Sofitel Singapore City Centre on Wallich Street has rolled out A Season Aglow, a festive line-up of eight dining and takeaway options that runs through 31 December 2026. If your group chat is already fighting over where to do the year-end dinner, this is a December 2026 menu built for splurging, sharing and photographing.
The list reads less like a hotel brochure and more like someone’s food bucket list. It includes a foie gras Mont Blanc, champagne with lychee popping boba, Boston Lobster at Christmas and log cakes you can carry home. Here are the picks worth planning around, plus where everything else fits.
Afternoon Tea, Savoury Side Up
Start with the 1864 Festive Afternoon Tea, which is the item most likely to end up on your Instagram story. The hotel’s announcement lists Caviar and Snow Crab Rillettes, Foie Gras Mont Blanc and Sea Urchin & Cauliflower Royale among the savouries, followed by an assortment of sweet creations.
That Mont Blanc deserves a second look. The name usually belongs to a chestnut-cream dessert, so moving it onto the savoury tier as a foie gras dish is the kind of twist that makes people at the next table lean over and ask what you ordered. Foie gras keeps turning up in Singapore tea sets, too, and when DANAMIC covered the InterContinental Singapore’s Honey Tea Set in 2025, the bottom tier opened on Foie Gras and Duck Rillettes on brioche. Sofitel’s caviar, snow crab and sea urchin line-up pushes the indulgence a notch further.
This is our first pick. It’s the most distinctive thing on the list, and an afternoon slot is easier to wrangle a friend group into than a late December dinner.
Boba, but Make It Pommery
Over at 1864, there are three seasonal cocktails and mocktails. The headliner pairs Pommery Champagne with lychee popping boba, which sounds like a bubble tea run and a toast had a very fancy baby.
For anyone skipping alcohol, the trio includes a refreshing alcohol-free berry fizz, so the designated driver gets a seasonal glass that isn’t plain soda water. Pair the boba champagne with the afternoon tea and you have the most screenshot-ready table of the month!
An All-You-Can-Eat Straits Spread
Our second pick is the Racines Festive À La Carte Dinner Buffet. À la carte is French for “from the menu,” and the hotel describes this as an all-you-can-eat experience celebrating Straits heritage cuisine.
The dishes it names are familiar to anyone who grew up here. There’s Ngoh Hiang, the five-spice meat roll wrapped in beancurd skin, plus Nyonya Assam Curry Snapper, a sour-spicy tamarind fish curry, and Angus Beef Cheek Rendang, a slow-cooked coconut and spice curry. For overseas readers, “Straits” points to the Peranakan and Malay cooking of the Straits Settlements, which included Singapore. That puts this buffet in different territory from the usual hotel roast-and-carvery Christmas spread, and it’s the one to book if your ah ma-approved comfort food matters more to you than another turkey.
If a full dinner feels like too much commitment, there are two lighter routes into Racines. The Racines Festive Set Lunch offers a choice of two- or three-course menus, running from Winter Truffle Chicken Soup to that same Angus Beef Cheek Rendang. The Racines Festive Saturday Brunch covers weekends with freshly shucked oysters, seafood, traditional roasts and Christmas desserts.
Lobster at Christmas, Roasts at Year End
Our third pick goes to the big-occasion crowd. The Christmas Eve and Christmas Day buffets on 24 and 25 December 2026 list Boston Lobster, freshly shucked oysters, traditional roast turkey, roasted ribeye and classic Christmas puddings. That’s the full festive checklist in one sitting, so it suits families or friends who want a proper sit-down celebration over an experimental one.
Then there’s the New Year’s Eve Buffet on 31 December 2026. The hotel lists slow-roasted Angus beef, roasted salmon and Beef Cheek Bourguignon, followed by an array of desserts to enjoy before midnight. It’s a sensible plan for anyone who wants a big dinner first and still has time to make it to wherever they’re counting down.
Log Cakes for the Ride Home
Hosting at home instead? The Festive Takeaways let you skip the oven entirely. The line-up covers signature log cakes, traditional roasted turkey and a Champagne-glazed Kurobuta pork ham, along with festive accompaniments for the table.
Kurobuta is the Japanese name for Berkshire pork, which is prized for its marbling. A glazed ham like that on your dining table does most of the “I tried really hard” work for you, which is exactly what a host wants in the last week of the year.
Where and How to Book
Prices, seating times and booking terms for each offering are listed on the hotel’s A Season Aglow page. Check them before you rally the group, because the dates around Christmas and New Year’s Eve are the ones people book first.
