From rooftop countdowns to immersive dining and cocktail experiences, December offers the perfect excuse to eat, drink, and dance your way into the new year.
Start the season at HighHouse’s first anniversary party, where art, music, and cocktails collide 62 stories above the city. Then, gear up for SUSHISAMBA’s all-white New Year’s Eve fiesta, complete with Afro-Latin beats, samba dancers, and Dom Pérignon. Cap it all off with the 360-degree fireworks spectacle at NOVA Sky Bar. With iconic locations, exclusive menus, and vibrant vibes, here’s your definitive guide to the best year-end events Singapore has to offer.
1. Festive Cocktails by MO BAR and Baccarat (1 – 31 Dec 2024)
Celebrate the festive season with exclusive holiday cocktails at MO BAR in collaboration with Baccarat. Featuring four unique creations—two crafted by Kim Jung Hoo, Head Bartender at MO BAR Singapore, and two by Hidenori Fukuda, Head Bartender of B Bar, Tokyo—each cocktail captures the essence of Christmas with sophisticated flavours, elegantly presented in Baccarat glassware to elevate the experience.
Hidenori Fukuda’s Matcha Fiora left us in awe. This green-hued take on the Old Fashioned blends a rum base with earthy matcha and festive hints of cherry liqueur, softening beautifully with every sip. Presented in Baccarat’s Fiora Tumbler, the cocktail’s green tones highlight the tumbler’s intricate, tiara-like design, evoking the charm of a Christmas wreath.
