Spread The Yuletide Cheer (and Rediscover Singapore) At These Festive-Themed Locations

We’re well into the month of December and that means it’s time for some festive cheer! Even though the pandemic has put a damper on our year-end travel plans, that doesn’t mean we still can’t enjoy the holiday season in our own backyard. Here’s a look at four festive-themed locations where you can discover new experiences and create memorable moments safely with your friends and family. 

1. CAPITOL SINGAPORE AND CHIJMES
