Dates: 12–14 Nov 2026 · 12 Nov 1–9pm; 13–14 Nov 11am–9pm
If your Christmas gift list still says “something handmade”, The Christmas Atelier packs 130-plus artisanal brands into Hall C at Marina Bay Sands for three days only. The eighth edition (12–14 November 2026) mixes curated shopping with festive food and photo sets — denser than a mall pop-up, shorter than a month-long light-up.

Good to know
12 Nov 1–9pm; 13–14 Nov 11am–9pm — go weekday afternoon if you hate queues
Why go?
One hundred and thirty brands under one roof beats hopping between separate pop-ups across town.
Hall C is indoors and air-conditioned — useful in November heat compared with outdoor Christmas markets.
Multi-attraction ticket bundles (Oceanarium, Flyer, SkyPark, Gardens conservatories, USS) appear on partner ticket pages if you are already planning a Marina Bay day.
What to do
01 · Shop the artisan floor
Expect fashion, lifestyle, gourmet and gift makers rather than a generic bazaar. The organiser frames it as Singapore’s favourite holiday market returning for an eighth year — bring a tote and a shortlist of people you still need presents for.
02 · Time your visit
Thursday 12 November runs 1pm–9pm; Friday 13 and Saturday 14 November run 11am–9pm. Opening afternoon on Thursday is usually calmer than Saturday evening (suggestion).
03 · Buy the right pass
Tickets are sold via the official site (thechristmasatelier.co), which redirects to its ticket partner. Choose a one-day or multi-day pass before you go; digital tickets are typically scanned at the door with no separate collection counter.

Before you go
- Screenshot your digital ticket — reception can be patchy in the basement approach.
- If you only need a few gifts, Thursday afternoon is the least crowded window (suggestion).
- Combine with Spectra or a SkyPark sunset only if your energy (and ticket bundle) allows — Hall C shopping already eats a few hours.
