Christmas Day

Christmas is a Christian holiday, and seasonal gatherings, decorations and gift exchanges are common in Singapore. Different shops, restaurants and services may use different hours.
Date source: Ministry of Manpower (MOM), “Public Holidays 2027”.

• Gift purchases often happen early: Retailers should communicate order, collection and delivery cut-offs.
• Restaurant bookings need checking: Confirm meal reservations and staffing for Christmas Day.
• Confirm individual operating hours: Saturday hours may differ across shopping centres, restaurants and services.
• Visitor enquiries: Share your hours; suggest checking transport and attraction notices directly.
• Check employment guidance: For private-sector days off, substitute holidays, staffing and pay arrangements, follow announcements from the Ministry of Manpower (MOM).

• 30 days before: Decide Christmas Day hours and review gift orders and restaurant reservations.
• 14 days before: Set each date’s special hours in Google Business Profile, including closed days. Publish a Post on the same day with the complete opening schedule.
• 7 days before: Repeat Saturday 25 December hours and contact customers with collections or table bookings.
• On the holiday: Verify that the posted hours still match actual operations. Check that the special hours will expire after their assigned dates rather than overwrite regular hours.
