We all know Singapore’s sweltering heat isn’t exactly the most Christmassy, and yes, magical European Christmas markets just a direct flight away sound dreamy. But Christmas isn’t about the destination; it’s about spending time with the people you love. So for those staying put this year, there’s something to get excited about: the World Christmas Market is coming back bigger and better.
Titled Togetherland, the market will run a whopping 25 days from 11th December 2025 to 4th January 2026 – more than enough time for you to soak up the festive cheer.

For starters, the 2025 edition will be moving to a new home at the Bayfront Event Space beside The Shoppes @ MBS, which spans a massive ~20,000sqm – that’s double the size of last year’s venue at The Promontory.
And if you thought last year’s 21-day festival was long enough, this year, it’s stretching 25 days, running all the way into January 2026. This means you’ll get to ring in the New Year at the festival as well.
The festival will be spreading its magic across 9 festive zones, inspired by Santa’s 9 reindeer. While we’re still waiting for all the details, here’s what’s been revealed so far.

Shoppers will love Prancer’s Star Bazaar, a marketplace with vendors selling artisanal gifts so you can cross off your Christmas shopping list in one go.
There’ll also be Comet’s Global Market, where you’ll get to shop and sample international flavours, from cheeses and wines to chocolates and festive bakes.

If you dropped by the festival last year, you’ll be happy to hear that Candy Cane Lane is making a comeback. The stretch lined with glowing candy canes and real Christmas trees will return – this time even bigger, with more photo ops scattered around.

And of course, Santa himself will be around for photos, so better start practising your best pose.
For something a little more meaningful, make your way to Donner’s Heartlight Haven, where the focus is on sustainability and community. You’ll get to connect with partner charities and social enterprises here, all in the spirit of giving back this Christmas.
If your December calendar is already starting to fill up, make sure this event is right at the top. After all, it’s a one-stop spot where you can eat, shop, and pretend you’re in a European Christmas market, all without freezing your toes off.
