Event Highlights: Christmas Magic Awaits

1. Spalliera + Blizzard Time: A Winter Wonderland in the Tropics

One of the main attractions at Christmas Wonderland 2024 is the stunning Spalliera light display. Standing at a towering 20 metres, this Italian Gothic-inspired structure is a jaw-dropping sight on its own.

Handcrafted by artisans from southern Italy, the Spalliera creates the perfect backdrop for Blizzard Time – a surreal experience where “snowfall” falls gently over the Gardens.

This magical snow moment, set to the choral music of Singaporean composer Dr. Darius Lim, takes place every day after the Garden Rhapsody light and sound show. It’s the ultimate festive photo op, and if you’re lucky, you might even catch a snowflake or two!

2. Stunning Light Displays and Immersive Experiences

For those looking for unique photo opportunities, the Merry Bears at the Lawn are hard to miss. These giant, merry bears make for a perfect festive backdrop. And if you’re in the mood for a whimsical walk, head over to Bluebell Lane, where an Enchanted Forest awaits. With Merry Lane’s Walk of Lights Tunnel and a tribute to Swan Lake, these enchanting displays create a truly magical atmosphere.
