Universal Studios announces its holiday season

Universal Orlando Resort is ready for the holiday season, and guests can enjoy the festivities from November 25 through January 1, 2023.

“Anyone can ‘Ho-ho-ho’ and “‘Fa-la-la’ for the holidays. But if you want to scream, laugh and shout your jingle bells off, you’ve got to awesome up your holiday at Universal Orlando Resort, where we do the holidays big time. It’s the biggest, loudest, awesomest holiday celebration of the season,” said The Universal website.

Universal fans can get ready for the Universal’s very own Holiday Parade, featuring Macy’s, Christmas in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Grinchmas and more. Tickets are available now for Universal’s Holiday Tour and The Grinch & Friends Character Breakfast.

Here’s what to expect from a few of the holiday festivities.

Christmas in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter

Potter fans can enjoy the transformation of Hogsmeade into a holiday wonderland — wizard style. Listen to acapella holiday music while shopping for seasonal holiday gifts. At night, there will be a light show with animation and music from the “Harry Potter” films.
