This evening, 98 shoppers took part in The Great Croissant Hunt and celebrated with an inclusive Christmas lightup event. This year’s festivities emphasize inclusivity and community spirit, with the hunt’s winners invited to experience the sense of nostalgia, amidst the Christmas atmosphere at The Centrepoint, capturing joyful memories together.
The winners of The Great Croissant Hunt gather for the Christmas light-up at The Centrepoint, kicking off the holiday season together.
Crowning The First FRx Millionaire: The Great Croissant Hunt
The Great Croissant Hunt offered an inclusive holiday experience, inviting shoppers to discover 6 hidden golden croissants within The Centrepoint and embark on a quest to find Christmas icons scattered across the mall, as clues on The Centrepoint’s Facebook and Instagram pages added to the excitement.
Shoppers' excitement was palpable at the event, as 98 participants turned up at the Great Croissant Hunt. One family of six expressed that it was a meaningful way to spend their evening together, focusing on having fun and bonding, rather than competing to win. Another participant, who came on his own, expressed appreciation for the fun occasion. In the festive spirit of giving back during Christmas, he also mentioned that he would donate a portion of his winnings to charity, if he was one of the lucky winners.
Among participants, those with mobility needs also had full access to the game, making it a festive adventure open to everyone. One lucky winner, Ms Denise Gan walked away with a whopping 1 million FRx1 points! The joy of discovery, combined with accessible routes and clues, helped ensure every shopper had a memorable and rewarding experience.
Ms Gan said: “Christmas is such a joyous season – to me, it’s all about family, gatherings and spreading joy. The nostalgic decorations this year at The Centrepoint, especially the lights, are really beautiful and remind me of gingerbread houses. I also love the interactive elements as they add to the experience and make it even more engaging. I’ve always enjoyed scavenger hunts, and it was a great experience participating in the Great Croissant Hunt. Thanks to Frasers Property Singapore for organizing such an interesting event!"
Creating Calm: A Thoughtful, Inclusive Holiday Experience
As the season kicks off, Frasers Property Singapore is also launching “Creating Calm,” a unique Christmas pilot designed to foster inclusive and compassionate experiences. Recognizing that some may find the traditional festive environment of loud music and bright lights overwhelming or isolating, “Creating Calm” is a sensory-friendly pilot where visitors can enjoy a quieter, more comfortable atmosphere.
Shoppers with sensory needs can rent noise-cancelling headphones daily at The Centrepoint from 10am to 10pm, or enjoy a specially curated “A Calm Christmas Playlist” on Spotify for a quiet, soothing background to accompany their holiday experience.

In addition, Frasers Property Singapore is also reaching out to seniors who may feel isolated during the festive season through its ‘Silver Social Spaces’ programme. By bringing seniors together in a comfortable and welcoming setting, they are encouraged to step out of their homes, meet new people, and form a supportive community, helping to reduce feelings of loneliness and isolation. In turn, they can enjoy meaningful interactions, and reconnect with their communities in an inclusive way.
At the Christmas Makers’ Market sessions on 4, 11 and 18 December, seniors can connect with others through small-group workshops, where they can create personalized gifts and engage in meaningful interactions. These gatherings provide an opportunity to celebrate the season as part of a community, fostering a sense of belonging for all.
Christmas Makers’ Market: Celebrating Sustainability and Craftsmanship
