Chinese New Year always arrives faster than expected. One moment it feels like there is still time, and the next, reunion dinners, gift exchanges, and home visits are already on the calendar. For many households in Singapore, planning for the festive season comes with a familiar concern – how to prepare a generous celebration without overspending. This is where NTUC FairPrice’s Chinese New Year Must-Buys Promotion from 8 to 14 January 2026 becomes particularly relevant.
FairPrice has long been a trusted destination for everyday essentials, but during festive seasons, they often step things up with carefully curated promotions that focus on value, practicality, and quality. This Chinese New Year promotion is no exception. It brings together premium abalone gift sets, ready-to-serve treasure pots, reunion dinner ingredients, and popular festive snacks, all offered at meaningful discounts in Singapore Dollars ($). For shoppers who enjoy stretching their dollar while still serving and gifting well, this promotion deserves attention.
One of the strongest highlights of this promotion is the range of premium abalone gift sets. Gifting during Chinese New Year carries cultural meaning, symbolising respect, prosperity, and good fortune. Abalone, in particular, is associated with abundance and success, making it one of the most popular gifts during the festive period. However, it is also known for its premium pricing. FairPrice addresses this concern by offering a wide selection of gift sets across different price points, allowing shoppers to choose according to their budget without compromising on presentation or quality.
At the higher end, the NEW MOON Premium Treasure 3s Gift Set is priced at $125.80, reduced from the usual $149.80, offering a saving of $24. This set includes premium wild-caught New Zealand abalone alongside Australian abalone, making it suitable for those who want to present a more luxurious gift to elders, in-laws, or business associates. The SKYLIGHT Gold 6s Gift Set, priced at $103.90 per set, also stands out for its generous assortment, featuring Australian superior abalone and Prince abalone. These options cater well to shoppers who value variety and premium sourcing.
For those who prefer thoughtful gifting without overspending, the affordable gift sets are where this promotion truly shines. The FORTUNE Double Happiness Gift Set (2s) is priced at $42.80, down from $65.60, representing a saving of $22.80. That is close to 35% off, making it one of the most value-for-money abalone gift sets available during this festive period. This option works well for multiple visits, neighbours, or extended family gatherings, where maintaining quality while keeping costs under control matters. Similarly, the SKYLIGHT Twice The Gold 2s Gift Set at $45.00 per set provides another balanced choice for festive gifting.
Beyond gifting, Chinese New Year celebrations revolve around food, especially the reunion dinner. Preparing a lavish spread can be time-consuming and costly, which is why ready-to-serve dishes and discounted premium ingredients are especially appealing. FairPrice’s promotion places the spotlight on the NEW MOON Premium Prosperity Abalone Treasure Pot (1.8kg), priced at $89.90 instead of $119.80, offering a 24% saving. Treasure pots, or pen cai, are traditionally associated with prosperity and abundance, but they often require hours of preparation. This ready-to-heat option allows families to serve a centrepiece dish with minimal effort, freeing up time to focus on spending quality moments together.
Other reunion dinner essentials are also included in the promotion. The LEE KUM KEE Mini Abalone in Clear Soup (425g) is priced at $14.95, reduced from $26.80, delivering an impressive 44% saving. This product works well as a supplementary dish or as part of a multi-course meal. PASAR Japanese Tea Flower Mushrooms (150g) are available on a Buy 2 Get 1 Free deal at $16.00 per pack, making them a practical pantry addition. Mushrooms are commonly used in braised dishes and soups during Chinese New Year, and this deal allows households to stock up without paying extra later. The SEACO Haddock Loin (227g) at $6.80, down from $10.00, offers a 32% saving and adds another protein option for home-cooked festive meals.
Chinese New Year is not just about main meals. Hosting relatives and friends means ensuring the snack table is well-stocked and drinks are readily available. FairPrice includes a range of festive snacks and treats that are suitable for sharing. MERCI Great Variety (400g) is priced at $16.90 instead of $24.80, offering a 31% saving and providing a mix of chocolates that appeal to different age groups. SCS Butter Cookies (210g) at $13.45 offer a modest saving, but their familiar taste makes them a reliable choice for festive visits. WHITTAKER’S Share Pack (180g) at $9.95 delivers a 13% saving, while FAIRPRICE Flavoured Cashews (100g) are available at 2 for $7.80, down from 2 for $9.80, making them ideal for refillable snack jars at home.
What makes this FairPrice Chinese New Year promotion particularly appealing is its practicality. Instead of focusing solely on luxury items, it balances premium festive products with everyday essentials that households will genuinely use. The promotion period from 8 to 14 January 2026 also provides a reasonable window for shoppers to plan their purchases, whether they prefer early preparation or last-minute top-ups.
There are, of course, a few important points to note. All offers are valid within the stated dates, product availability may vary by store, and items are offered while stocks last. Traders are not allowed, which helps ensure regular shoppers benefit from the deals. Checking the full e-catalogue or visiting nearby FairPrice outlets early is advisable, especially for popular items like abalone gift sets and treasure pots.
Overall, this promotion offers a strong combination of value, convenience, and festive relevance. Budget-conscious gifters will appreciate the significant savings on abalone gift sets, particularly the Fortune Double Happiness Set. Families hosting reunion dinners will find the discounted treasure pot and cooking ingredients helpful in managing both time and expenses. Snack deals add the final touch, ensuring homes remain welcoming throughout the festive season.
For those preparing for Chinese New Year in Singapore, this NTUC FairPrice promotion presents a sensible opportunity to enjoy traditional celebrations without unnecessary financial stress. It demonstrates that festive abundance does not always have to come with a premium price tag, making it well worth a visit during the promotion period.
