RWS Christmas starts 27 November: 15 fireworks nights and a K-pop disco among the fish

Sentosa has gone K-pop for Christmas, and the fireworks skip 21 December.

The Christmas dates for Sentosa are out. Resorts World Sentosa's Season of Joy runs from Friday 27 November 2026 to Sunday 3 January 2027, with a K-pop theme across the resort, 15 nights of fireworks inside Universal Studios Singapore and two K-pop silent disco nights at the Singapore Oceanarium. The free part is at WEAVE and around the resort; everything else needs a park ticket, so the dates below decide which day you book.

The free bit first. An eight-metre tree anchors WEAVE, with a gift-box installation along Grand Avenue and Colours of our Wishes, where you pick one of seven ribbons (Love, Joy, Hope, Resilience, Dreams, Togetherness or New Beginnings), write a wish and tie it on. RWS lists pop sets, weekend jazz, carols, balloon sculpting and family shows at WEAVE, and Santa meet-and-greets at the Holiday Audio Lounge in the run-up to Christmas.

Inside Universal, Hollywood Boulevard becomes Dazzling Dessert Studios around a 10-metre confectionery tree, Santa, Mrs Claus, Hello Kitty and Kuromi do meet-and-greets, and a new show in the New York zone, the Universal Jingle Jam, brings out Poppy from Trolls, Sesame Street characters and the Minions. RWS lists fireworks on 4, 5, 11 and 12 December, every night from 16 to 25 December except the 21st, and on 1 and 2 January. At the Oceanarium, Glowcean Wonderland adds glass-neon sculptures by Singapore artist Megan Foo, an underwater Christmas presentation at 3.30pm daily to 31 December and Santa dive feedings at 4pm (not Mondays or Fridays). The silent discos are on Friday 4 December, 8 to 11pm, and Friday 18 December, 8.30 to 11.30pm; RWS says to check their admission terms before booking. Adventure Cove gets a resident DJ at BluWater Bay.

Why it matters: 15 fireworks nights spread through December give families weeknight options rather than one big night. RWS also sells a Season of Joy 2-Park Pass, one entry each to Universal and the Oceanarium within seven days, priced by date and advertised as up to S$24 cheaper than separate tickets. The Universal entry on it does not allow re-entry, and the Festive Perks version adds one Universal Express ride plus reserved viewing for the Jingle Jam and the fireworks.

Our advice: pick a fireworks night between 16 and 20 December, before Christmas week, and do the Oceanarium on a different day of the same pass rather than cramming both. If you only want the tree and the carols, go to WEAVE on a weekday evening and pay nothing. It belongs on our Christmas in Singapore guide.
