Resorts World Sentosa Celebrates Christmas
Resorts World Sentosa is once again bringing back the Christmas cheer with month-long celebrations and festivities.
There’s something for everyone in the family this jolly season. First up is ‘Snowy Christmas at Santa’s Land’, as Universal Studios Singapore showcases Singapore’s biggest snowfall – with three of its themed zones, namely Hollywood, New York and Sci-Fi City experiencing magical snow. The theme park will also be decked out in tinsel and holly and its operating hours extended until 9pm. Characters in the park including Elmo and friends from Sesame Street, the Minions from DESPICABLE ME, Puss In Boots and many more will also be decked out in Christmas outfits during meet and greet sessions.
Also, taking centre stage at the theme park is a Christmas tree made entirely of plush toys at the New York Public Library. This is also where several of the new shows will be staged. In Santa’s Toy Soldiers, toy soldiers will come to life as they march to the beat of the drums. This show takes place twice every evening. Not to be missed is also the annual Dancing Christmas Light Show at the library steps, as well as a new video-mapping show – Winter Tales – on its façade this year. Both shows will each take place three times nightly. Other shows include the back by popular demand Christmas-themed Sesame Street show – Sesame Street Saves Christmas, as it returns with a bigger stage for more magical moments at Pantages Hollywood Theater. Telling an original Christmas tale, the Sesame Street gang helps Santa and his elves keep Christmas out of harm’s way.
To complete the Christmas experience, guests can choose to stay in the park for a Christmas feast complete with festive goodies like turkey and traditional sweets at Santa’s Kitchen. For the first time, Sound Stage 28 will be transformed into a festive dining hall serving up a delectable Christmas dinner buffet with a special appearance by Christmas characters.
Ending the magical night of festivities with a bang, the Christmas Fireworks Spectacular is set to light up the night with new music and pyrotechnics. Happening every Friday and Saturday for the month of December and with an additional show on Christmas Day, this night-time spectacular is not to be missed.
Admission to Universal Studios Singapore during the holiday season will be priced at S$84 for adults, S$64 for children and S$46 for seniors. Guests will be able to enjoy the extended park hours, and also a special Christmas set meal voucher included in the admission ticket.
