Be sure to also stop by the MOIC Cafe & Bar for delicious festive treats like the massive Pinkmas Sundae, quirky Gingerbread Milkshake, and even a classic yet decadent mug of Eggnog.

Check out: Seasons of Bloom at Gardens by the Bay

The Seasons of Bloom floral display celebrates Gardens by the Bay's 10th anniversary by paying tribute to the various seasons of flowers from around the world that have been showcased at the Flower Dome over the years.

You can look forward to seeing magnificent blooms of snapdragons for spring, delphiniums for summer, zinnias for autumn and cyclamens for winter. And, of course, as the centrepiece for this gorgeous display, the Flower Dome boasts a dazzling horticulture-artistry Christmas tree.

Standing at 8 metres tall and with a diameter of almost 6 metres, this vibrantly coloured tree is crafted with the use of red and white poinsettias to give it a striped pattern that resembles festive candy canes, adding a new twist to this reimagined Christmas tree.
