Universal Orlando Resort announced new details and dates for
its destination-wide winter holidays celebration, which launches on November 22
and runs daily through December 31.
One of the cornerstones of Universal’s holiday experience is
Christmas in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Guests can grab a Hot
Butterbeer, enjoy holiday-themed performances by The Frog Choir, and dance
along with Celestina Warbeck and the Banshees in Diagon Alley.
As night falls in Hogsmeade, the nighttime spectacle, “The
Magic of Christmas at Hogwarts Castle,” returns, bringing to life a projection
show on Hogwarts Castle highlighting Christmas moments and holiday cheer.
For Dr. Seuss fans, they can partake in the classic How the
Grinch Stole Christmas stage show, “Grinchmas Who-liday Spectacular.” Seuss
Landing will also transport travelers directly to Who-ville where they will be
surrounded by whimsical holiday décor and enjoy special appearances from the
Whos and the Grinch.
Universal’s Holiday Parade featuring Macy’s is returning in
2024, including stories and characters from Despicable Me, Shrek, and
Madagascar, as well as cherished holiday traditions, come to life as
larger-than-life balloons and colorful holiday floats.
Guests will also be able to enjoy themed food and beverage,
shop seasonal merchandise from an all-new Holiday Tribute Store, enjoy meet and
greets with their favorite characters, and take part in an all-new Holiday
Nutcracker Hunt.
The Universal Holiday Tour will offer visitors the chance to
experience popular holiday attractions across the destination, which runs from November
25 through December 29. Pricing starts at $85.19 per person, and separate theme
