Christmas Wonderland at Gardens by the Bay is back for its 12th edition, and this year’s festival is set to be the biggest yet. Running from 29 November 2025 to 1 January 2026, the expanded fairground brings together dazzling light displays, festive performances, and immersive experiences — making it a popular year-end outing for families, including those with pets.
A Festive Walk for Pet Parents
With an expanded 30,000-square-metre fairground, Christmas Wonderland offers plenty of space for leisurely strolls, making it an appealing option for pet parents who enjoy outdoor festive experiences. The illuminated walkways, themed zones, and open-air setting create a visually engaging environment for both humans and their furry companions.
Signature highlights such as Snowflake Avenue, Gingerbread Walk, and the iconic Spalliera light display provide picturesque backdrops — perfect for festive photos during an evening walk.
Festive Highlights to Look Out For
This year introduces several first-ever attractions in Singapore, adding extra excitement to the festive season:
- Flying Santa soaring across The Meadow up to four times daily
- Singapore’s first Christmas Pyramid, a 16-metre-tall rotating structure inspired by German Christmas markets
- Reindeer Town, an immersive pavilion featuring Santa’s meet-and-greet and a cheerful reindeer quartet
These experiences add to the lively atmosphere that makes Christmas Wonderland a memorable year-end outing.
Food, Shopping & Family Fun
Beyond the lights and performances, visitors can enjoy festive dining options, carnival games, rides, and shopping at Mistletoe Alley, where unique gifts and keepsakes await. Family-friendly zones and daily performances add to the festive buzz throughout the fairground.
