Holidays at Universal

Grinch

The holidays have started at Universal Orlando! Join the Grinch, Manheim Steamroller, and our friends in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter for all sorts of fun!

See the Grinchmas Wholiday Spectacular for a live retelling of the classic holiday tale starring the Grinch. You can also meet the Grinch himself and Earl the Squirrel, Universal’s mini celebrity, at various times of the day.

Listen to joyous holiday tunes by Celestina Warbeck and the Banshees, the Frog Choir, and the iconic holiday sensation, Manheim Steamroller. Manheim Steamroller will play live performances on the Music Plaza Stage at 7pm on Dec 3, 4, 10, & 11. Admission included with your park ticket.

Hogwarts Castle

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter will join in the festivities with holiday decor and the gorgeous projection show against the Hogwarts Castle on most nights from dusk to park close.

Holiday parade

Don’t miss the fun holiday parade featuring the gigantic Macy’s parade balloons, popular Universal characters, and of course, Santa Claus!

Of course, there will be plenty of holiday themed food for your belly and merchandise for your shopping list.

Holiday food

Special events include The Grinch™ & Friends Character Breakfast. Join the mean green one himself and the Whos too for a morning feast. Start your day with a tasty buffet with food and fun for everyone. Additional ticket purchase required.

You can also join in the celebration with the Universal Holiday Tour on this 4.5 hour evening event. Experience special meet and greets, foods, shows, and more during a special walking tour around the parks. Additional ticket purchase required.
