2. A Universal Christmas @ Universal Studios Singapore

Universal Studios Singapore Turns Into a Jolly Holiday Wonderland!

Ready to jingle all the way? Universal Studios Singapore has kicked off its “A Universal Christmas” celebration, running from today all the way through January 2, 2022. That’s right—the fun is early, so you can ditch the New Year’s resolution about couch‑surfing and start making memories instead.

All Aboard the Rockin’ Railway Train!

Hop onto the train and feel the holiday vibes pop. Each car’s decked with hand‑crafted Christmas trees that pay homage to blockbuster favorites:

  • Jurassic World’s bone‑shaped ornaments
  • Shrek’s swamp‑y pine
  • Minions’ sunny‑yellow garlands

All you need to do is binge the ride and picture the scenery—silvia or dinosaur‑themed vibes, who’d trade that for a real-life version?

Turn heads when you spot beloved characters sporting their finest holiday attire. From:

  • Shrek and Princess Fiona in their festive best
  • Oscar and Cookie Monster on sale at Sesame Street’s winter wonderland
  • Gru, Lucy, Edith, Agnes, and Margo ganging up from Despicable Me

Elmo and Abby are calling the shots in Sesame Street’s “Dear Santa” station. Kids can jot their wishes, drop them into the North Pole Postal Service, and then marvel as Santa’s elves toss them into a giant mailbox ready for delivery. It’s like a real‑life “write to Santa” game—online sighs not required!

Festive Market Frolic

Say hello to Universal Studios Singapore’s inaugural Festive Market. With eight sparkling pop‑up shops, the market is a treasure trove of:

  • Unique retail finds you won’t spot anywhere else
  • Hand‑crafted goodies from Le Matin Patisserie and Indocin
  • Delicious juices, smoothies, and other decadent treats

It’s the perfect spot for a last‑minute gift or a ‘self‑pamper’ snack, so come early before the line starts whisking you away.

When It Ends

All of this merry magic is happening until January 2, 2022. If you’re looking to make the most of the season, don’t wait—plan your trip and harvest the festive spirit while it’s hot (or at least cool enough to survive the tropical climate).

3. New, Great and Happy: The Amusement “Worlds” of Singapore

Step Back in Time: Singapore’s Lost Amusement “Worlds” Come Alive

Ever wondered what Singapore’s amusement parks looked like before the era of giant theme‑park chains? The National Museum of Singapore has pulled out the big guns and created an exhibit that brings the New, Great, and Happy Worlds to life—yes, the very parks that once tickled kids’ imaginations and now are nothing but history.

Why These Parks Matter

  • A New World attraction in the 1950s that could rival any today‑day VR experience.
  • A Great World that rubbed shoulders with the local workforce and families alike.
  • A Happy World (later Gay World in 1964), a nostalgic hotspot that sealed the hearts of generations.

Each of these places disappeared after a brief but glorious run, but the museum’s exhibit is here to keep the fun alive. Get your curious brain gang ready for a journey filled with fascinating stories and anecdotes.

Live Re‑Creation: Uncle Ringo’s Mini Amusement Park

Hold onto your seats because the Stamford Gallery doesn’t stop at the old photo‑jams. Take a spin on classic carnival rides and games brought to you by veteran Uncle Ringo! He’s the hero behind the “real” mini amusement park that’s almost too good to be real.

  • Roller coaster nostalgia all the way round.
  • Game booths that pop with prizes.
  • And baby‑friendly rides for the little ones.

Make sure you pre‑book tickets—this little playground fills up fast like a dessert platter at a family reunion.

When It’s Open

Events run from December 4, 2021 to January 9, 2022. Grab your family keys, don’t miss the opportunity, and let the past mingle with the present for a truly unforgettable trip.
