This year marks its 40th edition. The theme: a child's imagination.
Here's what it looks like.
Candy clouds
The decorations mimic a "cotton candy cloud dreamscape", with pastel LED clouds amid seasonal motifs like candy canes, Christmas trees, and reindeer.

In the name of sustainability, the light-up also includes LED lights and decor from past years.
Solar panels have also been installed for two Christmas set pieces, said the Orchard Road Business Association in a press release.
