It should go without saying that Christmas is the perfect time for feasting with loved ones. The halls are decked with boughs of holly and it’s that time of the year when endless plates of festive food await.

Not everyone fancies cooking up a storm (and cleaning up afterwards), which is why we’ve gathered some of the best festive menus for you to savour from various restaurants this season. We’re talking meat platters, mouth-watering sides, and Instagram-worthy desserts—all of which can be found in Changi Airport and Jewel Changi Airport. 

From cosy and chic restaurants to family-friendly eateries, here’s how you can keep the spirit of Christmas flying high this holiday in Changi.

Delicious festive menus for a joyous, merry time

1. Swensen's

For generations (since 1979!), Swensen’s has been synonymous with memorable celebrations. Whether it’s birthdays or anniversaries, a trip to Swensen's is a delectable tradition with friends, family or loved ones. It’s no different this season; Christmas calls for an indulgent feast. Why not ring in the festivities with some whimsical nostalgia at the Swensen’s outlet in Changi Airport? 

The previous (and original) outlet first opened in Terminal 1, and while it holds a special place in our hearts, the current outlet at Terminal 3 has equally been a hit since its opening in 2020. Clearly, Swensen’s has stood the test of time.

Savour the ultimate comfort food: Christmas Chicken Waffles (S$21.90)—a delicious plate of juicy boneless chicken drizzled with maple syrup, paired with waffles and served with cranberry slaw. If not, opt for other special options—the meat or seafood platters (S$39.25). The former consists of tender braised beef cheeks, sausages and chicken, along with delicious sides like steak cut fries. The latter, on the other hand, serves up seabass, salmon fillets, king prawns and scallops.

End the feast with sweet desserts like the Turkey Crackles (S$14.80), which comes with sticky chocolate ice cream and cold fudge, or the Biscoff  Cheesecake (S$7.80), that’s known to offer caramel goodness and crunchiness with each bite. 

Other Christmas specials are also available for takeaway from Earle Swensen’s on Changi Eats. Take your pick from the selection of Pan Seared Chicken with Creamy Tomato Sauce (S$18.19), Deep Fried Chicken Katsu & Waffles (S$20.33) and Earle’s Lamb Shank Korma (S$62.06).
 

Address: Terminal 3 #B2-31-32
Operating hours: Opens daily from 11:30am to 10:30pm

2. Privé

Nestled within the distinctive Canopy Park at Jewel, Privé stands ready to wow palates even further with its festive specials this year.

Satisfy your tastebuds with its Turkey Breast Roulade—a creamy delight with pork sausage and mushroom stuffing served with roasted zucchini, cranberry sauce, creamed Hokkaido corn and onion mustard gravy. If you can afford extra tummy space, consider tucking in its Impossible Sausage, Pistachio & Lentil Meatloaf. It’s an equally delicious pick that comes with granny smith sauerkraut (finely-cut fermented cabbage) and onion gravy. 

Food aside, Privé also offers a Gingerbread Cookie Decorating Workshop designed for kids between the ages of four and ten. Find out more here.

Address: Jewel Changi Airport #05 - 204
Operating hours: Monday to Thursday, Sunday—11:00am to 10:00pm, Friday and Saturday—10:00am to 10:30pm 

3. Shang Social

Christmas may be a relatively western affair, but who says you can’t have it with an Asian twist? Swing by Shang Social for a taste of Chinese culinary bliss. 

A five-course set menu is available at S$98++ per person. Even better, this comes with a complimentary bottle of Ruggeri Argeo Prosecco Brut—a delicious sparkling wine. It also features a hearty selection of food, first opening with a Cold Dish Platter consisting of MonkFish Liver Sake, Crispy Fried Oyster with Cavier, Black Gold Prawn Dumplings and more. Dig into some warm dishes next: stewed mee sua with pan-fried scallops, as well as a piping lobster broth akin to a loving hug. What’s a feast without dessert? Complete your meal with a sweet and chilled avocado pudding topped with coconut ice cream.

Address: Jewel Changi Airport #01 - 219-222
Operating hours: Opens daily from 11:30am to 4:00pm, 5:00pm to 10:00pm 

4. Hitoyoshi Izakaya

There are a few things that are better as a pair. Like peanut butter and jam, Christmas get-togethers are often better when paired with delicious drinks. 

You don’t need an excuse to get a little buzzed for the yuletide season—Hitoyoshi Izakaya’s Highball Tower is refreshing for every occasion. This time though, the towers are running at a promotional price of S$38 (U.P. S$58). Pick between two of its all-time favourites: The Lychee and Yuzu. If you’re feeling more adventurous, get the popcorn flavour instead. 

For some light bites to pair with your drinks, try the grilled Yaki Corn Ribs (S$9). Another unique find is the Sakana no Hoshi Mori (S$33), a mixed platter inclusive of grilled stingray fin, sardine sheet and pufferfish. 

What’s more, this lovely Japanese Izakaya is set against the panoramic waterfall view of Jewel’s HSBC Rain Vortex. Talk about good views and a good time.

Address: Jewel Changi Airport #05-205

Within the platter, you’ll find a demi-glazed bread bowl accompanied by irresistible bites such as black pepper roast beef, chicken katsu, fried shrimp, teriyaki chicken and mozarella cheese. 

Aside from that, you’ll get to have a taste of its Toasty Winterland (S$13.90)—a dessert-based dish where honey-buttered toast cubes are served alongside ice cream, raspberry sauce, fresh fruits, marshmallows and walnuts. 

To quench your thirst, get The Grinch (S$4.90), a refreshing green apple fizz topped with lime and nata de coco.

7. TONITO Latin American Kitchen

Fancy a cosy family-friendly Christmas dinner? Head on down to Tonitos located in Jewel. Serving Latin American staples like Mexican quesadillas, tapas and Peruvian stews, this is its only restaurant in Singapore. 

For this year’s Christmas, it has prepared a seven-course festive set menu (available from 24 December 2022 to 1 January 2023, priced at S$150++) to wow diners. Some noteworthy dishes from the set include the Cevechie Tonito—a plateful of Hokkaido baby scallops, mango tiger’s milk, ikura, onion and tomatoes.

Another great meaty pick is the Panqueques de Maiz—a sweet mix comprising crispy pork belly, yellow chilli sauce, crackling pork skin and purple cabbage. Better yet, the set menu even includes two complimentary cocktails! 

For something more convenient, you can get its Family Bundle for 4 pax (S$138.03) from Changi Eats, delivered straight to your doorstep. It comes with Latin American classics such as quesadilla, sudado pescado (a tangy and flavourful fish stew with vegetables), arroz con cangrejo (creamy coconut rice with crab), tallarin saltado (stir-fried noodles with an asian twist) and more.
