For 2009, the last (but not least) of the Christmas Tree of the Day series hails from Tanglin Mall. Made up of spheres and sprinkled with hundreds of twinkling lights, it is certainly an eye-catching piece of work.

Looking at the Christmas decorations, I would never have guessed that they are made from recycled materials! The innovative creation involves months of effort where staff went around collecting coconut husks, parking coupons, lottery tickets and fruit wrappers to churn them into beautiful works of festive art.

The hard work paid off as the mall wins this year’s Best Dressed Building title, beating out ten other competitors in Orchard Road including Orchard Central, Paragon, Ngee Ann City and The Heeren.

This is not the first time that the mall has gone green. Last year, their tree was made with shredded plastic bottles.

One big draw every year is the simulated snow storm. The snow may not be the real thing, but that does not stop the crowd from covering themselves in bubbles and engaging in snowball fights every night the snow falls!
