We’ve all spotted whimsical Christmas decorations at pretty much every single mall in Singapore. However, none come as close to being as pretty in pink as Orchard Central’s Christmas pop-up, featuring a “train station” decked out in more pink than Regina George’s wardrobe.
And yes, it’s another Xmas light up, but you still won’t want to miss it. It’ll only be around from now till 26th December 2021!

Orchard Central’s Christmas decor has always stood out with stunning themes over the years, such as its “Frozen Wonderland” back in 2018. This year, hop on board on their locomotive-inspired pop-up to commemorate the idea of travel – something we all miss dearly.

It’s no Polar Express, but you’ll still have the magical experience of stepping into a world of photo ops with bronze railings, “train” seats and a roof of hanging baubles. Everything is flushed in gazillion shades of pink, so wear something to match your backdrop if you’re coming here specifically for the ‘gram.
We’ll tell ya, Stylenanda is quaking.

The make-believe station is complete with a mini departure sign coupled with a pink analog clock. And nearby, you’ll also spot Orchard Central’s outdoor escalator, cleverly repurposed to look like a baggage collection belt bringing in boxes of gifts.

Head on into the mall itself to continue the illusion that you’re on a journey to a rosy fantasyland. Inside, you’ll find pretty murals and a large Christmas tree and a bellboy birdcage that might remind Wes Anderson fans of The Grand Budapest Hotel.
