1. Experience Christmas magic at Universal Studios Singapore
Christmas is making a return to Universal Studios Singapore with A Universal Christmas, happening from 27 November 2026 to 3 January 2027! The theme park will transform into a festive wonderland filled with colourful decorations, larger-than-life sweet treats and exciting holiday entertainment.
One of the highlights is Dazzling Dessert Studios, where Hollywood Boulevard becomes a whimsical setting featuring giant confectionery-themed displays and a 10-metre Christmas tree. It's certainly a spot to add to your festive photo checklist! Visitors can also catch the all-new Universal Jingle Jam, a lively musical spectacular featuring familiar faces from DreamWorks Animation's Trolls, Sesame Street and Illumination's Minions. Expect cheerful music, energetic performances and plenty of Christmas spirit.
Of course, it wouldn't be Christmas without Santa Claus! Look out for meet-and-greet opportunities with Santa, Mrs Claus and beloved characters, including Hello Kitty and Kuromi. Festive snowfall moments add even more magic to the experience. On selected nights, visitors can also look forward to fireworks, subject to the park's event schedule.

2. Discover an underwater Christmas at Singapore Oceanarium
Who says Christmas celebrations have to stay on land? From 27 November 2026 to 3 January 2027, Glowcean Wonderland will transform Singapore Oceanarium into a festive experience inspired by the fascinating glow of marine life. Drawing inspiration from bioluminescent and fluorescent sea creatures, the attraction will feature illuminated decorations, glowing displays and plenty of photo-worthy moments.
Visitors can embark on the Glowcean Journey, an interactive stamp trail that follows Manja the Manta Ray on a quest to discover the mysterious Heart of the Glowcean. Along the way, guests can collect stamps and learn about luminous marine life.
Another highlight is the underwater Christmas entertainment, where divers dressed in festive costumes bring a little holiday magic beneath the waves. From 1 to 31 December 2026, the Oceanarium will feature an Underwater Christmas Presentation at 3.30pm daily, while Santa Dive Feeding sessions are scheduled for 4pm daily, except Mondays and Fridays. With its combination of marine discoveries and seasonal activities, Glowcean Wonderland offers a different way for families, couples and friends to celebrate Christmas.
There's a little extra for younger visitors, too! With the Season of Joy: Child Ticket with Sweet Treat offer, children can enjoy a complimentary Sea Animal Cupcake or Croffle with the purchase of a child ticket, subject to availability.

3. Make it a Christmas staycation with the Season of Joy Hotel Bundle
Why squeeze all the fun into one day when you can turn it into a staycation? For travellers looking to spend more time exploring the resort, RWS is introducing a 3D2N Season of Joy Hotel Bundle, available for stays from 27 November 2026 to 3 January 2027. The package is available at three properties: Hotel Ora, Equarius Hotel and The Laurus.
Guests booking the Season of Joy Hotel Bundle at Hotel Ora or Equarius Hotel can enjoy a minimum two-night Deluxe Room stay with breakfast for two, two adult one-day tickets to each of Universal Studios Singapore and Singapore Oceanarium, and unlimited same-day theme park re-entry. There's also a little surprise! Guests who book these packages directly through the RWS website will receive an exclusive Korean-themed welcome gift featuring Korean snacks and skincare products, while stocks last.
For those looking for a more luxurious escape, The Laurus offers a Deluxe Suite stay with breakfast for two, two adult one-day tickets each to both attractions, two Universal Express Passes and unlimited same-day theme park re-entry. Attraction tickets included in these packages are valid for seven consecutive days from their date of issuance, giving guests some flexibility when planning their visits. Whether you're travelling as a couple or enjoying a getaway with loved ones, these bundles make it easier to combine accommodation with some of RWS's biggest attractions. Thinking of a festive staycation? Explore the Season of Joy Hotel Bundles and find your perfect stay here.
4. Explore two attractions with the 2-Park Pass
Planning to visit both Universal Studios Singapore and Singapore Oceanarium? Here's one option worth considering. Available during the Season of Joy campaign, the 2-Park Pass combines admission to both attractions into one convenient package. The pass includes one one-day ticket to each attraction, along with priority entry to both parks.
Better yet, visitors can enjoy savings of up to S$24 compared with purchasing separate admission tickets. Each attraction can be visited once within seven days of the selected start date, making the pass suitable for travellers who prefer to explore at their own pace rather than rushing through everything in a single day.
Do note that priority entry does not include Universal Express access to rides, and Universal Studios Singapore admission under this pass does not allow re-entry.
Want to experience both attractions? Check out the Season of Joy 2-Park Pass here.
5. Enjoy extra festive perks with the Upgraded 2-Park Pass
Want to make your outing even more convenient? RWS also offers the Season of Joy 2-Park Pass with Festive Perks, which combines admission to Universal Studios Singapore and Singapore Oceanarium with additional benefits.
Besides priority entry to both attractions, the upgraded pass includes:
One-time Universal Express access: Skip the regular queue once at one participating ride at Universal Studios Singapore.
Priority entry to selected shows: Enjoy priority access to participating shows, including Trolls Hug Time Jubilee, Donkey LIVE, Shrek 4-D Adventure and WaterWorld.
Reserved viewing for the Universal Jingle Jam: Catch the musical spectacular from a designated viewing area.
Reserved fireworks viewing: Enjoy access to a designated viewing area for fireworks on selected nights.
These benefits can be particularly useful for visitors hoping to enjoy more entertainment while spending less time in queues. The upgraded pass is valid for seven days from your selected start date, allowing you to visit each attraction once within that period.
Do note that the Universal Express benefit applies to one participating ride only, while fireworks viewing depends on the scheduled dates. As with the standard 2-Park Pass, Universal Studios Singapore admission does not permit re-entry.

More festive stops around the resort
There's even more festive fun to discover beyond the main attractions! From 27 November to 31 December 2026, Adventure Cove Waterpark will host K-Wave Christmas, featuring K-pop and Christmas hits, resident DJ sets at BluWater Bay, festive poolside activities and Korean-inspired refreshments. Do note that waterpark admission is required.
For something more leisurely, head to WEAVE, where an eight-metre Christmas tree, giant gift-box installation and Colours of our Wishes ribbon display add to the festive atmosphere. Look out for pop performances, weekend jazz and Christmas carols on scheduled dates. The best part? WEAVE's public spaces can be explored without a theme-park ticket, making it an easy stop for photos, shopping or dining. Be sure to check the programme before visiting, as activities and performances may vary by date.
