This Christmas, we brought Marina Bay Sands to life with a beautifully bespoke children's activity book starring Noel the Nutcracker Butler and Rori, the hotel’s adventurous lion mascot. Designed exclusively for the festive season, this publication combines the magic of the Nutcracker world with the unique spirit of Marina Bay Sands—highlighting its iconic architecture, vibrant amenities and unmatched location along the Singapore skyline.
Every page was thoughtfully adapted and localised to showcase the property's unique experiences, from the SkyPark Infinity Pool to the ArtScience Museum. It celebrates storytelling, place-making and the festive wonder of Christmas—crafted specifically for families staying at this extraordinary destination.

Unique Hotel Property Stories We Created
Here are examples of how we applied our key storytelling building blocks in this custom kids activity book to highlight the unique identity of the hotel property:
Define the Guest Experience and Journey
We crafted festive themed activities that bring families through key areas of Marina Bay Sands, all specially aligned with the hotel’s unique 2026 Christmas concept, The Nutcracker Christmas.
An example is "Rori’s Festive Bingo", where children explore the property to find unique Christmas decorations set up specifically for this year’s celebration. From sparkling installations in the lobby to festive displays near the shops and attractions, each decoration encourages young guests to look closely, wander further and experience the holiday magic of the property through playful discovery.
We also wove the hotel’s signature attractions into the Christmas theme to create activities that feel distinctly Marina Bay Sands. One example is “A Merry Voyage,” a festive spot-the-difference challenge set along the iconic indoor canal. In this activity, children compare two illustrations of the familiar bridge overlooking the Sampan boat ride, now adorned with twinkling decorations and whimsical Christmas touches.
By blending beloved property landmarks with seasonal magic, each activity helps children recognise and reconnect with the spaces they explore during their stay.
To help families discover and explore everything that Marina Bay Sands has to offer, we created a simple yet effective exploration checklist featuring key attractions. The "Our Bright Stars" activity page highlights on-site attractions such as the Digital Light Canvas, the Spectra Light & Water Show, and the Hotel Gift Shop. Each attraction includes a fun star-rating section that encourages kids to visit, observe and share what they enjoyed most.
Each activity in the book was thoughtfully designed to accompany families as they make their way through the Marina Bay Sands experience, guiding them from one iconic space to the next. Every page also complements this year’s unique Christmas theme while reflecting moments guests encounter throughout their stay. Together, these activities create a cohesive, story-led journey that blends holiday magic with the signature offerings of Marina Bay Sands.

Explore the Environment and Surroundings
We also wanted the guest journey to continue beyond the property, encouraging families to explore the iconic attractions around Marina Bay Sands. One example is "Super Christmas Tree", a creative colouring activity where kids add festive touches to the iconic Supertrees from the nearby Gardens by the Bay.
By incorporating nearby landmarks into the activity, we encourage families to connect their hotel experience with the wider Marina Bay area, motivating them to explore, learn more and embrace the festive spirit throughout Singapore.
