Hi Huneybees,

From 17th November 2012 to 1st January 2013, Singapore Flyer transformed its premises to a Christmas Village where we can all enter into a world where wishes are fulfilled and a dazzling spectacle of more than 3 million LED Christmas lights awaits!

It's become a tradition at Singapore Flyer every year as it rise its Christmas tree to be the tallest in Singapore. Standing at a mammoth 83m, the addition of Santa Claus and his sleigh adds a new touch to this year's display.

This year with the addition of a million dollar project - The Christmas Village, Singapore Flyer will definitely set the mood for all visitors and Santa Claus is definitely here in town!

In the village, not only would you get to visit the Christmas wonderland, you can also shop and play with Santa! Approximately 2,000,000 LED lights were used to create this village and it's definitely not to be missed!

See how much you can explore in the village?! There's a Santa's Workshop, Panda Visiting Corner, Rudolph A-Frolicking etc...

First stop, Santa's Workshop! I got to talk to Santa Claus and hug him!!! #LikeAKid

Santa gave me a little Panda bear! Yeah!

And on the other side of Santa's Workshop, me and hubby were lead to a little secret garden beyond where a huge Christmas Tree stands for us to take non-stop photos!!!

Write a letter to Santa at the cozy fireplace corner. I bet your wishes will come true! Hehehe...

And don't forget to drop the letter in the mailbox before you leave!

Now, I know you can't wait to visit the village. Keep yous eyes on the lookout as you might find cute little elfs, reindeers and of course pandas and polar bears amidst the brightly lit-ed enclosure!

Pandas hiding in the bushes behind the sleigh...

Santa! Bring me to the top of Singapore Flyer!
