Pikachu starts weekend meet-and-greets at Changi Airport Terminal 3 on Saturday 14 November, a week before the year-end school holidays begin on 21 November. Snow is already falling every evening at the T3 PokéXciting! Stage, and Jewel’s own snowfall in Forest Valley started on 13 November.
All of it is free. None of it needs a boarding pass, apart from the transit parades and meet-and-greets for passengers flying out over the holidays.
Pikachu meet-and-greet dates and partners
Pikachu is joined by a different Pokémon on most dates. Sessions run at 2pm and 3pm at the PokéXciting! Stage and at 6.30pm at ST3PS, both in the Terminal 3 public area, so there are three chances to meet them on each date.
- 14 and 15 November: Pikachu and Eevee
- 21 and 22 November: Pikachu and Snorlax
- 5 and 6 December: Pikachu and Piplup
- 12 December: Pikachu and Gengar
- 13 December: Pikachu and Mimikyu
- 19 December: Pikachu and Snorlax
- 20 December: Pikachu and Gengar
Entry is first come, first served. A Meet and Greet Pass is handed out when the queue opens 30 minutes before each session, and once the passes for a session run out, no more are issued. There is no minimum spend. Changi does not provide event photos, so bring a phone or camera.
The T3 Light and Snow Show
The stage is on Level 2 of the Terminal 3 public area and is open 24 hours. The Light and Snow Show runs from 9 November to 3 January 2027.
- Weekdays: 7.30pm and 8.30pm
- Weekends: 7.30pm, 8.30pm and 9.30pm
No ticket, purchase or registration is needed to watch.
Let It Snow in Jewel’s Forest Valley
Jewel’s snowfall runs from 13 November to 3 January 2027 beside UNIQLO’s 16m Christmas tree, which has a brownstone house at its centre. The published show times are for Forest Valley, which is free to enter.
- Monday to Thursday: 8.05pm and 9.05pm
- Friday to Sunday, public holidays and their eves: 8.05pm, 9.05pm and 10.05pm
Jewel’s first fall of the night comes after the 7.30pm T3 show, so an evening at the airport can take in both. Upstairs, Canopy Park on Level 5 becomes a Starry Christmas with light displays and gingerbread characters, and that part needs a Canopy Park ticket.
If you are flying out in the holidays
Changi has also put Pokémon in the transit areas, which are open only to departing passengers who have cleared immigration. Snorlax, Piplup, Pikachu and Eevee parade through the transit (departure) areas of Terminals 1 to 4 on 21 and 22 November, 5 and 6 December, and 19 and 20 December, with morning and night sessions.
Four transit meet-and-greets are also set for December, again only for travellers in the transit area.
- Terminal 1 transit, 12 December, 12pm: Pikachu and Eevee
- Terminal 3 transit, 13 December, 8pm: Pikachu and Eevee
- Terminal 4 transit, 19 December, 9am: Pikachu and Eevee
- Terminal 2 transit, 20 December, 9pm: Pikachu and Piplup
The full meet-and-greet schedule sits with Changi Festive Village, which runs across all four terminals to 3 January 2027. Jewel’s Christmas displays stay up to 3 January, and its Pokémon activities continue to 31 January.
