Christmas is a time to feast and be merry. So we've tracked down the very best Christmas hampers and goodies in Singapore – we're talking mince pies, log cakes, gingerbread houses and more!
It’s time to haul home your Christmas tree, get your Christmas day champagne brunch booked, and bring the kids to sit on Santa’s knee. We LOVE this time of the year! Except when it comes to food. We’re always too late, too disorganised and too sozzled (silly season style) to source all the necessary gourmet goodies in time. We’re talking Christmas hampers, log cakes, traditional plum puddings (with the obligatory brandy butter), cakes, stollen, gingerbread people and more. So, to save you from our past fate of circumnavigating the island on the traditional Xmas fare, we’ve done the research to bring you the best places to order your Christmas hampers, log cakes and festive essentials in Singapore.
