World Christmas Market 2025 returns to Bayfront Event Space
The World Christmas Market (WCM) is back this December 2025, and is bigger and brighter than before. Themed Togetherland, the 2025 edition runs from 11 December 2025 to 4 January 2026 at the Bayfront Event Space—twice the size of last year’s fair.
This year’s event features nine experiential zones, each inspired by one of Santa’s reindeer, combining global flavours, creative showcases, and community-driven experiences. Foodies can explore Dasher’s Festive Feast, offering themed bites and holiday cocktails, while Prancer’s Star Bazaar will showcase a curated selection of artisanal gifts and social enterprise creations.
As for food and drinks, you’ll find more than 40 stalls here to check out. A returning favourite is Rollney, famous for its ice cream spin on Hungarian kurtos—cone-shaped pastries traditionally dusted with walnut and sugar. Don’t miss the Kunafa Pistachio ($12.90), where creamy gelato pairs perfectly with crunchy kunafa for a delightful mix of textures.
For something savoury, drop by D’s Hood on Wheels. They’re known for their Egg Dough Fritters—you tiao with an egg filling—which you can pair with a Wagyu Hamburger Steak for $18. The steak was a little overdone, but we do think the egg you tiao made for a nice snack.
Rosti Haus caught our eye for its unique takes on the classic Swiss dish. Unfortunately, the Salted Egg Rosti ($10) was disappointing—the rosti itself was straight up soggy, and the salted egg was nothing more than a powdery coating.
If you’d like a heartier dish, check out Mizo King Kebab. Their Chicken Wrap ($8) comes generously packed with juicy, smoky chicken and vegetables. The stall also offers Kebab Rice (from $10), Quesadillas (from $11), and other filling options.
Indulge in some seafood at Slurp Your Oysters. They’ve got Chilled (from $15) and Grilled Oysters ($16) with toppings such as mango salsa, Thai chilli, cheese, and mentaiko.
That’s not all: Candy Cane Lane, one of last year’s most popular attractions, has made a comeback for 2025. The illuminated walkway, lined with towering candy canes and real Christmas trees, has photo booths and scenic setups, ensuring plenty of festive photo ops.
World Christmas Market will only run from 11 December 2025 to 4 January 2026, head down when you can to soak in the vibes!
