UNIVERSAL STUDIOS HOLLYWOOD NOW FEATURES…. Grinchmas in Whoville, The magic of Christmas in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, and a Nintendo Noel with Mario, Luigi, and Princess Peach! I went last night and had a blast.
The park is all decked out for the holidays. It’s beautiful and definitely put me in the Christmas Spirit!
The Christmas season lasts until January 6, 2025. So come out and enjoy the holiday decorations, special menu items, and entertainment events.
SUPER NINTENDO WORLD: Outside the entrance, by the warp pipe: There will be a Mushroom Kingdom inspired tree featuring a Super Star topper, festive wreath and two snowmen — one donning a red Mario hat and scarf and the other a green Luigi hat and scarf — so you can make your own holiday card picture with you and your family of gamers.
And inside the world, there will be fanciful Christmas decorations, new merchandise celebrating the season with the characters from the games…
Also, there is a limited time menu of seasonal treats at Toadstool Cafe. And there’s a brand-new Frosted Glacier interactive area now open. That features a super active play wall that will give you a mini cardio boost and lots more coins to add to your tally.
WIZARDING WORLD MAGIC: Enjoy warm Butterbeer and carols with the Frog Choir at Hogsmeade village. And the magical village will also be stocked with lots of new merchandise from the Wizarding World which are great gift ideas for yourself or your fellow Harry Potter appreciators.
In the evenings, be sure to make time to see this year’s “The Magic of Christmas at Hogwarts Castle” show which illuminates the exterior with a mesmerizing light projection show. It plays from well known cues from John Williams’ iconic scores and specifically from scenes having to do with the holidays at Hogwarts.
GRINCHMAS RETURNS: As the green and grumpy Grinch returns to harass Whoville’s most beloved citizens, as they prepare for Christmas. Happening daily at the Upper Lot’s Who-bilation in Universal Plaza.
There will be nightly tree lighting ceremonies for the towering 65-foot-tall Grinchmas tree, which stands whimsically at the heart of Who-ville. Also, look for the Who-inspired doo-wop singing quartet to make their grand return.
The area will also feature new Grinchmas inspired treats and drinks. There will also be photo opportunities with the Grinch and his faithful dog Max, story time with Cindy-Lou Who, who shares the story of “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” with guests young and old, and a visit to the Who-ville post office to mail a joyous postcard sharing three good deeds.
