Light up the holidays with festive shopping experiences at Marina Bay Sands

Marina Bay Sands transformed into a resplendent Christmas wonderland last evening, following a grand unveiling of its property light-up and a resounding burst of confetti. For the first time, the resort has teamed up with Dior Beauty for its annual Christmas Light-up to mark the start of the holiday season.

Held at the Grand Colonnade South of The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands, The Christmas Light-up was graced by Ms Pia Wurtzbach, 2015 Miss Universe, Friend of Marina Bay Sands and Dior.

The evening was capped off with the unveiling of a stunning 11-metre-tall tree crowned by Monsieur Dior’s lucky star, an emblem of the House, beneath a canopy of 14 garden-inspired floral trees floating in the heart of the mall.

The Inspo

Inspired by the gates of Les Tuileries Garden and designed by Italian visual artist Pietro Ruffo, the installation also features a magical carousel where Dior Beauty’s iconic fragrances are presented as larger-than-life sculptures or nestled in coffrets that open like musical boxes.

Christmas Cheer

The evening’s celebration welcomed the public to witness a brilliant display combining lights, performances, and an ensemble starring Christmas characters like gingerbread men, nutcrackers, and ballerinas. The resort embraced its signature festive charm as lights were illuminated and snow-like confetti rained upon the audience.

Australian singer David Campbell, accompanied by the sweet voices of a children’s choir also serenaded the crowd with Christmas hits such as ‘Hark The Herald Angels Sing’ and ‘Merry Christmas Baby’ during the finale, signalling the arrival of the most wonderful time of the year.

See It Now!

Throughout the holiday season from 24 November to 25 December, the iconic three towers of Marina Bay Sands, along with the facade of ArtScience Museum and the underbelly of the Sands SkyPark, will also be decorated with enchanting animations, treating revellers around the Bay to a picturesque display at every angle.
