Where To See Snow (And Soak Up The Magic) In Singapore This Christmas

Singapore may be sitting firmly on the equator, but that doesn’t stop us from chasing a little winter magic. Every festive season, the city transforms into a wonderland of twinkling lights, carols, carnival rides and (believe it or not) snow.

This year’s lineup of Christmas events is bigger, brighter and cooler than ever, from flurries under the Supertrees to glowing markets and Santa meet-and-greets. Whether you’re looking for the best places to see snow in Singapore or simply want to feel that Christmas sparkle, here’s where to head this holiday season.

Tanglin Mall is getting into the Christmas spirit with the return of its much-loved Snow Splendours, bringing nightly snowfall to the heart of Singapore. Running for 51 days, the complimentary experience sees snow fall outdoors from 7.30pm to 8pm every evening, with an additional session from 8.30pm to 9pm on weekends and public holidays. It's a festive little escape for families looking to experience a touch of winter without leaving the tropics.

There’s plenty more to make an evening of it, too. This year's Holiday Express: A Magical Journey transforms the mall's outdoor spaces into a Christmas playground, complete with Santa's Express train rides, an inflatable play area, traditional carnival games and a miniature Christmas village. Six weekends of festive markets will also bring independent local brands, handcrafted gifts and artisanal treats to the mix, alongside Christmas carols, live entertainment and family-friendly activities.
