With Christmas light-ups in full swing, throngs of people are swarming to town for the countless photo-ops lined up. But we’re telling you that there’s no need to jostle the crowds to get into the festive spirit.
This year, Jem is bringing the magic closer to the heartlands with their Wonderland-themed Christmas displays. From a massive 12m-tall tree and magical neon mushrooms to tons of holiday deals, here’s what you can expect at Jem this Christmas.
Just a stone throws away from the MRT sits the centrepiece of the enchanting display: A 12m-tall Christmas tree, covered in jewel-toned baubles all over.
Follow the white rabbit and take a step through the twinkle-lit archways, pass through the massive tree’s hollow and be transported into a colourful fairytale land. Here, you’ll feel like you’ve just drunk a shrinking potion as you wander through the giant garden of magical neon-coloured mushrooms and spherical hedges that line the pathway.

Visit in the evenings and experience the Christmas magic in full force, with twinkle lights bathing the entire landscape in a warm romantic glow.
The fun continues even as you enter the mall. Dangled by fairy lights, whimsical bunnies, snowglobe ‘bubbles’, and top hats float between the levels – so don’t forget to admire the scenery while doing your Christmas shopping rounds.

Make it a family date and drop by during the weekends to take part in the craft workshops happening all throughout the month of December. Just present your receipt with a minimum spending of $30 to the crew at L1 Jem Atrium and you and the kids will get to make their very own Wonderland crafts to take home.
The workshops cover cuddly felt Christmas ornaments, adorable pom-pom bunny masks and even a bunny visor for those hot sunny days.
Older ones, fret not! You too can take a piece of the action home with the plethora of promos and deals ranging from delectable delights to pampering beauty bundles.
Retailer promos include 25% off holiday scents at Yankee Candle, 20% early bird specials at Polar Puffs & Cakes and a whole ‘lotta luxury beauty brand deals with freebies like sequined pouches from M.A.C. and a mini-sized lipstick from Estee Lauder, all at Robinsons.
