You no longer have to travel to cold winter countries to ice skate under the moonlight at VivoCity's Viesta! The New York Edition 2018, the mall's inaugural year-end event, has an outdoor skating rink as part of their Christmas celebrations.

The largest skating rink in Singapore will be here for a limited time only, from Dec. 7 to Dec. 25.

The synthetic skating rink measures 35 metres by 10 metres and is located at VivoCity's outdoor plaza:

In the middle of the skating rink is an 8 metre-tall Christmas tree where people can skate around it.

There are daily themed nights from 7pm onwards, playing songs from different genres:

• Movie Mondays
