FULL Guide to the Holidays at Universal Orlando!

It’s time! The holidays have officially arrived at Universal Orlando and we’re ready to see everything the parks have to offer!

We’ve been watching holiday decor go up in the parks (including our favorite decorations at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter), and we’ve been preparing for everything in store this holiday season. So without further ado, let’s go see Universal’s Holidays Celebration!

Park Entrance Decorations

When you walk up to the entrance of Universal Studios, you’ll see the big sign for the holidays!

Sage is ready to show us around and tell us about everything there is to do during the holidays!

We’re here at Universal Studios to get a sneak peek at EVERYTHING coming for the holidays! 🎄 Stay tuned to follow along with us! #mediaevent pic.twitter.com/GNlUF1tevP

Characters

Hands down, one of the best things you can do during this time of year at Universal is meeting the Grinch!

While he crashed the media event we attended, you can meet him in Seuss Landing throughout the day. He’s sure to give you a good laugh!

Earl the Squirrel is also a fan favorite around this time of year!

We highly recommend snapping a picture with this guy when you visit Universal!

Earl the Squirrel is STYLIN’ for the holidays! A matching holiday sweater is SO going on my wishlist!#mediaevent pic.twitter.com/yy5foNoJPs

Grinchmas

We also got a sneak peek at the Grinchmas show. This is a stage show telling the story of The Grinch, of course!

The Universal Holiday Parade Featuring Macy’s

After dark, we watched the Universal Holiday Parade Featuring Macy’s.

This seasonal entertainment offering is a smaller version of the iconic Thanksgiving Day parade in New York City with a Universal twist!

You’ll see plenty of holiday floats and balloons…

…as well as Universal-themed ones.

Food

We also got a first look at some of the food!

It wouldn’t be the holiday season without FOOD! These are some of the offerings that will be available at Universal Orlando to celebrate! 🤤🎄#mediaevent pic.twitter.com/h27VPL3Hoj

We got to sample some of the food that is available during this time of year — read our full review on those here!

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter

One of the most magical places at Universal is Hogsmeade, part of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. It gets even BETTER at night!

Also, The Magic of Christmas at Hogwarts Castle has returned this year.

During the show, there are projections on Hogwarts and they are absolutely stunning!

Merchandise

Universal is known for its elaborately-themed Tribute Store, and let’s just say they go ALL OUT for the holidays. Before we check out the store, we got a look at this year’s merchandise!
