It’s that time of the year again. Prepping for Christmas feasts and enthusiastically looking for the perfect gifts for your loved ones? You can trust us, Orchard Road is definitely worth a visit! With tons of festive activities laid out by Orchard Road Business Association (ORBA) and ION Orchard, there is certainly something for everyone.
The Tiffany & Co. Christmas Tree
Titled ‘Season of Resplendence’ – ION Orchard aspires to evoke the wonders of Christmas joy with their shoppers.
To do that, they have spruced up the mall with a series of activities and promotions just for you.
A major project this year is the partnership between ION Orchard and Tiffany & Co.. Together, they have created an enthralling walk-in Christmas tree for their shoppers throughout this beautiful season!
Standing at 20 meters tall – right outside Tiffany & Co., the glamorous structure features over 2,000 custom-designed ornaments including the famous Tiffany Blue Boxes.
Here’s what our ambassador, Nicole, had to say about the Xmas tree!
After a magical experience at the photo-booth, guests can collect their photos at the Tiffany & Co. duplex located at Level 1.
Likewise, you can share a video of that special moment with your friends on social media.
Right next to the glamorous Christmas tree is an illuminated Christmas labyrinth decorated with glittering-ornaments, a larger-than-life reindeer centrepiece, toy soldiers and other festive ornaments.
Step into this fantasy maze and find yourself immersed into the magic of a wonderful fairytale. What a perfect spot for your holiday photos!
On the Streets of Orchard Road
Our famous shopping street is transformed into a glamorous galaxy, adorned with glowing reindeers, shimmering stars, and other celebratory elements that turn it into a Christmas spectacle.
Spanning over a distance of 2.88 kilometres from Tanglin Mall all the way to Plaza Singapura, it is certainly going to be a sight.

The Light-Up Period takes place at the following times of the day:
- 630pm – 600am on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve;
- 630pm–200am on Fridays and Saturdays; and
- Except as stated above, 630pm – 1200midnight on Mondays to Thursdays and on Sundays

Furthermore, song requests from a pre-selected list of Christmas favourites are accepted on weekends. Now you can truly immerse yourselves into the magic of the season.
