If you can’t travel overseas this year to experience a true White Christmas, don’t be too upset about it.

Head down to Gardens By The Bay’s Flower Dome and you’ll still be able to enjoy yourselves a Nordic Christmas as you marvel at the sights of all the five different Nordic countries. Journey through the iconic landmarks of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden and take in the beautiful scenery of poinsettia plants.

It’s said that there are over 30 different kinds of poinsettia plants to look at!

The temperature in the Flower Dome is also considered to be quite cooling which is a stark contrast to what you would usually experience here in tropical Singapore. Thus, the cold atmosphere will help you feel as if you’re really in those Nordic countries!

6. There’s No Place Like Home

Instead of heading out and celebrating Christmas like everyone else, why not make it a little special and celebrate it at home with your loved ones instead?

That way, you won’t have to worry about the insane crowds that are bound to be everywhere. Plus, there might even be traffic jams as you try to make your way back home after the event.

It would be fun to get your very own little Christmas tree and decorate it together by hanging ornaments and putting fairy lights on it. Super heartwarming and even romantic!

As the clock approaches midnight, you can gather around the tree and sing Christmas carols before exchanging gifts.

Honestly, it probably doesn’t matter where you celebrate Christmas as long as you’re with the ones who matter the most.

Happy Holidays, everyone!
