Christmas Wonderland returns to Gardens by the Bay from 27 November 2026 to 3 January 2027. Its 13th edition hands visitors a job as one of Santa’s helpers inside a new 450sqm Santa Mission Control. Ticket prices vary by night, so check the date bands at christmaswonderland.sg before you book.
The fair is organised by Blue Sky Events and presented by Trip.com. The organisers call it Singapore’s biggest yuletide festival, spread over more than 30,000sqm with over 40 attractions. Blue Sky Events says it has drawn some 5.4 million visitors since its 2014 debut, including more than 310,000 in 2025 alone, so don’t expect the snow to yourself.
Santa Now Has a Corner Office
This year the fair’s answer is to put you to work. Our 2024 look at Christmas Wonderland covers the previous edition.
Inside Santa Mission Control, the route takes in woodworking and gift-wrapping stations, then a command centre that oversees Santa’s delivery operations worldwide. Father Christmas holds meet-and-greets in an executive office decked out by CMC Markets Singapore, the event’s Official Fintech Partner. In a city full of CBD (central business district) workers, Santa getting a proper office is a very relatable upgrade!
This is the one to plan your night around. Most of the fair is for wandering, while Mission Control is a walk-through, hands-on attraction, and it is one of the all-new additions alongside the Elf Treehouse, Grab Holiday Village and Solace Studios’ photo booths.
A Treehouse Among the Supertrees
The other big newcomer is the Elf Treehouse, a 20-metre-tall digital mixed-media installation set among the Supertrees.
If your camera roll is the real reason you’re going, Solace Studios is the sleeper pick. It’s bringing its Korean-style self-photobooth experience to Christmas Wonderland for the first time, with eight Christmas-themed rooms such as ‘Phone Booth to North Pole’, ‘Gift Room’ and ‘Gingerbread Shop’. Between shoots, the light displays include Merry Lane by Trip.com, Snowball Lane and Jingle Grove.
Flying Santa Gets an Origin Story
Flying Santa, presented by CMC Markets, returns with a prelude called Santa’s First Flight, which follows a toy-maker’s journey to becoming Santa. The organisers have added more flight sessions due to popular demand.
The Spalliera is back as well, a six-storey, 20-metre-tall luminarie handcrafted by one of Italy’s oldest artisan families. It hosts Blizzard Time, when flurries of artificial snow fall over Supertree Grove. One catch applies to both shows: they are subject to weather conditions, so a rainy night can change your plans.
The programme runs to more than 180 hours of performances. That includes choral sessions, a dance performance, mascot appearances, the Garden Rhapsody light and sound show, and local singers.
Kids, Pets and Churros
Families with a dog in tow should head for the Grab Holiday Village, a family and pet-friendly space themed “Take a Holiday from the Holidays!”. It has drinks at the Grab Holiday Lodge, the Chill Out Snowglobe for photos and a Wishing Christmas Tree to try your luck at. Over at the CMC Meadow Lodge, visitors can write a wish for beneficiaries of Kidz Horizon Appeal at the CMC Postal Service and join the elves for games and sweet treats.
For gifts and snacks, there’s a build-a-bear vending machine by TinkerBox and food-inspired novelty gifts by Kids21 at Mistletoe Alley. Food and beverage (F&B) stalls include Birds of Paradise, Churros Republic and SOHTT.
Booking
Ticket prices depend on the night, so check the date bands at christmaswonderland.sg before you book.
Tickets go on sale on 11 November 2026 at 11am.
There’s a reason to book ahead: same-day tickets are subject to availability, so on a busy night there may be none left to buy.
Visitors attending between 27 November and 10 December get Merry Deals coupons worth up to S$50, first come, first served. They cover perks from complimentary carnival games and rides to discounts at participating lifestyle booths, plus activities that unlock a free gift from Trip.com.
What Your Ticket Doesn’t Cover
Carnival games and rides cost extra, and so do the OCBC Skyway, Supertree Observatory, Floral Fantasy and the Gardens by the Bay conservatories.
Grab, the Official Transport and Dining partner, takes 10% off at participating F&B vendors when you pay with Grab Dine Out. It’s offering 15% off pet-friendly, family-friendly and Premium rides with a pick-up or drop-off point at Gardens by the Bay during the event period.
If you’re travelling with kids or a pet, the 15% rate is the one that fits. GrabMaps can guide you to the fair and around it, including to the rides and food booths.
