It will continue to be held at the Bayfront event area.
Early bird tickets for the event are now available.
Event space increased, new attractions
This year's iteration, named "Winter Wonderland", will be held at a larger scale from the previous editions.

More crowd control measures for this year's run
The Ice Magic festival is the biggest pop-up winter attraction to have made its way to Singapore.
However, visitors previously experienced long wait times of up to three hours, when the festival ran in December 2022.
In response, the organisers apologised and implemented measures to stagger entry for visitors.
The festival was also brought back in Jan. 2023 due to popular demand.
As such, there will be additional crowd control measures put in place for the Ice Magic: Winter Wonderland event.
A limited number of visitors will be allowed in for each session.
Visitors are also encouraged to book their desired timeslots early to avoid disappointment.
