A dedicated photo podium will also be available at the Main Arch over Orchard Road, in front of ION Orchard.
Two Great Christmas Villages

A key highlight is the Kiztopia Christmas Carnival, bringing festive fun to life with a vibrant mix of rides, games, and photo-worthy moments with beloved Kiztopia characters.
Families can look forward to attractions such as the six-seater Holiday Carousel, Raby & Tiger’s Christmas Bounce (a 17m by 8m inflatable castle), Bell’s Ferris Wheel, and Turbo Twisters, featuring a series of futuristic LED ride-ons that spin, glide, and light up the arena.
There will also be a new Christmas Market section at the Ngee Ann City Civic Plaza Great Christmas Market with over 10 F&B and retail booths offering seasonal treats and trinkets.
The market showcases wooden cottages, traditional garlands, and iconic Christmas wreaths. Visitors can also explore the interactive “Santa House” presented by Hitachi, designed to evoke warmth and nostalgia with its fireplace setting, creating a cosy atmosphere that enhances the overall festive experience.
For a festive tipple, head over to the bar by homegrown Singaporean craft beer brand Sunbird Brewing Company and enjoy the live house performances, or head to the lounge area on the upper level to soak in the festive atmosphere.
Over at Shaw House Urban Plaze, the Great Christmas Village returns from 8 November to 4 January 2026.
