In a hot, tropical country like Singapore, the closest we get to Christmas weather is rain. But if you’re looking to experience a little bit of that Christmas snow, albeit with some artificial magic, you don’t have to look far.
In fact, you might even get snowfall near you, depending on where you live. Read on to see where you can experience a little simulated winter in Singapore this Christmas season.
Free entry
1. VivoCity’s Christmas Candyland
Make your way to Harbourfront because there is a Christmas Candyland awaiting you at VivoCity. From now to 28 Dec, you can explore a colourful land of sweets and Christmas wonder at the Outdoor Plaza, where fun memories will be made.
Snowfall occurs every Tue to Sun, at 7.30pm and 8.30pm. Prepare to take lots of photos and be early so you won’t miss those magical moments.

2. Tanglin Mall’s Snow Splendours
We all know that Orchard Road is the de facto centre of Christmas celebrations in Singapore during this period. But while the Orchard Road area reminds me of malls like Ion Orchard, Wisma Atria and TANGS, I must admit that Tanglin Mall was not even on my radar.
This is why I was surprised to discover that this mall actually hosts some of the most exciting snowfall events in Singapore. Called ‘Snow Splendours’, the snowfall at Tanglin Mall has 2 variants — ‘Snow’ and ‘Avalanche’. As the name suggests, the latter is a more intense, foamy version that kids will absolutely love.
‘Snow Splendours’ is held every night at multiple time slots until 1 Jan. Refer below for more information.
Avalanche
- Mon to Fri: 7.30pm
- Sat & Sun: 7.30pm & 8.30pm
Snow
- Mon to Fri: 7.45pm
- Sat & Sun: 7.45pm & 8.45pm

3. Ngee Ann City Civic Plaza
By now, you should already know about The Great Christmas Villages at Orchard Road, so I will not elaborate further on that. But in case you missed it, Snowfall Shows happen daily at the Ngee Ann City Civic Plaza, right where the Mastercard Christmas Tree is.
There are 2 time slots when this happens — 8pm and 9pm, so if you’re in the area, drop by for a glimpse of a white Christmas in Singapore.

4. Capitol Singapore’s Snowfall Spectacle
Over in the City Hall area, you can also experience snowfall at Capitol Singapore. Just look for the gigantic Capitol Singapore Singing Tree, where a Snowfall Spectacle will occur every night until 28 Dec.
Snow will fall for 10 minutes with 30-minute intervals in between, from 7pm to 9pm. Make sure to be in the area within these time frames so that you can catch some snowflakes and capture some nice shots.

5. CHIJMES’s Snowfall Spectacle
The same magic of Christmas snow can also be found at the nearby CHIJMES! Similar to the Snowfall Spectacle at Capitol Singapore, this event takes place from 7pm to 9pm every night for 10 minutes, every 30 minutes. However, the one at CHIJMES will run slightly longer till 31 Dec.
If you want to, you could even catch both Snowfall Spectacles on the same night by watching it at one location first and then taking a nice, slow walk to the other.
