This year, Christmas on Orchard Road shimmers with a fresh kind of magic, one steeped in elegance, artistry, and the quiet thrill of discovery. As Paragon celebrates its 25th anniversary, the iconic luxury mall invites visitors into a festive world “Wrapped in Wonder,” where every corner promises a moment worth lingering over.

From now until 28 December, Paragon’s polished façade and grand interiors gleam with accents of gold, evoking the warmth and opulence of a champagne-soaked holiday soirée. Floating golden rings, glistening baubles, and cascades of dainty fairy lights ignite the mall with a soft, ethereal glow—creating a dreamlike backdrop for everything from holiday shopping sprees to spontaneous photo moments.

“Paragon’s evolution over the last 25 years has always centred on elevating experiences,” says Jaylyn Ong, Managing Director of Straits Retail Property Management Services. “This year’s celebrations reflect that spirit—luxurious, forward-looking, and deeply meaningful.”

The festivities open with actor-singer Glenn Yong, whose 6 November performance sets the tone for the weeks ahead: warm, melodic, and steeped in holiday cheer. Through December, the mall becomes a festive soundscape with live harp sets, handbell ensembles, jazz trios, and carolling by the acclaimed Victoria Chorale. Whether it’s the resonant chime of handbells or the gentle sweep of harp strings, the music turns the mall into a moving Christmas vignette.

This season’s most photographed attraction is unmistakable—a towering 12-metre Prada Beauty Holiday Tree, the first of its kind in Southeast Asia. Sleek, sculptural, and unmistakably Prada, the installation rises above Paragon’s Level 1 event space like a beacon of contemporary luxury.

An immersive Prada Beauty pop-up sits beside it, inviting visitors to explore the brand’s sensorial world through interactive stations, festive stamp services, exclusive sampling, and discover its seasonal collections—including the new Prada banana balm and hand cream. Paragon Club members can go a step further with beauty and fragrance masterclasses, making the experience both indulgent and personal.

Families haven’t been forgotten. Up on Level 5, Paragon Junior transforms weekends into a wonderland of stories, colour, and imagination. Tales & Tunes storytelling sessions whisk children into fantastical worlds, while school holiday activities—face painting, balloon sculpting, temporary tattoos, and visits from a roving Santa—ensure the little ones get a Christmas just as memorable as the grown-ups’.

Paragon adds another layer of excitement this season with a trio of high-profile store openings:

• Damiani, the Italian high-jewellery maison with nearly a century of craftsmanship, unveils its gleaming new boutique.
• Maison Margiela presents its first ready-to-wear store in Singapore, complete with its Autumn–Winter 2025 Avant-Première Collection.
• Zimmermann makes its Southeast Asia debut in December, bringing its signature romantic aesthetic to Orchard Road.

Paired with festive deals, Mastercard rewards, and Black Friday/Cyber Monday specials, Paragon becomes one of the city’s most compelling holiday shopping destinations.

With its glamorous decor, immersive beauty experiences, world-class performances, and a lineup of exciting new boutiques, Paragon’s “Wrapped in Wonder” celebration feels like a grand ode to the season—and to 25 years of cultivating refined, memorable moments for shoppers.

Whether you’re hunting for the perfect gift, sharing a magical experience with the kids, or simply seeking a beautiful place to soak in the festive glow, Paragon offers a holiday experience that’s as luxurious as it is heartwarming.
