Forget jetting to another country for a white Christmas. Have a tropical one right at the heart of the city. Capitol Singapore and CHIJMES are decking the halls with the usual suspects – bright lights, colourful tinsel and shiny baubles – this festive season. But that's not all – from now until Christmas Eve, the iconic buildings are spreading the yuletide cheer with a Christmas market, a massive singing tree and an ice skating rink.
Follow the scent of chilled mulled wine and whet your appetite with gorgeously decorated panettone, log cakes and stollen bread at the European-inspired Christmas Market featuring over 50 booths selling giftable wares. Take a break with some festive fun like carnival games and the Capitol Kempinski Skating Rink where you can channel your inner Michelle Kwan and create figure eights under the stars. The evening becomes even more magical when the three-storey-high Capitol Kempinski Singing Tree comes to life to belt out all your favourite Christmas tunes from 7.30pm to 9pm.
