Escape the crowds this Christmas and take the whole fam down south to Sentosa HarbourFront for a quick getaway
Want to soak in the Christmas festivities in the company of your loved ones without being mobbed by fellow revellers? You can still be in the thick of the action and away from the bustling city centre at the southernmost edge of Singapore! Idyllic venues at Sentosa and HarbourFront are hosting parties, family-friendly events and special promotions to ring in the new year. Have we got you all psyched up? Then check out our list of exciting highlights at Sentosa HarbourFront!
Out-of-this-world shenanigans with adorable Trolls
These wacky-haired creatures have invaded the island of fun and we’re geeking out! Snap plenty of selfies and wefies with cheery Troll installations lining the Merlion Walk, all the way to the Beach Plaza. Be sure to stick around Merlion Plaza when the sun goes down for the incredible light show display featuring a Troll-inspired theme at Merlion Magic Lights!
A whimsical Christmas village
Universal Studios Singapore has transformed its theme park into a fantastical Christmas wonderland complete with a Santa village – on top of these attractions, visitors can also check out topiaries, spiraling trees and a record-breaking light display! And if that’s not enough, there are firework displays happening on some nights, too.
Five-star indulgences
On the hunt for a fancy Christmas feast? Head down to Shutters at Amara Sanctuary Resort – you’ll be tucking into a four-course menu that’s bound to leave you stuffed! And once New Year’s Eve comes a knockin’, Amara is throwing a rooftop countdown party at Tier Bar with dessert and liquid buffets, and a guest DJ to keep you dancing all night long.
More festive offerings can be found at Chinese fine-dining resto Cassia, celebrity chef joint Jamie’s Italian, Faber Peak Singapore and Quayside Isle. But if buffets are more your speed, there are plenty of choices for a luscious spread! Capella Singapore, W Hotel, Le Meridien Singapore and Sofitel Singapore Resort & Spa are prime options for a real treat.
Fun for the kids
Keep the little ones occupied at KidZania’s Christmas Bonanza (1 to 31 December), where they’ll be immersed in role-playing activities and craft-making workshops. There will also be an appearance by Santa at Santa’s Village and a chance to win a pair of return tickets to London! Over at the S.E.A Aquarium Merry Fishmas (1 December to 2 January), the marine life attraction is throwing a Christmas-themed party that includes a storytelling session on marine conservation by Mrs Santa and a special greeting by Santa in scuba diving gear.
Celebrations galore
To get you in the yuletide spirit, VivoCity and HarbourFront Centre are organising a slew of Christmas festivities this entire month! For starters, carollers will be taking over VivoCity’s Sky Park from 3 and 18 December, and visitors will have plenty of photo opportunities with a 107 foot-high musical Christmas tree til’ 26 December. Psst…spend a minimum of $250 and you can redeem a $10 Mapletree voucher too!
Lego fans, you won’t want to miss a towering Lego Christmas tree constructed in the form of an advent calendar at HarbourFront Centre. The mall is also giving away a four-night trip for two to Dubai and a family package to Legoland Malaysia to lucky shoppers – all you have to do is to spend a minimum of $50 to qualify for the lucky draw.
