With a private space all to yourselves that gives a luxurious view of the gorgeous sights all around, this is a novel experience that your family will remember for many Christmases to come!

Who says the Christmas season has to be all about festivities though? You and your family can be a little unconventional and bond over the last major running event of 2020, which comes with a twist! Due to the special circumstances surrounding this year, the marathon will use immersive augmented reality. This means that you can run on a treadmill in the safety of your own home and still experience all the usual marathon sights, like Orchard Road and the Civic District.
5) Drink up at the Singapore Tea and Coffee Festival
