Christmas season is here.

And you know it because Orchard Road is decked out in lights.

From Nov. 16, 2019 to Jan. 1, 2020, the street will feature various festive decorations along three major zones: Tanglin, Orchard, and Somerset.

This year's theme is "The Greatest Gift", and each precinct will offer a different and unique experience, featuring little Santas on baubles, gift boxes or snowflakes, and more.

Here's a first look at what you can expect:

1) Tanglin

Enjoy a series of activities at Tanglin mall such as carolling performances, craft workshops and the ever-popular snow foam experience from now till Jan. 1, 2020.

In addition, visitors will be able to take photos of the gigantic Christmas tree as well as a red and gold archway outside the mall for festivity's sake.
