Goodwood Park Hotel
Goodwood Park Hotel‘s Christmas takeaway menu features a medley of new confections such as the Earl Grey Winter Sleigh, a show-stopping piece with an Earl Grey cremeux centre infused with cream, milk, and Jivara chocolate, resting on a crispy base of golden kunafa, fluffy pistachio sponge, and tangy raspberry compote. Nestled atop a layer of Chantilly cream are reindeer-shaped white chocolate accents, ‘pulling’ a sleigh filled with edible chocolate truffles and chocolate-coated almonds.
Also not to be missed is the Crisp-mas Pistachio Kunafa Tart, a multi-textured delight featuring a chocolate sugar dough crust filled with layers of silky pastry cream, caramelised pistachios, rich chocolate cream cheese, and chocolate ganache. For something fruity, the Merry Berry Nutty Tart is a lighter alternative to traditional log cakes, its chocolate sugar dough shell cradling a rich almond cream base topped with candied pecans, toasted pistachios, and fresh berries nestled within silky pastry cream. Order online at goodwoodparkfestive.oddle.me. An advanced order of five days is required for takeaways, with the last pre-order date on 19 December 2025.
Origin+ Bloom, Marina Bay Sands
This festive season, Origin + Bloom at Marina Bay Sands turns into an enchanting spectacle with its life-sized Gingerbread House installation. The Hotel Tower 3 patisserie has been transformed into a whimsical holiday tableau, perfumed with the warming notes of ginger, cinnamon and cloves from over 1,200 handcrafted gingerbread cookies. Anchored by a bespoke Marina Bay Sands train station, the charming display is on view until 2 January 2026.
While you’re there, check out their range sweet treats, such as the Bûche de Noël Chocolat, made with chocolate diplomat cream, rum-brushed sponge and hazelnut praline. Or the Le Sapin (French for fir tree, this dessert resembles a miniature Christmas tree) whose almond tart base is topped with cassis compote and a delicate whiskey mousse, and crowned with an elegant spiral of matcha and sweet potato.
Also check out the Nutcracker Station Train Piñata, a beautifully crafted chocolate train filled with chocolate truffles. Pair it with the Polar Express, a whimsical chocolate sponge carriage layered with salted caramel, yuzu and orange mousse, hazelnut dacquoise, and feuilletine. Panettone fans can look out for options ranging from classic Milanese studded with candied citrus and vanilla, to indulgent Gianduja with hazelnut praline, and a tropical rendition featuring mango, pineapple and Tahitian vanilla.
Fullerton Hotels
The Fullerton Hotel’s lineup of gourmet takeaway delights is headlined by the exquisite Fullerton Cassis Mont Blanc which comprises a chocolate snow globe encasing a miniature Fullerton Building, revealing layers of chestnut cream, cassis curd and Valrhona white chocolate mousse within.
There are several new Yule log flavours to try too, such as the Pistachio & Raspberry Yule Log which comes decked in festive hues, and the Coffee & Passion Fruit Yule Log which balances the slight bitterness of Fullerton Blend coffee beans layered with Valrhona Manjari 64% chocolate mousse, with the bright, zesty notes of passion fruit. Returning favourites include the tropical Pandan Coconut Snow Yule Log and the perennial bestseller, the Black Forest Yule Log. Place orders online via the Fullerton e-shop or at The Fullerton Cake Boutique, located at the lobbies of The Fullerton Hotel Singapore and The Fullerton Bay Hotel Singapore.
AMI Pattiserie
Fans of AMI Patisserie’s signature Panettone, rejoice as Chef Makoto Arami is bringing back the beloved festive classic this year. Traditional panettones are notoriously laborious to make, which is why they are preferred as heartfelt gifts. Chef Makoto’s version enhances the recipe with his unique touch. Made from the finest ingredients such as Japanese organic eggs and premium flour, the bread is studded with dried fruits like raisins, orange, and lemon that have been steeped in Grand Marnier and Cointreau, providing a pleasant contrast to the sweet and fruity elements. The bread is then hung upside down after baking to preserve its dome shape and fluffy texture. Order at the Pattiserie Cafe or online at AMI Pattiserie’s e-shop.
Carlton Hotel Singapore
Celebrations at home are much sweeter with Carlton Hotel’s festive takeaway desserts. The new Berry Mochi Delight is a playful twist on the classic log cake, with layers of chewy mochi, zesty blueberry compote, light sponge, and airy lemon cream cheese atop a delicate crumble base. Other sweet treats to look forward to include the Hazelnut Chocolate Panettone, studded with nuts and enriched with Valrhona chocolate, and classics like the Christmas Stollen and Handcrafted Bonbon, which make for perfect gifts. Order online at the hotel’s Festive eShop, with collections until 25 December 2025.
One Farrer Hotel
One Farrer Hotel brings festive cheer with both playful showstoppers and comforting traditions. Make a statement with the colourful rainbow choux tower, or keep it classic with rum- and red wine-soaked fruit cake finished with amarena cherries, mixed fruit stollen, or a caramel pecan pie. Christmas cookies featuring silver moon tea apple, chocolate sea salt and checkerboard designs are easy crowd-pleasers. For the main event, the hotel also offers hearty festive roasts, from satay-marinated turkey or chicken to traditional roast turkey and pineapple-glazed gammon ham.
