The weeks leading to Christmas feel different compared to the rest of the year in Singapore. We might not have a white Christmas, but the country definitely slows down – school’s out, the weather gets chillier, and everyone starts planning their vacations. 

At City Square Mall, Christmas 2016 will be welcomed with special treats from the latest sporting equipment to delectable meals as ultimate gifts for your loved ones. With over 200 offerings under one roof and a slew of festivities lined up for the season, don’t say we bojio.

In Singapore, we only have 2 types of weather: scorching tropical heat or torrential flood-bringing rain. So having an atmosphere cooler than 20 degrees is out of the question, let alone seeing snow. But for those of you waiting for your first snowfall, you can find it at City Square Mall’s Snowfall Playtime.

Whether you’re an adult or kid, Snowfall Playtime is bound to evoke a sense of wonder in you. Let the festive lights speak for themselves as you celebrate this season of giving. Act fast – there are only 2 sessions* per day, subject to weather conditions, at 8pm and 9pm from now till 1st January.

If you’re not too keen on a backdrop of white snow, switch it up with the 8-metres tall Dora The Explorer Magical Christmas tree, adorned with twinkling fairy lights, snowflakes and 8 life-sized characters from Dora The Explorer – Dora, Boots, Backpack, Diego, Swiper, Benny, Isa and Tico. 

You’ll even get to meet Dora and Boots, Gil and Molly from Bubble Guppies, as well as Chase and Marshall from PAW Patrol as they go on a journey to deliver a Christmas gift to Santa, from 3 – 18 December 2016 (daily except Mondays).

 

2. Frolick in an outdoor playground and get ferried around in a mini train!

If neighbourhood playgrounds no longer excite your kids, try visiting the playground at City Green, a massive 49,000 square feet urban park that’s wheelchair-friendly and perfect for kiddos (or kiddos-at-heart) who like to go wild at playgrounds. Plus, hop on the Choo Choo City Express mini train for a fun ride around the park!
