Ring in the festive cheer this December as Christmas Wonderland celebrates a decade of wonder as it returns to Gardens by the Bay from 1st December 2023 to 1st January 2024. Presented by Trip.com, the 10th edition of Singapore’s biggest yuletide fair features a supersized fairground with a sensational array of light displays, new carnival rides and more festive activities.

With more than 27,000 square metres to cover, this year’s enlarged fairground comprises three magical zones: Supertree Grove, Frosty’s Fairground at The Meadow, and Gingerbread Grove. You can admire 15 stunning light displays, soak in the holiday cheer with a multi-sensory experience complete with ‘snow’ in the tropics, hop onto new carnival rides, have a go at carnival games, meet Santa Claus, dine on festive fare, catch live performances by local artistes and lots more! See Annex B for more attraction details.

1. SPALLIERA

Taking centre stage at the heart of Supertree Grove is Christmas Wonderland’s main showpiece, the Spalliera. With a design inspired by Mesola Castle in north Italy’s province of Ferrara, this magnificent Italian handcrafted light display is lit by 103,000 bulbs and stands majestically at 20 meters tall – roughly the height of five double-decker buses. Mesola Castle is unique for its four towers that are positioned 45 degrees from the main building, giving the castle a distinct architectural shape. This feature is replicated in the design of the Spalliera.

2. GARDEN RHAPSODY & BLIZZARD TIME

Against the backdrop of the Spalliera, get spellbound during the Garden Rhapsody light and sound show, as the lights on the iconic Supertrees ‘dance’ to favourite Christmas classics. This will be followed by Blizzard Time with a wonderful experience of ‘snow’ in the tropics.
*Daily shows at 7.45pm, 8.45pm, and 9.35pm.

3. LIGHT DISPLAYS

Fresh from a magical voyage and docked at Christmas Wonderland for the holiday season is the Holly Roger ship with its crew of merry pirate elves. Illuminated by approximately 127,000 bulbs, this brand-new 24-metre-long whimsical light display is a sight to behold. 

More new captivating light displays can be found at Merry Lane presented by Trip.com, with installations such as giant snowflakes and Santa’s boot that will make quirky backdrops for your outfit of the day (OOTD).

4. WALK OF LIGHTS

With its kaleidoscopic installation of approximately 75,000 programmable LED lights strung across a 65-meter-long tunnel, this year’s edition of the Walk of Lights presented by CDG Zig is the longest ever. Be mesmerized by the myriad of colours from its programmable LED lights and be sure to have your camera ready for those IG-worthy shots.

There are also festive tipples at the whimsical Christmas-cracker-themed bar by Hendrick’s Gin and a Brewerkz craft beer bar featuring its festive Gingerbread Amber Lager.

8 Instagram Worthy Spots For Christmas Photography Before They Get Taken Down

| |
Hi Huneybees,


This Queen Bee has been sleeping whole day for Christmas parties are tiring to prepare. Soooo tiring that I've gone off the grid and haven't been able to update for days. This post was suppose to be up to usher in Christmas but hey! I hope this can still make it when everyone's out for Boxing Day shopping! :)

Singapore is always dressed up for occasions and for Christmas, we are definitely lighted up in the most amazing way to celebrate with every mall is always upping their game to be the most beautiful in town. We know there's the Swarovski crystal Christmas tree at ION Orchard and the yearly "snowing" at Tanglin Mall, but there are places that not everyone knows...

So, here's a few of my hidden gems recommendation, so you can grab gorgeous Christmas photos before they change for Chinese New Year! :)


1) FORUM The Shopping Mall

Known as the kids' Wonderland, the mall has definitely made every little girl gleamed with joy as they ride in their very own lighted carriage pulled by a beautiful unicorn. All donned in blue, this makes a great background to have you standing out in that red outfit.


Even inside the mall, makes a good OOTD spot. :D
2) Hilton Singapore Hotel


It's more of the D9 Cakery within the hotel premise. Not only do they have these delectable cakes and pastries in snow globes as well as Christmas ready, there's also this Gingerbread castle that's not only a scene that must be captured, but also smells super fragrant that I wana bite into!



3) Wheelock Place


A place definitely for the Le Petit Prince fans, fly on the red plane within Wheelock Place and you can travel to Planet B-612 to meet The Little Prince himself! :)


4)  Shaw House

 

After seeing Katy Perry's MV for the H&M Christmas campaign, don't you just want to be part of the Christmas decorations?! Well, be a life size Christmas ornament in a present and send this pic to the significant other?

5) Orchard Gateway


♫ Do you wanna build a snowman? Come on lets go and play 
Need I say more about this Christmas decoration right outside Orchard Gateway's entrance? Better come in your best Frozen frock for this scene!


6) Orchard Central

Right next door at Orchard Central, is what I would imagine Christmas Wonderland in North Pole to be like. The outdoor candy cane swing makes and amazing place for couple shots and don't forget to pop inside for the reindeer carousel too! :)


And now, for some away from hustle and bustle Orchard Road recommendations too!

7) Suntec City


Well, you can also go under and look into a Christmas Tree, here at Suntec City North Wing! Make friends with a couple of nut cracking soldiers whilst you shop in this new revamped mall! :)


8) AMK Hub


This is really in the heartlands at Ang Mo Kio. Right at the entrance, you are greeted by these amazing number of Nutcrackers, each uniquely crafted and it makes a good backdrop for you to pretend as one and ask your friends to do a "Where's Wally" style photo hunt!
