From hanging out with your favorite characters to catching a circus show, find out how you can have a memorable holiday season at Singapore’s theme park.
Many of us may have spent the last couple of Christmases here at home. Now that traveling has become much easier this year, it’s probably the best time to do something different. We suggest hopping on a plane and celebrating the holidays at Universal Studios Singapore.
While it’s fair to say that this popular theme park on Sentosa Island is a year-round hotspot, Christmas always brings a different vibe and excitement to Universal Studios Singapore—the park is awash in more glittering lights, uplifting carols can be heard from the speakers, and everyone is in a merrymaking mood. Not to mention all the top thrilling rides, such as Revenge of the Mummy and TRANSFORMERS The Ride: The Ultimate 3D Battle, that will take your festive holidays up a notch during the year-end season.
Here are four things you can do at Universal Studios Singapore to get into the Christmas spirit.

Christmas is the most magical time of the year, and here at Universal Studios, you can watch the magic unfold at the grand parade, which goes through the New York zone. It’s been two years since the parade last marched down these streets, so the show will definitely be bigger than ever! A wondrous array of performers, led by Ringmaster Santa, will wow you with spectacular yuletide numbers—under breathtaking snowfall.
Have your phone always ready because you’ll surely encounter your favorite characters from DreamWorks Animation. Imagine dancing around with Shrek, taking loads of selfies with Puss in Boots, and practicing kung fu moves with Po from Kung Fu Panda. Also, be on the lookout for Gingy the Gingerbread Man, who will be dressed in an all-new look for Christmas.
Mince pies and custard, gingerbread, and mulled wine—all of these are just a few Christmas staples that you can enjoy at Universal Studios Singapore. Pop into one of the park’s bustling restaurants and cafés, or stop by one of the snack carts to indulge in these delicious treats.
Wrap up an exciting day with even more exciting pursuits! This holiday season, Universal Studios Singapore is hosting Santa’s Circus Extravaganza, where you can watch the parade participants perform more thrilling acts. There’s also Santa’s Starlets at the Mel’s Diner stage, where you can sing along to catchy Christmas tunes, and marvel at Ruby’s Christmas ribbon manipulation and the festive flames of Farrah.
