If you’re taking a Christmas lights walk down Orchard Road this year, look for the paisley bows outside Paragon. The mall has teamed up with Italian fashion house ETRO for A Season of Splendour, a festive programme running from 12 November to 27 December 2026. At the centre of it is a 12-metre Christmas tree, ETRO’s first in Asia.
There’s plenty to see from the pavement, but it’s worth getting close enough to look at the decorations. The bows are printed with ETRO’s signature motifs and the gold ornaments take their cues from patterns in the house’s archives. It’s a chance to see the paisley usually associated with ETRO’s clothes and accessories on a rather different scale.
A Milanese Christmas treat makes its Singapore debut
Inside Paragon, ETRO is bringing a limited-edition panettone to its boutique for the first time in Singapore. Created with Michelin-starred Milanese restaurant Il Luogo Aimo e Nadia, the festive loaf combines caramel and candied orange with a touch of fleur de sel. It comes in a satin-finish metal tin printed with paisley motifs from ETRO’s Holiday 2026 collection.
Paragon’s 25 Days of Christmas gift edit has a few finds for children too. Henri Charpentier’s limited-edition Miffy gift boxes arrive on 19 November, while stocks last. Upstairs at Paragon Junior, Le Petit Society has matching family pyjamas and The Better Toy Store is carrying a limited-edition Steiff x Snoopy Christmas plush at S$109.90.
When to go with the kids
Saturday 5, 12 or 19 December works well if you want to catch two festive favourites in one visit. NUS Resonance performs Christmas carols at the Level 1 linkway at 3pm, followed by a roving Santa appearance at 4pm.
For a Sunday outing, magician Tommy Kian performs at the Level 5 Paragon Playground at 2pm on 6, 13, 20 and 27 December. Stay until 3pm and children aged two and above can join a complimentary activity in the same space. There’s balloon sculpting on 6 and 27 December, face painting on 13 December and glitter tattoos on 20 December. If you’re visiting in November, the playground also has balloon sculpting on 15 November, face painting on 22 November and glitter tattoos on 29 November, all from 3pm to 4pm.
There’s live music on selected weekdays too. Pianist Elizabeth Saw plays at the Level 1 linkway at 3pm and 4pm on 13, 20 and 27 November. In December, the NTU CAC Choir sings at the main entrance at 5pm on 10 December and 7pm on 17 December.
Plan your visit. The Christmas tree is at Paragon’s Level 1 main entrance on Orchard Road until 27 December 2026. For more information, visit Paragon.
