Great World Christmas 2026: Santa Pass Costs and the Best Dates to Go

7 November 2026 · Updated 10 November 2026

Santa, puppet shows and festive workshops are coming to Great World’s Level 1 Atrium. Choose your date by the performance, not the overall campaign: Nutcracker Wonderland runs 13 November 2026–3 January 2027, but the published activity timetable ends on 27 December.

Santa photos: it is not simply a S$5 ticket

You need Great Rewards membership, a single same-day qualifying receipt of S$30, then S$5 or 500 Great Rewards points to redeem the pass. Supermarket receipts require S$60 spending.

Bring the original receipt for verification at the Level 1 Atrium. One redemption covers one meet-and-greet/photo session, subject to availability. If you already plan to eat or shop there, check receipt eligibility first; buying something solely for the pass makes it a much more expensive photo.

Save the actual Santa dates and times

  • 5–6pm: 14–15 November; 5–6 and 19–20 December.
  • 6–7pm: 21–22 November and 12–13 December.
  • Noon–1pm: 24–25 December.

Each hour combines storytelling and a photo session. The detailed timetable does not list Santa on 28–29 November, despite the campaign summary saying every weekend. Plan from the dated rows rather than assuming a weekly slot.

Which date would we pick?

19 December for puppet fans: puppet show 2–2.45pm, ballet 4–5pm, then Santa 5–6pm. Use the gap for food rather than waiting in the atrium.

20 December for a sing-along: children’s sing-along 2–3pm, magic 4–4.45pm, Santa 5–6pm.

Christmas Eve or Day for an earlier finish: noon Santa leaves the evening free for family plans.

Add a workshop only if that is your child’s thing

Slime workshops are listed at S$15 per session on 14, 15, 21 and 22 November, noon–2pm. The parent-child Christmas Scene in Lights workshop runs 3–5pm on 5, 6 and 26 December; its price is not stated in the timetable.

Check the provider’s booking and age requirements before choosing a workshop. For a relaxed afternoon, one show and one activity are plenty. Browse our Singapore Christmas guide for other dates and venues.
