Ready for the weekend? Here's what you can look forward to this week.

1. World Christmas Market

Check out the inaugural World Christmas Market taking place at The Promontory at Marina Bay from now till December 25.

You can look forward to a wide array of festive experiences and activities like carolling, a Saint Nicholas Village where your kids can enjoy Christmas stories told through pantomime, puppetry and song, an augmented reality journey aboard a festive choo-choo train to Santa's workshop, and more.

In addition, this pop-up has several dedicated bazaars tailored to your shopping needs, such as the on-site Christmas tree farm for you to pick out your own live tree and ornaments, or the Fur Friends Bazaar, where you can get treats and Christmas presents for your pawkids.

2. Gardens by the Bay Christmas Train Show

Get ready to experience a century-old American Christmas tradition at Gardens by the Bay's (GBTB) Flower Dome this month.

Presented in collaboration with the Embassy of the United States in Singapore, the GBTB Christmas Train Show's debut brings to life the magic of model trains as you witness them chugging past miniature versions of iconic American landmarks like the Statue of Liberty, Grand Central Terminal and the Empire State Building.

For more railway fun, check out the Singapore Rail Journey and follow the timeline of our Little Red Dot's rail development over the years.

You can also admire a recreation of Raffles Place MRT Station, or even snap pics with a Swedish Railbus Y7 1113, which offers a faster, more affordable alternative to ageing steam locomotives.
