Christmas lights will fully adorn Orchard Road from Nov. 8, 2025.
This year's SG60 celebration and communal spirit theme features Merli, the Singapore Tourism Board's (STB) mascot.
It will also feature a soft colour palette of gold, rose gold, and silvery white, complete with ribbon swirls and festive lights.
These decorations will adorn a 3.1km stretch of Orchard Road, from Tanglin to Dhoby Ghaut.
Visitors can look out for photo installations:
- Trishaw led by reindeer
- Miniature version of the main arch with Merli
- Giant festive wreath
- Toa Payoh dragon playground motif
There will also be a photo podium at the main arch at Orchard Road, near ION Orchard.
Like past years, visitors can expect a festival village.
This year's will include a Kiztopia Christmas Carnival with new games and rides, food and beverage options, as well as other shopping experiences.
A 14m-tall Christmas tree can be found near Ngee Ann City Civic Plaza, complete with snowfall shows at 8pm and 9pm nightly.
