Christmas in Singapore started early this year: by mid-November, Orchard Road was lit up and several parades were scheduled. Now, everybody's looking forward to the New Year countdown at Marina Bay!

This year, Singapore is lighting up Christmas with a candy theme: "A Sweet Christmas in Singapore" decorates Orchard Road and Marina Bay with the illuminated adventures of "the Sweet Family".

Orchard Road Tangs is hosting even bigger Christmas festivities, with Christmas carolers every weekend. And malls around the island at Bugis, Marina or Orchard -- you name it -- are all made-up with Christmas trees and lights and feature live musical shows and late-night shopping during the season.
