Christmas is approaching, and Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel Singapore is getting ready for the festive season with a line-up of Christmas buffets, afternoon tea, gourmet takeaway roasts, festive hampers and special celebrations by the Singapore River.

Under its A Season to Sparkle campaign, the hotel is offering plenty of ways to celebrate, whether you are planning a family gathering, a Christmas date or simply looking for festive treats to enjoy at home.

At Food Capital, guests can look forward to a festive buffet featuring traditional Christmas favourites such as roasted turkey with cranberry sauce, slow-roasted beef striploin, roasted lamb leg and fresh seafood on ice. There will also be Japanese sashimi, the restaurant’s signature laksa and Asian-inspired creations, alongside Christmas Yule Logs, puddings and seasonal desserts.

The regular festive buffet runs from 2 November to 23 December 2026 and 26 December 2026 to 1 January 2027, excluding selected festive dates. Lunch starts from S$72++ per adult, while dinner starts from S$106++ per adult from Sunday to Thursday and S$116++ on Fridays and Saturdays.

For Christmas Eve and Christmas Day on 24 and 25 December, Food Capital will offer more elaborate celebratory buffets featuring Irish oysters, snow crab legs, mini baby lobsters and half a Boston lobster per guest. Other highlights include Australian beef prime ribs, traditional roasted turkey, whole gammon ham, lobster bisque, Singapore chilli crab and roasted tandoori turkey.

The festive buffet is priced at S$108++ per adult for lunch and S$128++ for dinner. Christmas Eve dinner has two seatings, from 5pm to 7.30pm and 8pm to 10pm. New Year’s Eve dinner is also priced at S$128++ per adult, while lunch on 31 December and 1 January 2027 costs S$98++ per adult.

Those looking for a quieter celebration can head to Riverside Terrace for Christmas Magic for Two. Available on Christmas Eve, 24 December, from 6pm to 9pm, the alfresco dining experience features a four-course dinner priced at S$236++ per couple.

The menu includes a choice of smoked duck terrine or heirloom tomato carpaccio, followed by butternut pumpkin soup or lobster bisque. For the main course, diners can choose between slow-roasted turkey and salmon confit. Dessert is a Mini Bûche de Noël Guanaja featuring 70% chocolate crémeux and winter berries. Advance reservations are recommended due to limited seating.

For afternoon gatherings, The Lobby Lounge will serve a Festive Afternoon Tea from 2 November to 31 December 2026. The selection includes salmon roulade with Avruga caviar, turkey and cranberry burrito, Boursin cheese with apple and raisin, raspberry snow choux, tiramisu log cake and peppermint macarons. Freshly baked mixed fruit and buttermilk scones complete the set, which starts from S$96++ for two. MyMillennium members enjoy 10% off.

If you prefer celebrating at home, the hotel has an extensive selection of festive takeaways. Its Grand Copthorne Waterfront Roasted Turkey, weighing 6kg and serving 10 to 12 people, is priced at S$188+. It comes with traditional giblet gravy, citrus cranberry sauce and chestnut stuffing.

Other options include the Ginseng and Gochujang Lacquered Turkey at S$268+, featuring royal glutinous rice and chestnut stuffing with red wine reduction infused with Korean ginseng.

An early bird promotion offers 20% off festive takeaway orders from 1 to 30 November 2026, followed by 10% off selected items from 1 to 18 December 2026. The December discount does not apply to turkey purchases. Orders must be placed at least three days in advance, with 22 December being the last order date.

Beyond dining and gifting, the hotel will also bring some Christmas cheer to its lobby with carolling performances and Santa Claus appearances on selected dates between 19 and 25 December.

For those welcoming 2027 in Singapore, a New Year’s Eve countdown party will take place from 10pm to 1am, featuring live music by Maia Lee, a Singapore Idol Season 1 finalist, lucky draw prizes, festive bites and drinks. Tickets start from S$38++ for the non-alcohol package for in-house guests and Food Capital diners.

The hotel has also introduced a festive stay package for those who want to turn their Christmas celebrations into a short getaway. Guests can enjoy a complimentary upgrade to a Premier Room, subject to availability, a pair of tickets to Christmas Wonderland at Gardens by the Bay, a bottle of Prosecco Rosé or a Christmas Log Cake, festive room decorations, dining privileges and a limited-edition festive otter plushie. The package is available for stays from 28 November 2026 to 15 January 2027, with bookings open until 14 January 2027.

We were also recently treated to a lovely festive gift set from the Grand Copthorne Waterfront team, which gave us an early taste of the hotel’s Christmas offerings.

The thoughtful package included a limited-edition festive otter plushie, a mini Christmas Log Cake, a pack of Christmas cookies, a Brew Your Own Masala Chai Tea Set and an exclusive Grand Copthorne Waterfront x Luli Singapore festive tea blend.

It was a lovely collection of seasonal treats and gifts, and a nice way to get into the Christmas spirit ahead of the celebrations. A big thank you to the Grand Copthorne Waterfront team for thinking of us and sending over this festive surprise.
