After a two-year hiatus, the Great Christmas Village is returning to Ngee Ann City Civic Plaza from Dec 7, 2022 to Jan 2, 2023. The event is part of the Orchard Road Christmas light-up festivities organised by the Orchard Road Business Association.

The Great Christmas Village will feature popular and up-and-coming F&B brands offering a variety of cuisines for foodies to indulge in. There’s also a beer garden for visitors to enjoy their booze and food, while soaking up the jovial, festive atmosphere.

Plant-based burger joint VeganBurg will serve its signature gourmet burgers at the event. 

Guests can get their hands on the Truffle bello burg (S$16.90), a Christmas special featuring a crispy herbed portobello patty, fresh vegetables and an exquisite vegan truffle-aioli sauce — all stacked between locally sourced, toasted wholemeal buns.

Fancy some sweet and savoury donut mochis? Head to the stall run by homegrown dessert shop Dochi Dochi. Its unique donut mochis — also known as dochis — are crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside.

A must-try is the Oreo bomb (S$10 a box). It comprises a donut base that’s double-coated with melted white chocolate and crushed Oreo crumbs. Exclusively for the Great Christmas Village, Dochi Dochi will sell the dochi & gelato, a new item that allows guests to pair their favourite dochi with an ice cream of their choice, such as strawberry cheesecake or Dutch chocolate.

Other notable F&B brands taking part in the Great Christmas Village include Speciality Thai Grills (flown in from Bangkok), Magnum, and Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream.

Aside from savouring the food on offer, you can revel in other family-friendly activities at the event. For instance, you can try your hand at the carnival games and visit the attractions, such as an inflatable bouncer, an all-white merry-go-round and other fun-filled rides. 

That’s not all. Visitors can also look forward to a line-up of Singapore artists, such as Jack & Rai, Cold Cut Duo and Daniel Sid, who are performing every Friday, Saturday and Sunday on the village’s main stage. 

VeganBurg and Dochi Dochi are on the GrabFood delivery service. You can also book a ride to the Great Christmas Village from Dec 7, 2022 to Jan 2, 2023.
