The holiday season is in full swing at Universal Studios Hollywood. The park is filled with holiday cheer. As soon as we entered the park our ears heard the sounds of many of our favorite Christmas songs. Park visitors gleefully strolled around, dressed in Christmas sweaters, Harry Potter themed wear, and Santa hats, and more. Restaurants were filled with people feasting on holiday treats and meals.
This awesome celebration of the season with the brings back fan favorites “Christmas in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter” and “Grinchmas” beginning Friday, November 25, 2022 and running daily through Sunday, January 1, 2023. All holiday festivities are included in the price of theme park admission.
“Christmas in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter” brings the spirit of the holiday season to the village of Hogsmeade, which is transformed with festive décor and merriment. Guests can savor a delicious Hot Butterbeer while enjoying a special holiday a capella performance from the Hogwarts Frog Choir. Activities also include holiday shopping for exclusive items within the village shops, including personalized ornaments and notebooks, and dining on hearty holiday fare at Three Broomsticks.
As night falls on the snowy town, Hogwarts Castle will come to life in a dazzlingspectacle, “The Magic of Christmas at Hogwarts Castle.” The impressive light projection show will amaze audiences with its stunning imagery and animation as the castle infuses the land with joyous wonderment and features music and sounds from the Harry Potter film series.
The cheerful “Grinchmas” Who-bilation will return in jolly fashion to Universal Plaza,
located in the heart of the theme park. Festive park-goers can marvel in amazement at the topsy-turvy 65 foot-tall “Grinchmas” tree decorated with hundreds of ornaments and thousands of LED lights. Every evening, a jovial tree lighting ceremony will excite guests as they listen to the Grinch himself tell his story along with the Who-ville Whos, ending in a snowball flurry, bringing joy and merriment to all.
Even riding any of the rides like The Mummy Returns – The Tram, felt festive. People were laughing and having a good time.
