Changi Celebrates Christmas with Attractions, Festive Decor and Promotions

This year’s “The Big Christmas” celebrations at Changi Airport in Singapore includes special attractions, festive decor, shopping promotions and engaging online contests for both travellers and Singapore residents.

At Terminal 3 (departure level), two of the biggest attractions await visitors – the Big Musical Ball and Big Snow Fantasy. Right in front of the central Departure Immigration gate sits the six-metre wide by six-metre tall Big Musical Ball, which revolves, lights up, plays music and opens up to reveal a little Bauble Tree – like a giant musical box. During peak visiting hours (from 12 noon to 10.00pm on weekends and 7.00pm to 10.00pm on weekdays), the Big Musical Ball will dispense candies and colourful balls at half-an-hour intervals, for the enjoyment of the public. Balls with the Changi Airport logo can be exchanged for gifts at a nearby redemption booth.

At Terminal 3 (near Check-in Row 11) is another highlight - the Big Snow Fantasy, a massive inflatable Bauble Castle measuring about seventeen metres wide and eight metres tall, on which adults and children alike can bounce and slide on, with beautiful snow flakes showering around them. This giant inflatable castle is free of charge and will operate from 12 noon to 10.00pm daily.

Meanwhile, for outbound travellers, or passengers in transit, there is one of the tallest Christmas Bauble Trees in Singapore measuring eight metres high, located at the central foyer of the Terminal 3 Transit Mall. Besides Terminal 3, other terminals at Changi Airport are also decked out in festive decorations this Christmas.

As part of the festivities, there will also be a Christmas Bazaar located at the basement mall of Terminal 3. Promising a good variety of charming Christmas-themed products, including accessories, apparels, chocolates, books and other knick knacks, this bazaar is a good place to shop for Christmas gifts for family and friends. The Christmas Bazaar will be held from Thursday to Sunday every week, from 3 December to 27 December 2009.

“The Big Christmas” decorations will be displayed until 4 January 2010.
