The holiday season is upon us, and Universal Orlando Resort is ready to deliver a sleigh-full of fun, magic, and excitement starting this Friday, November 22!
If you’re dreaming of a holiday filled with fantastical adventures, larger-than-life parades, and mouth-watering seasonal treats, Universal Orlando is the place to be.
Here’s why you’ll want to pack your festive spirit and head straight to this seasonal extravaganza running through December 31.
Where Holiday Dreams Come True
Universal Orlando is pulling out all the stops with destination-wide holiday celebrations inspired by your favourite characters and stories.
From the spellbinding streets of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter to the whimsical world of Dr. Seuss, every corner is brimming with holiday cheer.
Here’s a sneak peek at what you can expect:
Christmas in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter
Step into Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley, where Christmas magic fills the air. Marvel at twinkling lights, enchanting holiday decor, and seasonal performances.
Don’t miss the stunning spectacle, “The Magic of Christmas at Hogwarts Castle,” an unforgettable show that will leave your heart as warm as a mug of Hot Butterbeer (which you can totally sip while soaking in the magic).
Grinchmas: A Who-tastic Celebration
Who wouldn’t want to spend the holidays with everyone’s favourite green grouch?
At Grinchmas, wander through a live version of Who-ville, meet the Grinch himself, and enjoy the Grinchmas Who-liday Spectacular – a stage show retelling the beloved Dr. Seuss classic.
Universal’s Holiday Parade featuring Macy’s
The streets of Universal Studios transform into a parade of joy with towering balloons, dazzling floats, and fan-favorite characters spreading holiday cheer.
It’s like the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, but with even more magic (and without needing to bundle up).
Shop Till You Drop at the Holiday Tribute Store
The holidays get an extra sprinkle of magic at this year’s Holiday Tribute Store, where pop-up books come to life across four themed rooms.
From Hogsmeade-inspired decor to Grinchmas goodies (slippers and ornaments galore!) and even Earl the Squirrel merch, it’s the ultimate one-stop shop for holiday treasures.
Don’t forget to try the seasonal treats here, too!
Seasonal Eats and Sweet Treats
If the thought of peppermint cheesecake, pistachio holiday wreaths, and Grinch-themed goodies doesn’t make your mouth water, the Ugly Sweater Shake at Toothsome Chocolate Emporium certainly will.
This Instagram-worthy shake is as festive as it is delicious—complete with a sugar cookie “ugly sweater” on top!
And the culinary magic doesn’t stop there. From roasted chestnut desserts to holiday cocktails at The Green & Red Coconut Club, Universal has something to satisfy every craving.
Festivities Beyond the Parks
The holiday magic extends to Universal CityWalk and Universal Orlando’s on-site hotels, where the spirit of the season is alive with twinkling lights, festive menus, menorah lightings, and even meet-and-greets with Earl the Squirrel.
Pro tip: Celebrate New Year’s Eve with live entertainment, midnight countdowns, and after-hours fun at select venues.
