NYLON x Plaza Singapura Christmas 2023 Gift Guide: Season’s Specials

Few things are more heartwarming than gathering around the table for a meal with good company, but here’s how we can make it better — by getting you excited for a whole array of indulgent festive feasts! For the foodies, families and friends, the season is made more enchanting with traditional holiday classics that are tried and true, as well as innovative twists that’ll have you curious for a bite. We’ve also included cookies in beautiful tins, gingerbread houses, and wine bundles for hosts and guests of hosts, so you’ll never have to turn up empty-handed. Ahead, decadent desserts and savoury delights, many of which are here for a limited time only.

SWENSEN’S CHRISTMAS SET

The holidays are the perfect excuse to gather ’round for a festive feast — not that we need one anyway, when the food looks this good, and the company is bound to be delightful. Swensen’s serves up a highly-delectable and varied set, from roast meats and seafood, to greens and carbs, even an ice-cream log cake. Some of the highlights include the Honey Glazed Chicken Ham, Ocean Catch Platter, Herb Roasted Vegetables, and Truffle Roast U.S. Potatoes.
