A Universal Christmas At Universal Studios Singapore: Christmas Parade, Festive Circus Acts & More
From Gardens by the Bay’s annual Christmas Wonderland to a new Museum of Ice Cream installation at Orchard, there is certainly no shortage of things to do this Christmas! If you’ve already got a list to keep track of all the activities to celebrate this festive season, don’t forget to add A Universal Christmas at Universal Studios Singapore to it.
Now till 2 January 2023, everyone’s favourite theme park will be transformed into a Christmas heaven with themed photo booths, holiday-inspired snacks, a Santa’s Circus Extravaganza, which will light up the night in New York, and so much more.

This whole shebang will include floats alongside an eclectic ensemble of 42 performers led by Ringmaster Santa and joined by the Minions, Kung Fu Panda’s Po and Tigress, and many other characters. They will be making their way to Santa’s Big Top, where an enchanting snowfall awaits, so be sure to get your cameras ready to capture this magical moment.
Live Shows

USS’ iconic live shows will also be themed after the festive season, so expect a circus performance, dubbed The Greatest Show Begins, filled with troupers donned in Christmas wear, carrying out acts including acrobatics and live singing. You can also look forward to an all-new spectacle from Gingy, the adorable gingerbread man from Shrek.

Head up to Mel’s Diner Stage to sing along to some good ol’ Christmas tunes and for performances such as the daring dancing of Polly the Polar Bear Princess and the Christmas ribbon manipulation by Ruby. And don’t miss your chance to meet Santa’s Superstars of the Circus (a.k.a. Unicyclist Elf, Peppermint Plate Spinner, and the stilt-walking Toy Soldier) as they showcase their sideshow acts throughout the day.
