This December, Universal Studios Singapore (USS) at Resorts World Sentosa (RWS) is set to illuminate the holiday season with its annual Santa’s All-Star Christmas celebration. It will transform Universal Studios Singapore into an enchanted wonderland with snowfall, fireworks, festive light displays, as well as new musical performances and appearances by the park’s very own all-star cast decked out in their Christmas outfits.

The title was presented to Universal Studios Singapore on 17 November 2016 which is Guinness World Records Day, a global celebration of record-breaking that takes place every November. Illuminated with a world record-breaking 824,961 light bulbs, The Universal Journey took two months to complete and marked the second Guinness World Records achievement for Universal Studios Singapore this year in 2016.
This year’s centerpiece showcase is the visually spectacular and dazzling Universal Journey where visitors will venture through eight thematic zones and be whisked away on an adventure through the universe, traversing wormholes and time warp tunnels to other worldly locations and eventually arriving on earth.
Along the journey, visitors can marvel at the spiral topiaries and towering trees of the Enchanted Pine Forest, the quaint town of Herald’s Square and the Land of Great Gifts which is adorned with larger-than-life Christmas presents.
In addition to the Universal Journey, this year’s edition includes two new experiences: Santa’s Village and a music-filled show titled Bah Humbug! A Christmas Spectacular.
Visitors can explore the picturesque Santa’s Village to relive their fondest childhood memories. Bustling with activities and interactive stations, the quaint village is home to talking reindeer, the Gingerbread Man, the shoemaker at his giant shoe house, and Santa on his sleigh, ready to meet and greet visitors.
Ringing in the Christmas cheer is a brand-new production titled Bah Humbug! A Christmas Spectacular that will showcase 17 all-star cast in one musical extravaganza. Philanthropist-turned-budding director Ebenezer Scrooge is calling in popular characters such as the Minions, Little Match Girl, Snow Queen and Sesame Street friends who will delight audiences with magical song and dance moments at the Pantages Hollywood Theater.
Over at the Lagoon Stage in the Hollywood zone, visitors can tune in to DJ Eddy Elf’s Christmas Radio Station and take part in wacky games such as CAROL-OKE and the Candy Cane Limbo Rock to win prizes.

I just found about this event, and I was amazed to encounter my christmas sphere design right there, with the rest of the light gifts in ‘The land of the great gifts’ i made that design back in 2013 for ‘Villa Iluminada’ in Mexico.
