Christmas without twinkly lights and sparkly decorations is like a New Year’s celebration without fireworks. In Singapore, Christmas is a rather grand affair, with streets already adorned with glittering decor and lights even before the crowds hit the stores (think mid-November!) for gift-shopping. So don’t let the year-end stress cast a shadow on your festive spirit. While we wait in anticipation for Phase 3, you can also look forward to taking a stroll down these places, which are bound to put a smile on your face!
Where to see Christmas lights in Singapore
Orchard Road
From 13 Nov
This year, the iconic Christmas light-up will be quieter than usual, without the street festivities you’ve come to expect from the shopping stretch (thanks, Covid!). Still, you can look forward to catching a glimpse of snowflakes, mistletoe and holly from mid-November. The street will feature almost 50km of LED string lights, as well as festive trees and baubles, so you can admire it all while you stroll or drive down the road.
Plus, keep an eye out for the 14m main arch embellished with reindeer and ribbons at the junction of Orchard Road and Paterson Road. Oh, and if you want to enjoy the view from home, check out the 360-degree views on a virtual tour from Tanglin Mall to Plaza Singapura.
Malls around the city
We’ve already started seeing festive decor pop up at department stores, and malls are not far behind. 2020 may not be the best year ever, but we can still celebrate the year-end merriment in style. Just embark on a mall-hop adventure to immerse yourself in festive vibes with all the Christmas lights in Singapore. Think giant Christmas trees, colourful baubles, glowing lights and more.
Psst: We’ll be adding in more places to see Christmas lights in Singapore as information comes in, so keep an eye out for updates!
