Guests can explore Glowcean Wonderland at Singapore Oceanarium, enjoy A Universal Christmas at Universal Studios Singapore, experience K-pop activities at Adventure Cove Waterpark, and discover festive displays and entertainment at WEAVE.

Families and friends will have many ways to celebrate together, with more surprises to come,” said Ms Lena Lee, Executive Vice President, Attractions & Destination Experience, Resorts World Sentosa.
Seven Colours, Thousands of Wishes, One Christmas
