CELEBRATIONS
The meaning of Christmas is celebrated with
much fanfare with multimedia displays, carols,
mass choirs, floats and various performances. Our
streets come alive with Christmas decorations
and lighting. The shopping districts of Orchard
Road and Marina Bay explode in a shower of light,
while adjoining malls and shopping centres put
on extended hours and special deals for the season. Many restaurants put on Christmas meals and
buffets that include turkey, ham, fresh seafood,
and desserts like Christmas pudding and Yule logs.
Spas offer the best packages of the year, giving
patrons the opportunity to look their best for the
holidays. With such an overwhelming range of
deals, Weekendin has taken the liberty of picking
out the best recipes, dining specials, staycation
packages, spa deals and gifts for the ultimate celebration this year.

When it comes to the mains, deck the table with a heaping
platter you know you’ll enjoy. These are the dishes that will
make or break the Christmas dinner. If you don’t like turkey,
ditch it for goose, beef or anything else - unless you think it
will cause a riot. Though many families opt for either turkey
or ham, some families choose to go with roast duck, roast
goose, lamb, veal or even a nice beef roast. Don’t be afraid to
be different, but do make sure you understand how to cook
and present the meat you choose for your holiday dinner.
Finish off your holiday dinner with a your choice of decadent desserts. Classic Christmas sweet treats are a sure way
to get you in the holiday spirit. And what spells Christmas
more than trifle or a Christmas pudding? Making your own
pudding isn’t just the perfect way to get in the festive mood,
but it is also incredibly simple. No Christmas pudding will be
complete without a sprig of holly and flaming, so go all out –
you’re only having this once a year anyway.
So you’ve planned the ultimate feast, brought out your best
cutlery, and found some fabulously festive table decorations.
All you need now is a winning selection of wine pairings so
that your hard work shines in all its glory.
