After a sold-out debut in 2024, the Christmas Train Show is making its spectacular return to Gardens by the Bay, and this year’s edition is grander, greener, and more enchanting. From 23 Nov 2025 to 4 Jan 2026, the Flower Dome will be filled with close to 20 model trains, intricate tracks, and festive displays that transport visitors across continents in holiday style.

Winding through 145 metres of tracks, the miniature trains journey past lovingly detailed scenes from Singapore, the United States, and Denmark, capturing the spirit of global Christmas traditions.

A Festive Train Ride Across Different Worlds

Expect to see classic American icons like the Statue of Liberty, Golden Gate Bridge, and Grand Central Terminal, all part of a larger-than-life model landscape that celebrates a nostalgic American yuletide.

Adding a proudly local twist, a specially commissioned G-scale SMRT train will weave through miniatures of Singapore’s Supertrees, heritage shophouses, and even the Dragon Playground, built entirely from recycled Singapore wood.

From Europe, a slice of Danish charm arrives with a 4.5-metre-tall LEGO Christmas tree and a 6.5-metre-wide LEGO Nyhavn harbourfront, forming a dazzling Scandinavian tribute that LEGO fans will not want to miss.

Flower Power and Holiday Lights

Surrounding these scenes are more than 7,000 plants, including 70 different species such as holly, mistletoe, 18 varieties of poinsettias, and 50 varieties of Christmas trees, some towering up to 4 metres. By nightfall, seven-metre-tall lighted luminaries cast a warm festive glow over the display, creating a magical experience for visitors of all ages.
