This festive season, Orchard Central (OC) transformed itself into a magical Dreamland. Orchard Central recently won is Best Dressed Building 2014 (Voters’ Choice), awarded by the Orchard Road Business Association. This category was newly created for 2014. In the previous three years, OC bagged the Overall Winner in Best Dressed Building contest for three consecutive years.

It is hence no surprise that Orchard Central is poised to delight with outstanding glitter and magic with the OC Christmas Dreamland.

Spread over approximately 3,600 square feet of space around and within the mall, the OC Christmas Dreamland brings one into a fairytale-like landscape where shoppers are greeted by a galore of whimsical fairies,unicorns and elves cheekily dressed as trees, all set against a lush greenery backdrop of Orchard Road in the day and a starry-lit mythical forest by night. The highlight of its all is an 8-metre tall rotating Christmas tree located on the ground floor.

There are lots of places for photo opportunities within OC. My son Asher love the unicorns and ran around, trying to spot all of them to take photo with.
