Christmas Wonderland is returning to Gardens by the Bay from 27 November 2026 to 3 January 2027, bringing a fresh line-up of festive attractions, immersive experiences and seasonal entertainment for its 13th edition.
Presented by Trip.com and organised by Blue Sky Events, Singapore’s biggest yuletide festival will cover more than 30,000sqm with over 40 attractions. New highlights include a 450sqm Santa Mission Control experience, a 20-metre-tall Elf Treehouse, the Grab Holiday Village and Korean-style festive photo booths by Solace Studios.
Visitors can also look forward to familiar Christmas Wonderland favourites, including dazzling light displays, magical snowfall, carnival rides, festive markets and live performances.
One of this year’s main attractions is Santa Mission Control, brought to life through a giant display measuring 30 metres wide and 8.5 metres high. Visitors can step into the 450sqm immersive experience and take on the role of Santa’s helpers, exploring different parts of his gift factory. These include woodworking and gift-wrapping stations, as well as a command centre overseeing worldwide gift deliveries.
Father Christmas will also be available for meet-and-greet sessions at his executive office, specially decorated by CMC Markets Singapore, the event’s Official Fintech Partner.
The popular Flying Santa spectacle will return with an enhanced show. Presented by CMC Markets, the experience begins with Santa’s First Flight, a prelude following a toy-maker’s journey to becoming Santa, before Santa and his reindeer take to the night sky. Additional flight sessions have been introduced following strong demand.
Another new installation is the Elf Treehouse, a 20-metre-tall digital mixed-media display nestled among the Supertrees. The installation offers a look into the festive homes of elves and woodland creatures as they decorate their treehouse for Christmas, providing another backdrop for visitors to take photos.
At the CMC Meadow Lodge, visitors can mark CMC Markets Singapore’s 20th anniversary of connecting Singaporeans to global markets, now as a multi-asset provider. The space will feature the CMC Postal Service, where visitors can write Christmas wishes for beneficiaries of Kidz Horizon Appeal. Elves will also host games, sweet treats and interactive activities.
Families and pet owners can spend time at the Grab Holiday Village, themed “Take a Holiday from the Holidays!”. The family and pet-friendly space will offer activities, games and opportunities to win prizes. Visitors can relax with drinks at the Grab Holiday Lodge, take photos inside the Chill Out Snowglobe or make a wish at the Wishing Christmas Tree.
For the first time, Solace Studios will bring its Korean-style self-photo booth experience to the festival. Visitors can choose from eight Christmas-themed rooms featuring the studio’s signature camera angles and photography styles. The themed spaces include Phone Booth to North Pole, Gift Room and Gingerbread Shop.
The fairground will also feature a range of illuminated displays, including Merry Lane by Trip.com, Snowball Lane and Jingle Grove.
Among the returning highlights is the iconic Spalliera, a six-storey luminarie standing 20 metres tall and handcrafted by one of Italy’s oldest artisan families. The installation remains a centrepiece of Christmas Wonderland and serves as the setting for Blizzard Time, when artificial snow flurries transform the Supertree Grove into a festive winter scene.
Entertainment will feature more than 180 hours of performances throughout the event. The programme includes choral sessions, dance showcases, mascot appearances, the Garden Rhapsody light and sound show, and performances by local singers.
Families can also enjoy carnival games and rides, while the festival’s food and shopping offerings will include seasonal treats, gifts and novelty items. Visitors can try the Build-a-Bear vending machine by TinkerBox or browse food-inspired novelty gifts from Kids21 at Mistletoe Alley. Food and beverage options will include Birds of Paradise, Churros Republic and SOHTT.
Grab, the event’s Official Transport and Dining Partner, will offer several promotions during Christmas Wonderland.
