Tired of the same old holiday routines? Andaz Singapore’s “Handcrafted for the Holidays” offers a stunning escape. From lavish festive buffets and rooftop countdowns to whimsical, locally inspired cakes, we break down the perfect, stress-free celebration for Singaporean families. Discover feasts that feel both luxurious and wonderfully personal.
Is your family still deciding on the perfect year-end celebration? The thought of cooking a massive feast or organising a party can be enough to make anyone want to skip the holidays altogether. What if you could have a spectacular, memorable experience without lifting a finger beyond making a reservation?
Andaz Singapore seems to have read our minds. Their “Handcrafted for the Holidays” theme for 2025 is all about artisanal feasts, rooftop revelry, and sweet delights, all crafted for you. It’s the kind of celebration that feels both luxurious and personal, perfect for busy parents who want to make moments, not just meals.
A Festive Feast for Everyone at Alley on 25
For families, the heart of the celebration is often a shared meal. Alley on 25 transforms into a festive haven on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, offering a sprawling buffet that takes the stress out of hosting. Imagine your table sharing a glistening Traditional Roasted Turkey with all the trimmings, a whole Baked Salmon en Croûte, and a Maple-glazed Pork Ham carved right before your eyes.
The beauty here is in the mix of classic and local flavours. While the kids might gravitate towards the cascading Grand Cru chocolate fountain, you can indulge in a delightful Ondeh Crème Brûlée or a ‘Pineapple Tart’ Bûche de Noël. It’s this thoughtful touch that makes the meal special.
New Year’s Eve kicks things up a notch with an even more indulgent spread. Think fresh oysters, a lobster cart, and a massive Spice-rubbed Tomahawk steak. After dessert, you can seamlessly take the party upstairs to Mr. Stork’s rooftop countdown. It’s a clever way to have a full, uninterrupted evening of celebration.
Luxe and Intimate Celebrations at 665°F
Maybe your idea of a perfect holiday is a quieter, more refined affair. For that, 665°F, the steakhouse on level 38, offers a breathtakingly luxurious set menu. With stunning views of the city skyline as your backdrop, this is the spot for a romantic dinner or an intimate gathering.
The Christmas and New Year’s Eve menus are five-course journeys of decadence. We’re talking about dishes like Dressed Blue Swimmer Crab crowned with Oscietra Caviar, Confit Duck Ravioli, and a choice between a deeply umami Koji-aged Striploin or a delicate Kombu-Aged Murray Cod. It’s a meal designed for savouring every moment and every bite. You can even bundle this experience with access to the Mr. Stork rooftop party, which is a fantastic way to ring in the new year.
Rooftop Countdowns and Crafted Cocktails at Mr. Stork
Speaking of Mr. Stork, this rooftop bar is the place to be for the countdown. For a set price, you get free-flowing Champagne, premium spirits, and bespoke festive cocktails like the vibrant ‘Crimson Sage’ with cranberry and pineapple. The party vibe is fuelled by a DJ and an endless stream of handcrafted canapés, from Manchego Croquettes to loaded Tex-Mex Fries and a roving cannoli bar.
It’s the ultimate hassle-free way to welcome the new year. No cleaning up, no preparing snacks, just you, your loved ones, and a champagne toast under the stars.
The Sweetest Finale at Andaz Cake Shop
No holiday is complete without treats to take home. The Andaz Cake Shop has truly outdone itself with creations that blend Christmas tradition with a distinct Singaporean soul. The star is the ‘SNAP! Ceylon’ Chocolate Gâteau, which layers milk chocolate with blood orange caramel and a spiced ginger snap crunch.
For something uniquely local, the ‘Too Cubed for Xmas’ Trio is a must-try. These jewel-like cubes include flavours like Gilded Kueh Noel and Pandan Pulau Snow, offering a deliciously nostalgic twist. They also have classic Italian Panettoni, perfect for gifting or a cosy breakfast at home.
Crafting Your Holiday Story
So, there you have it. Whether it’s a bustling family buffet, a sophisticated steakhouse dinner, a vibrant rooftop party, or simply bringing home a box of incredible cakes, Andaz Singapore has laid out all the options for a truly handcrafted holiday. All that’s left for you to do is choose your adventure and focus on what really matters, making those little moments with your family.
