Christmas 2025 highlights at Marina Bay Sands
1. Step into a magical festive world
Holiday decor can make or break the mood, and Marina Bay Sands delivers on its Christmas ambience. The first thing you’ll spot? Majestic, towering Christmas trees adorned with oversized ornaments. Coupled with life-sized Nutcracker butlers that line the base of the trees, this nostalgic ambience feels straight out of a dreamy fairytale.

We hear there’ll also be a nightly Nutcracker LED show at the Grand South Colonnade between the Gucci and Chanel stores. Head over at 7.30pm and 8.30pm to catch the dazzling spectacle!
2. Let the feasting begin
What’s Christmas without stuffing yourself silly? Feast to your heart’s content at Rise’s festive buffet, available on 24, 25 and 31 December 2025 and 1 January 2026. Priced from $138++ for lunch and $148++ for dinner, the buffet spread includes exciting holiday highlights, on top of crowd-favourite seafood on ice, live stations, and local delicacies.
Whet your appetite with refreshing starters like broccolini and cos lettuce salad, and pate en croute, before heading to the carvery station for BBQ black pork ribs, sustainable salmon wellington, and tomahawk angus beef shank with pilaf rice. Other unmissable picks include the Mayura wagyu beef tenderloin and Roaring Forties Tasmanian lamb chop, as well as classic stollen and fruit cake for the sweet tooth. Psst: to enjoy free-flowing Manchurian caviar on top of all this, come by on 24 and 25 December!
Pining for daytime indulgence? Available on 25 December 2025, Yardbird’s Christmas brunch menu will have you sorted from 11am till 4pm. All-time brunch classics get a holiday upgrade, featuring Christmas souffle pancakes ($22) with citrus glaze and whipped cream, shakshuka ($28) served with grilled country bread, and chestnut Brussels sprouts gratin ($18).
Make it a boozy brunch with the Brandy Alexander ($23), a blend of Cognac, creme de cacao, cream and nutmeg, and the blood orange ginger mimosa ($22). Or, go alcohol-free with a comforting mug of spiked hot chocolate ($24) and refreshing Holly Berry Fiz ($14).
Gourmet burger chain Black Tap is also in on the Christmas cheer. Try its December special bone marrow butter burger, featuring prime beef, bone marrow butter, black pepper horseradish pickles, herbed hash and a generous lashing of bone marrow gravy. Pair this juicy burger with one of the iconic CrazyShakes, and you’ve got indulgence at its best.
3. Holiday bakes to sweeten the season
After getting your savoury fix, it’s on to the sweets! Marina Bay Sands’ beloved patisserie, Origin + Bloom, turns into a magical life-sized gingerbread house this Christmas. Say hello to two life-sized Nutcracker butlers who welcome you at the store entrance. Step inside and you’ll be surrounded by walls decorated with delicious panettones, alongside adorable reindeer, Christmas tree and gingerbread cookies.
But, let’s not get distracted from the galore of sweet treats and bakes. Eye-catching and delectable, must-try creations include the Drummer Boy Pinata ($118), consisting of a fondant Nutcracker and his handcrafted chocolate harlequin drum filled with chocolate coated orange peels; Saint Nicholas Christmas ($12), which features chocolate mousse and Morello cherry and kirsch compote atop a pistachio financier; and Le Sapin ($12), an almond tart comprising layers of compote, whiskey mousse, and a matcha and sweet potato swirl.
Meanwhile, traditionalists can bag home classics like stollen, pull-apart bread, chestnut bread, as well as panettone in decadent flavours such as yuzu gianduja and hazelnut praline. Origin + Bloom’s festive treats are available for pre-orders from now till 22 December 2025 (with self-collection by 25 December), so head online or in-store to snag them!
4. Bring the celebration home
Want to skip the kitchen chaos? The effortless takeaway collections from Yardbird and Rise will let you breathe easy. Head to the latter to pick up a show-stopping dinner table centrepiece, with the option of a 6kg roasted turkey with juicy meat, or a 4kg honey baked ham glazed in a garlic-honey marinate.
Over at Yardbird, the Holiday Box takeaway menu is available for pre-orders from now till 22 December 2025 (with self-collection from 24 to 28 December). Get the all-inclusive Christmas Box ($168), featuring sliced turkey, butternut stuffing corn muffins, creamy mashed potatoes, turkey gravy cream corn, green beans almandine and coleslaw.
We can’t forget about a sweet ending to the feast. Add the whole pumpkin pie and whole pecan pie for $58; or get them a la carte at $68 for both. Between the pumpkin pie topped with luscious chantilly cream and cinnamon, and flaky pecan pie with caramelised pecan, it’s tough to predict which dessert your guests will polish off first.
‘Tis the season of gifting, so of course, we’ve to talk about gifts. Cast your eyes on the exquisite hampers from Origin + Bloom that are poised to impress. Brighten your giftee’s mood with the Holiday Treat hamper ($108), a thoughtful package with a bottle of Duval-Leroy Brut Reserve, an indulgent chocolate bar, as well as classic treats like a stollen and gingerbread men.
