Every Christmas, Singaporeans collectively fantasize about the sky glittering with specks of ice crystals, decking the halls with boughs of holly, skating on a frozen lake, and romantic celebrations under the mistletoe.
Here’s the good news – our fantasies are not as divorced from reality as we think. From now till 25 December, VivoCity is hosting its inaugural year-end event dubbed Viesta! The New York Edition 2018 – Skate Under The Moonlight. The event features a slew of fun activities for both young and old, with the highlight of them all – a 350sqm outdoor synthetic skating rink to ensure you don’t miss out on the joy of winter frolicking.
Yes, VivoCity has heard the nation’s collective FOMO on casual winter activities and have decided to come to our rescue. Inspired by the iconic rink at the Rockefeller Centre in New York, VivoCity has transformed their Outdoor Plaza into a winter wonderland under a canopy of dazzling lights.

Merry tunes will delight your ears as you gracefully glide around the rink with your loved ones.
Be treated to different music genres and exciting lights from 7pm daily.
On Movie Mondays, listen out for beloved movie soundtracks that will be sure to stir up feelings of nostalgia, like Armageddon’s “I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing”. Kpop fans can skate and dance to their favourite BTS or Twice’s songs on Kpop Tuesdays.
Themed skate nights from 7pm daily
You can even put on your skates and groove to special themed nights!
Christmas is rife with Santa meet and greets, but it’s only in VivoCity’s Skate Under the Moonlight Event where you actually get to skate with the man himself. On 24 and 25 December, join Santa Claus and his friends on the rink and enjoy sweet treats!
You can even take selfies with Santa, his Santarinas and elves – just whip out your phones and say cheese! Don’t forget to give Santa a shoutout with the hashtag #viestaskating and #vivoskating on your IG.
Besides transporting you to New York with its outdoor skating rink, Viesta! The New York Edition 2018 – Skate Under The Moonlight also invites you to be a wide-eyed spectator of the enormous and stunning display of festive lights laced around the 8m-tall Christmas tree. The tree stands right smack in the middle of the rink so go ahead and coast around it!
If your interest is piqued and you can’t wait to snag a ticket for your family and friends, save yourself the hassle by purchasing your admission tickets online from vivoskating.peatix.com.
And if you think that’s all, think again. On Friday, 21 December 2018, VivoCity is extending their opening hours past midnight, which means more time to enjoy the lights and glide around the rink like the ice prince/princess that you are.
More than 100 stores in the mall will be up and running till 2am, so you can check off all the items on your shopping list or chill around for an extra cup of coffee with your buddies. Friyay!
The jingle bells are ringing and beckoning you to VivoCity for shopping, dining, and plenty of outdoor fun. Gather all your loved ones and head down to VivoCity to enjoy a ballin’ Christmas celebration on the rink.
