December brings one of the most anticipated events of the year: Christmas. And as with any other major festival celebrated in Singapore, Christmas is the perfect excuse for us to come together and bond over food.

But there’s no real need for you to wrangle with your cooking utensils in the kitchen. Simply dine in or order takeaways using your DBS/POSB card from any one of the 10 hotels in this list below, and you’ll get to enjoy discounts of up to 25% off your total bill.

This treat is made even sweeter, as it’s currently priced at 25% off.
