Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Orlando Resort is in full on scare mode but it doesn't mean we can't look forward to the holidays, as November will be here before we know it!
Holidays at Universal Orlando Resort will be a destination-wide celebration from Nov. 12, 2022 – Jan. 1, 2023, featuring the fan favorite stories and characters we know at love during the holiday season at Universal.
From Christmas in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter and Grinchmas to Universal’s Holiday Parade featuring Macy’s and performances by Mannheim Steamroller, Holidays at Universal Orlando Resort will celebrate the most wonderful time of the year with epic festivities that can’t be experienced anywhere else – and it’s all included in admission to the theme parks.
Holidays at Universal Orlando Resort Will Include:
Christmas in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter The themed lands of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios Florida and Universal’s Islands of Adventure will magically transform for the holidays with themed decorations, garlands, and lights throughout the streets of Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley.
Guests can also enjoy special holiday-themed performances from the Hogwarts Frog Choir in Hogsmeade and “the wizarding world’s most popular singing sensation,” Celestina Warbeck and the Banshees, in Diagon Alley.
When night falls in Hogsmeade, guests can experience “The Magic of Christmas at Hogwarts Castle,” a spectacular show projected on the façade of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry that celebrates the holiday spirit and recalls Christmas moments inspired by the “Harry Potter” stories.
Universal’s Holiday Parade featuring Macy’s
Fan-favorite characters from the popular “Despicable Me,” “Shrek,” and “Madagascar” franchises – along with larger-than-life balloons, holiday floats, and hundreds of performers – take to the streets of Universal Studios Florida during Universal’s Holiday Parade featuring Macy’s.
Santa Claus even appears during a snowy finale that culminates with the lighting of the park’s 80-foot Christmas Tree.
Grinchmas The Grinchiest time of year is celebrated at Seuss Landing in Universal’s Islands of Adventure with the “Grinchmas Who-liday Spectacular” – a live musical retelling of Dr. Seuss’s holiday classic starring the Grinch.
The Grinchmas celebration continues throughout Seuss Landing, which will be adorned with whimsical holiday décor, including oversized candy canes and twisting Christmas trees. Guests can also enjoy special appearances by the merry Whos from Who-ville as they prepare for their favorite holiday – and even meet the mean one himself for a special photo opportunity.
