With so much happening in Singapore for the festive season, there’s no lack of fun when it comes to the variety of Christmas pop ups. But for Sanrio fans, Christmas just got a lot more exciting at Marina Square.
The central atrium has been transformed into a toy kingdom with the cutest photos spots, where you can now enjoy a host of fun activities and meet your fave Sanrio characters at the Marina Square Christmas Wanderland from now until 1 January 2024.
The most noticeable structure at the Sanrio Christmas Wanderland is its 6-metre-tall, pink Christmas tree that takes centre stage. Adorned in pink, turquoise, pearl, and gold decorations, the tree stands between the Magical Rink and Hello Kitty’s photo stand, so you can get multiple angles for your IG story posts.
There are also Pompompurin Christmas Sled, Kuromi Craft Corner, Little Twin Stars Delightful Ball Pit, and My Melody Christmas Kitchen photo spots, perfect for showcasing your Christmas-sy OOTD shots.
Unleash your inner child and try your hand at one of the fun activities here, like bowling with a giant ball and pins at the Cinnamonroll Magical Rink. To make it worth your while, you can win a free standard ice cream cup from Betsubara if you succeed in knocking down at least two pins.
That’s not all. You’ll get a free McDonald’s vanilla cone if you knock down one pin, and even if you don’t score at all, you’ll still get some free candy for participating. Talk about a sweet surprise.
Also, who knew you didn’t have to leave Singapore to experience snow? From now until 31 December 2023, the Cinnamonroll Magical Rink will have a daily 15-minute snow shower at 2pm, 7.30pm, and 8.30pm. What’s even better is you’ll be joined by your fave Sanrio characters like Hello Kitty, Pompompurin, and Gudetama who will frolic in the snow with you.
Apart from heartwarming pics, Marina Square Rewards Members can get free Sanrio character merchandise like mugs and wrapping paper. To redeem a free set of two Sanrio character gift wrappers, you’ll need to present receipts with a minimum amount of $60 from qualifying Marina Square Rewards stores. You can combine up to three receipts but they all have to be for purchases made on the same day.
The same conditions apply to get free Sanrio character mugs. There’s a total of four mugs with Hello Kitty, Cinnamonroll, My Melody, and Kuromi available. Pick any one as a free gift with a minimum spend of $180. Free gifts are limited to one redemption per member per day while stocks last.
And if you’re not a Marina Square Rewards Member, don’t worry. You can still redeem these adorable gifts by downloading the Marina Square app and signing up for a free membership before accumulating your shopping receipts.
Since Christmas is a time for some carefree spending, don’t forget to check out the Sanrio Merchandise Fair at the atrium that runs until the end of the year. With loads of Sanrio toys, collectibles, apparel, and homeware, you’ll surely find lots of gifts for yourself and others too.
