Running daily through Jan. 6, guests can celebrate the most wonderful time of year at Universal Orlando Resort’s destination-wide Holidays celebration. Guests of all ages will enjoy a Holiday celebration like no other where they can witness the magic of Christmas in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, watch all-new larger-than-life balloons and floats fill the streets during the all-new Universal’s Holiday Parade featuring Macy’s, uncover the true meaning of Grinchmas – and more.
NEW! Christmas in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter
For the first time ever, Christmas is coming to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando. Guests will be surrounded by uniquely themed Christmas decorations, garlands and lights as they walk the streets of Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley. They will also enjoy special holiday themed food and holiday performances by the Frog Choir and Celestina Warbeck and the Banshees. And as night falls, state-of-the-art projection mapping and lighting will wrap Hogwarts castle for “The Magic of Christmas at Hogwarts Castle” – which will bring incredible Christmas moments inspired by the Harry Potter series to life.
NEW! Universal’s Holiday Parade featuring Macy’s
Guests will experience an awe-inspiring and highly entertaining parade like no other during Universal’s Holiday Parade featuring Macy’s at Universal Studios Florida. Universal’s award-winning Entertainment team has worked to create a massive parade that will highlight traditional holiday favorites and some of today’s most popular characters. The all-new parade will feature more than 30 larger-than-life floats and balloons that can’t be seen anywhere else, plus more than 100 performers and appearances by the Minions and other favorite characters from Despicable Me, Madagascar and Shrek – and more.
Grinchmas
Guests will watch the Grinch’s heart grow three sizes during a live retelling of Dr. Seuss’s holiday classic in the “Grinchmas Who-liday Spectacular” and join the merry Whos from Who-ville as they celebrate the true meaning of the season and bring Grinchmas to life throughout Seuss Landing at Universal’s Islands of Adventure. And, on sale now, guests can enjoy a festive breakfast with the Grinch and his friends on select dates.
