Limited Mr. Bucket Chocolaterie giveaways, a crash course in CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) and a Spin & Win wheel are coming to Christmas Together this November, and walking in costs nothing. The COG10 Travelling Showcase sets up in Hall F at Sands Expo & Convention Centre, and Christmas Together opens to the public from 27 to 29 November 2026. That makes it an easy detour on a festive shopping afternoon with the kids, or with friends who’ll happily queue for free chocolate.
So What Is COG10?
COG10 stands for the Company of Good 10th Anniversary. Company of Good is a programme run by the National Volunteer and Philanthropy Centre (NVPC), and it turns 10 in 2026. The idea is simple: businesses that do good for their workers and communities earn a Company of Good Recognition Mark, graded from one to three Hearts, with Champion of Good as the top tier.
This year, NVPC recognised 481 companies: 63 Champions of Good, 113 three-Heart, 128 two-Heart and 177 one-Heart recipients. That brings the total to 1,046 Companies of Good to date. NVPC chief executive Tony Soh described the goal as growing the “profit with purpose” movement by getting recognised companies to “inspire and catalyse positive action across the business community and in the wider society”.
The travelling exhibition is part of Great Singapore Give 2026, NVPC’s nationwide giving season.
Quizzes, Spins and Sticker Sets
Every visit starts with the same basics. Visitors learn to spot the Recognition Mark, then test what they’ve picked up in a knowledge quiz and take a turn on the Spin & Win game. That last one is where the goodies come in.
Giveaways include Mr. Bucket Chocolaterie treats and sticker sets from Allegro Print, and NVPC describes them as limited. If the kids have their hearts set on chocolate, get there earlier in the day rather than drifting over after dinner.
Friday: Coffee Grounds and Empathy
The line-up changes halfway through, so pick the day based on who you want to see. NVPC lists the first group for 26 and 27 November, and since Christmas Together opens its doors to the public on Friday, 27 November, that’s the day to catch them.
Sarika Gourmet Coffee (2025 Champion of Good) brings coffee samples and upcycled products made from used coffee grounds with The Sustainability Project (2026, one Heart), including coasters, scrubs and mini cups. Tetra Pak (2026 Champion of Good) explains how its cartons get recycled and why sorting them properly matters. Sodexo Singapore (2024 Champion of Good) covers how its Stop Hunger non-profit fights food insecurity through emergency relief, food assistance and employee volunteering.
The two worth planning around are Social Gifting and Cimelia Resource Recovery. Social Gifting (2024 Champion of Good) runs craft-making sessions using sensory and mobility simulations, so you work with your hands while experiencing some of the limitations that seniors and people with health conditions live with. That’s a rare kind of empathy exercise, and it’ll stick with a teenager far longer than a poster would. Cimelia (2026, three Hearts) traces the journey of tech waste with videos and displays of components at different stages, which finally answers where does my old phone go?
The Weekend: CPR, VR and Room Spray
From Saturday, 28 November to Sunday, 29 November, a fresh group takes over. Four of the five activities raise funds for Singapore Red Cross Young Hearts, the same cause Christmas Together supports, so bring a card or some cash in case you’re asked to chip in.
Re Sustainability (2026 Champion of Good) runs a virtual reality (VR) experience on public cleanliness alongside a 3R (reduce, reuse, recycle) game. Candlescape Foundation (2026, two Hearts) hosts a workshop where you make a crystal room spray. QB House (2026 Champion of Good) has a series of 10-minute challenge games, with QB House vouchers up for grabs.
The weekend’s standout is Jade Life & Wellness (2025, two Hearts), which teaches practical CPR skills alongside quizzes on mental and physical well-being. It’s a skill nobody hopes to use, and having it on a Saturday at a Christmas fair is about as low-pressure as learning it gets. For something lighter, The Art People (2025, one Heart) offers an AI (artificial intelligence) robot self-portrait, which is the kind of souvenir that ends up on someone’s fridge.
Christmas Together, Briefly
Christmas Together is organised by Sustainable Markets SG. Its listings bill it as a 70,000 sq ft Christmas village with more than 150 brands, 50 performances and 40 workshops, plus Santa’s Post Office, a Kindness Bear House, a Village Carnival and the KIDSforKIDS young entrepreneurs’ market. The listings give opening hours of 10am to 9pm daily.
Entry is free with registration, and Christmas Together’s listings ask adults to register in advance for a Village Pass through its registration page. Children under 18 reportedly don’t need a separate registration. Free entry doesn’t make everything free, though: some workshops, bookable experiences, food and purchases cost extra.
That still compares well with ticketed options. If you’re mapping out the rest of the season, our running list of Christmas in Singapore 2026 events with confirmed dates has the light-ups and markets.
