Mochiak and AhWoo — the homegrown characters doodled into existence by local creator Charmaine Teo — are making their first-ever mall collaboration debut. Running from 13 November 2026 to 3 January 2027, the lovable duo, joined by their cheeky feline pal Nana, are stepping out of our phone screens and taking over four Lendlease malls across the island: 313@somerset, Jem, Parkway Parade, and Paya Lebar Quarter (PLQ).
It is a refreshingly local spin on Christmas decor that moves away from standard tinsel and leans into warm, everyday Singaporean humour.
Distinct holiday vibes across four neighbourhoods
Rather than rolling out identical cardboard cutouts at every site, each mall has shaped its installations around the personality of its neighbourhood:
313@somerset: Right in the bustle of Orchard Road, things get sugary sweet with glowing pastry-laden entrance arches, an outdoor canopy of candy arches along Discovery Walk, and an indoor centrepiece tree set up like a festive holiday bake-off.
Jem: Over in Jurong, the trio trades the sugar rush for a calm garden retreat on Level 2. Think tiered fountains, snow-dusted trees, and park benches where you can sit beside the characters dressed in full Santa gear.
Parkway Parade: Channelling strong East Coast pride, the Marine Parade mall pairs the trio with a nostalgic, snowy Peranakan backdrop lined with gingerbread shophouses.
Paya Lebar Quarter: Head to PLQ Plaza to catch a towering seven-metre Christmas tree encircled by festive kiosks, before heading over to the PLQ Parkside lawn, where Mochiak and friends run a lively outdoor holiday market.
Collectable merch, pop-ups, and a sticker rally
For stationery and merch enthusiasts, a roving pop-up shop will travel between all four malls across the season, giving fans a chance to grab limited-edition goodies:
- PLQ Plaza: 13–26 November 2026
- Parkway Parade (Basement Airwell): 27 November – 6 December 2026
- 313@somerset (Basement 2): 7–20 December 2026
- Jem (Level 2, outside IKEA): 21 December 2026 – 3 January 2027
If you fancy a mini adventure, there is an official sticker rally running alongside the tour. Pick up an exclusive character sticker at each mall’s pop-up, and if you manage to collect all four, you can unlock a special bonus sticker at the final Jem stop while stocks last.
Shoppers spending at the malls can also redeem practical festive keepsakes. Spend $180 at 313@somerset to take home a character Magnetic Cardholder Phone Stand, or hit $280 at Jem, Parkway Parade, or PLQ to redeem a foldable umbrella in a colourway exclusive to each location (red at Jem, navy at Parkway Parade, and cream at PLQ).
Games, festive perks, and giving back
Holiday retail therapy also comes with a digital perk. On the Lendlease Plus app, shoppers can play Mochiak & AhWoo’s Treasure Run — a lane-swiping mini-game where players dodge banana peels and collect fruit to win a slice of 350,000,000 Plus$ worth $175,000 in Lendlease E−Vouchers. Every $25 spent earns a run, with the game running right through Chinese New Year until 21 February 2027
The season also brings thoughtful community moments. Shoppers can have their gifts wrapped in exchange for donations to the Singapore Red Cross at dedicated stations across all four malls. On selected dates in mid-December, volunteers from NTU’s Regular Service Project Deaf Community (NTU RSPDC) will also take the stage at 313@somerset and PLQ Plaza, performing Christmas carols through Singapore Sign Language.
Between roaming Santa meet-and-greets, live carollers, and new food arrivals like Shake Shack at Parkway Parade and Pura Brasa at PLQ, it is an easy excuse to tick off your Christmas shopping list while supporting local creativity.
