Christmas 2025: Where to get your hands on the best panettone in Singapore

The festive period is almost upon us, which means it’s time to feast. In Singapore, hotels and restaurants are gearing up for Christmas 2025 with decadent spreads featuring turkeys, roasts, and, of course, dessert. Along with log cakes and gingerbread that are always in the spotlight, panettone has also found a place on the festive table, even in Singapore.

Known for its tall, domed shape with a soft and fluffy interior, panettone’s history dates back to the 15th century in Milan, where it was originally made as a luxurious treat for special occasions. The preparation of this iconic Italian sweet bread is both an art and a science. It begins with rich dough that undergoes a slow and careful fermentation lasting several hours or days. The fermentation process is key to developing its signature airy texture and depth. After the initial rise, candied fruits, nuts and flavourings are folded in before being shaped into tall molds. A final proofing allows the bread to expand before it’s baked until golden.

Over the centuries, panettone has evolved from its simple beginnings to an artisanal delicacy, with bakeries around the world adding their own unique spin to the traditional bread. Despite these innovations, its core elements remain: a tender dough enriched with butter and eggs.

In Singapore, we see restaurants and bakeries increasingly adding this festive favorite to the spread. Along with classic flavours, chefs have also dreamed up their own take on the traditional sweet bread. Here are the best places to get your hands on decadent panettone in Singapore this Christmas 2025.
