Still to be announced (and when they ran in 2025)

None of these organisers had posted confirmed 2026 dates by 15 October. Here is what they did last year, from their own pages:

Orchard Road light-up: lit up on 8 November 2025 and ran to 1 January 2026.
Great Christmas Village, Ngee Ann City: ran 9 November 2025 to 1 January 2026, with snowfall shows at 8pm and 9pm.
Christmas Wonderland, Gardens by the Bay: ran 29 November 2025 to 1 January 2026, 6.30pm to 11pm. Our 2025 highlights post has what it looked like.
Togetherland, Bayfront Event Space: ran 11 December 2025 to 4 January 2026. See our Togetherland 2025 recap.
Jewel Changi: its 2025 festive season ran 5 November 2025 to 4 January 2026.
Mandai: Festive Wild-erland ran 15 November 2025 to 4 January 2026.

If 2026 follows 2025, Orchard Road would light up in early November, but nothing is confirmed. We will add dates here when organisers post them.

Christmas Day long weekend

Christmas Day is Friday 25 December 2026, so you get a three-day weekend from 25 to 27 December. It also falls inside the year-end school holidays, which run 21 November to 31 December. Plans for the full six weeks are in our school holidays guide.

Grand Hyatt's halal-certified StraitsKitchen has posted its festive sessions: 24 December, 6pm to 9.30pm, and 25 December, 12pm to 2.30pm and 6pm to 9.30pm. It has not posted festive prices.
