If you find stuck with nothing prepared for a last-minute Christmas gathering, don't fret.

Read on to find out how we managed to put together the basic festive necessities for a successful Christmas party, all at Compass One!

Complete your look

If a pair of cute pumps are the last thing you need to complete your festive outfit, make sure you swing by DMK (#02-46) for a wide selection of shoes.

From kitten heels to glittery stilettos pick from DMK's versatile catalogue, which guarantees style and comfort - perfect for a festive all-night party!

Don't forget to pick out a matching bag to go with your shoes, for the cherry on top for a party-ready fit.

Practical gifts to impress

Scratching your head over what to gift your nearest and dearest? Surprise them with gadgets from the Samsung Experience Store (#03-06/07).

Gift your special someone a Galaxy S24 FE - capturing special moments is a breeze with its 50MP wide camera. Plus, create perfect images with the Photo Assist function by removing, refining or shifting elements to enhance their special Christmas moments. 

Galaxy S24 FE offers premium Galaxy AI tools and ecosystem connectivity to enhance communication, productivity and creativity - all housed in an iconic design and protected by robust Samsung Knox security.

Potluck ready

What's a festive get together without some good food? And if you still have not decided on the perfect piece to bring to the potluck, there's something for everyone at Compass One.

Kenangan Coffee (#01-01)

Settle the caffeine and sweet treat cravings at Kenangan Coffee - where you can order takeouts in advance.

Treat your friends to a cup of Kenangan Latte and indulge in a decadent Chocolate Muffin or a savoury hot Chicken Curry Puff for that perfect tableside appetiser.

POCHA! Korean Street Dining (#02-42)

If your Christmas gatherings are also turning into a K-drama watch party, get into the mood with takeouts from Pocha.

Featuring a huge one-metre platter of favourite K-style snacks, and other dishes featured in K-dramas such as soy-marinated raw crab and creamy Shin ramen noodles - feel like a part of the plot as you and your pals binge-watch your favourite k-drama.

Kopitiam (#04-11)

Or if you still can't make your mind up, check out the variety of food options at the newly renovated Kopitiam food court.

Savour famous dishes from Michelin bib hawkers, like the braised duck hor fun from Shi Hui Yuan or dig into a plate of nasi goreng sambal set from HJH Maimunah Mini.
