Are you dismayed that you will miss the snow on your holiday to Singapore this Christmas? Fear not. Here are five things you can do to celebrate Christmas while on vacation.
What would Christmas be without its twinkling lights illuminating every corner? To immerse yourself in the spirit of Christmas while in Singapore, take a stroll down Marine Bay. Along the waterfront promenade, you will find Christmas trees adorned with lights from head to toe. Envelope yourself in a dazzling dose of Yuletide bliss as carollers sing and fireworks erupt behind you in a breathtaking display. Take as many pictures as you please and add them to your holiday collection. With spectacles like these, your mind is sure to be occupied and awestruck by the lights instead of wishing for snow.
With festive fun, enchanting lights and flashy decorations, the Christmas Village at Orchard Road is a must-visit in December. Not only can you shop for holiday-themed presents, but you will also find a wide array of delicious treats at your fingertips! If you are travelling with family, this is the perfect place for you. Take your kids on carnival rides or drop them off at workshops where they will be entertained by a plethora of activities.
What would Christmas be without a dinner to wrap it all up? Being surrounded by your loved ones while digging into a slice of roast beef with mashed potatoes or chewing off crumbs of a gingerbread house are festive experiences that you cannot miss out on! Even if you might be alone this Christmas, head straight to one of the best restaurants in Singapore and treat yourself to a delicious meal. If you are lucky enough to be travelling with a group, or if you know a few people in Singapore, you could even consider hosting your own dinner. With Entrepôt, you can book a private dining room for your guests and host a Christmas dinner that they are likely to remember in the years to come.
Do not forget to bring back some Christmas gifts for your loved ones with you. Shop at VivoCity, Singapore’s largest shopping mall. Not only will you find seasonal discounts at every corner but you will also be able to immerse yourself in the joyful holiday atmosphere exuded by the mall. Take pictures with the gigantic Christmas tree outside and indulge in Christmas-themed dishes at the food court. Keep an eye out for pop-up booths that sell a variety of seasonal delicacies, handmade crafts and decorations.
If none of these make up for the absence of snow, head over to the Rink in JCube, where the faux snowfalls will create a magical atmosphere around you. If you have never skated before, do not worry! You could sign up for a short skating lesson and get guidance from your coach on becoming comfortable on the ice. This unique experience is perfect for capturing holiday photographs and creating lasting memories.
