We came to Orchard Road at the end of every year to see and feel the Christmas and New Year decorations and vibes. Last year November 2017, we managed to visit Orchard Road and Christmas village and had great time over there, you may refer our 2017 memories here. This year, it is Disney theme and attracts thousands of locals and tourists visit Orchard Road just to indulge in the cute Christmas vibes. I am pretty sure that most of us have already checked out a lot of Facebook post mentioning about Orchard Road Singapore as one of the place to celebrate for Christmas as well! Don't say I not warn you thou, the crowds in Orchard Road are insane. Basically, you need to queue for all photo spots. Well, it is Christmas public holiday, can't blame it. Beat the crowd by visiting here in November, I guess it will be way better then.

We had our romantic Christmas dinner in Alley Bar, just few minutes outside of Somerset mrt station. After that, we leisurely strolled along Orchard Road and brace ourselves in the swarm of crowds to have some photo taking as memories. We had visited Christmas village outside of Ngee Ann City building as well and just like last year, the first thing that we did was to visit Santa's house! Too bad this year they not give out free Instax photo for us to bring home. Nonetheless we still had wefie with Santa using our phone. As it is Disney theme this year, there are many photo taking opportunities along the road, Mickey and Minnie definitely top the list! And I will not be ashamed to queue with family and kids just to take photo with them 😂, yeah I am 8 years old small girl 😅! Don't laugh at me please, trust me everyone was waiting their turn patiently just to take photos with Mickey and Minnie!

There were a lot of street performances on that night and we can easily spent like 30 minutes sitting over there and kept entertained all the time. Side talk here, I had the best matcha ice cream in Tsujiri just nearby Alley Bar after dinner. Was hunger for matcha ice cream and when research online was so happy to found out the famous Tsujiri outlet is just few minutes walk away. Honestly, the matcha ice cream here was really the best that I have tried in Singapore, it was certainly on par with the good review from Internet. However, if you were to ask me which was the best one I have tried, I will not hesitate to tell you, it was in Hokkaido Japan! Yeah, still origin country has the best and most authentic flavour! Visit the Hokkaido ice cream blog here!

Overall, it was a fun date on our Christmas day. For me, I think last year Christmas decoration with polar express train was prettier and more magnificent to view. And they gave away free Instax photo with Santa Claus. However, this year was cuter. Your choice? Why not both right? Or every year so you can compare!
