Soak In The Festive Spirit At Christmas Wonderland 2024

Deck the halls for the festive season is barrelling to us at full speed! Restaurants and attractions throughout Singapore have started donning their Christmas fits and Gardens By The Bay is no exception. Returning for its 11th edition, Christmas Wonderland is here from 29 November 2024 to 1 January 2025 and ready to enthral you with all its offerings. We talked about it last year and now we’ll talk about it again!

Highly anticipated every Christmas season, Christmas Wonderland presents a whole new array of experiences that play with lights, sound and multimedia, promising to send your senses singing. Presented by Trip.com and organised by Blue Sky Events, visitors can revel in the ‘snowfall’ in sunny Singapore, under the shine of thousands of twinkling lights. 

Whether you’re going for the mesmerising photo-ops, nostalgic carnival rides and games or delectable Yuletide eats, you’re guaranteed to have a holly jolly good time!

Highlights

What an intricate display!

When talking about Christmas Wonderland, you can’t not talk about the iconic Spalliera! This glistening installation stands at a looming 20-metres, the height of four adult giraffes. Meticulously designed, it was inspired by Italian Gothic architecture and handmade by artisans from Puglia in South Italy. Experience ‘snowfall’ during Blizzard Time with this stunning display, accompanied by an original soundtrack – Magic of Christmas – by Singaporean composer-conductor Dr. Darius Lim. 

Of course, there’s more than one light installation. From reindeer to gift boxes, be spoilt for choice as you wander through the Supertree Grove. Marvel at the glow emanating from the seemingly endless structures as the night is set alight. Snap pictures at the larger-than-life display of the Merry Bears, a trio of cuddly bears or crane your head upwards and spot the 5-metre-tall Santa Claus hanging out among the Supertrees. 

It’s like being surrounded by multicoloured stars

Step onto Merry Lane presented by Trip.com and be taken away to another world in Walk Of Lights. This vortex of everchanging lights will make time stop, as though opening a private little pocket of space. Follow the prancing bulbs and venture further down this tunnel. You’ll be met with Odette’s Dance, an ode to the classic ballet, Swan Lake. In an enchanting fusion of media, watch as elegant swans flap across the walls and demure ballerinas leap across the stage. 

If you’re there for these dazzling displays of lights, then you might as well stay for the Garden Rhapsody light and sound show! Watch as the bulbs draped around the Supertrees come to life, dancing to the tunes of beloved Christmas classics and leaving behind a breathtaking afterglow. Beyond just this light and sound show, bask in the Christmas spirit through this year’s line-up. From festive flash mobs to choral performances, you’ll be in a cheery headspace all night long. And who knows? You might spot your favourite local artists too!

Get those calories back after you burn them!

Okay, okay, enough about what to see, ‘cause my stomach is grumbling! Exploring the Supertree Grove decked out in Christmas decor sure calls for a break. And everything tastes better when you’re starving! I wonder what Yuletide treats Christmas Wonderland will have in store? 

From Mexican to Japanese, whatever you’re craving you’ll get it. With multiple food stalls interspersed throughout the event area, dine under the sparkling lights and merry melodies of Christmas. A meal with a side of being serenaded? Sign me up!

Food aside, a meal isn’t complete without a drink! Regardless of whether you’re in need of a shot of caffeine, craving some sweet boba or looking to get a little buzzed with Butterbeer, an extra refreshing beverage is crucial to continue your Christmas exploration! So down that drink and resume your journey throughout this festive paradise. 

You can’t miss these huts!

It can’t exactly be a wonderland without some games and rides, right? Scattered throughout the space are several games and rides where you can let your inner child out! Go wild at classic games like the Ring Toss and ride on a magnificent steed at the Carousel. I must warn you though, these rides do cost a little extra. 

If you’re more for shopping, then check out Mistletoe Alley. Lined with vibrant huts and friendly elves, pick up a little something for your loved ones. Curious as to whether your favourite vendors are participating? Check the website for the whole list!

And finally, wrap your night up by visiting Santa over at Santa’s Village. Honestly, you can’t possibly miss the opportunity. When else could you snap a photo with Father Christmas in his home?
