🎁 The 2025 Holidays at Universal Orlando: Magic, Mischief & Merry Memories 🎄✨

🎄 Where Holiday Magic Meets Movie Magic

Garland glimmers over the archways, palm trees twinkle with lights, and the smell of fresh gingerbread fills the air — it can only mean one thing: the Holidays at Universal Orlando Resort are back!

Running November 21 – January 4, this is the season where coasters meet carolers and every corner of the resort bursts with holiday cheer (and a bit of Grinchy mischief 💚).

🧙‍♂️ Christmas in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter™ (Three Lands of Magic!)

This year brings something truly spellbinding — for the first time ever, the magic extends into Wizarding Paris inside Universal Epic Universe! 🌟

✨ Experience holiday decor and seasonal shows across Hogsmeade™ in Islands of Adventure, Diagon Alley™ in Universal Studios Florida, and Wizarding Paris in Epic Universe.

🎵 Sing along to Celestina Warbeck and the Banshees as they belt out favorites like “My Baby Gave Me a Hippogriff for Christmas.”

🐸 The Frog Choir adds harmonious cheer with wizarding carols.

🏰 And don’t miss The Magic of Christmas at Hogwarts™ Castle — a spectacular projection show lighting up the night.

🎁 Pro Tip: To visit both Hogsmeade™ and Diagon Alley™, you’ll need a Park-to-Park ticket to ride the Hogwarts Express™ (which is a different experience each way).

🎈 Universal’s Holiday Parade featuring Macy’s®

A holiday tradition with a Florida twist! 🎈See larger-than-life balloons, festive floats, and over 100 performers starring the Minions, Shrek, and Madagascar crew — plus a snow-filled finale with Santa himself.

🎄 Pro Tips:

• Arrive 25–30 minutes early for the best viewing spots.

• Use the Universal Orlando Resort App to check parade start times and map routes.

💚 Grinchmas™ in Seuss Landing™

The Whos are out in full force for The Grinchmas Who-liday Spectacular, complete with Mannheim Steamroller’s music and the mean green star himself. 💚

✨ Meet The Grinch at Honk Honkers for photos and funny banter.

🥞 Book The Grinch & Friends Character Breakfast at Circus McGurkus Café Stoo-pendous (select dates only).

⭐ New for 2025: Epic Universe Joins the Holidays

Universal Epic Universe is celebrating its first holiday season in 2025 with seasonal decor and festive touches throughout Celestial Park and its themed lands.

🎄 Don’t miss North Star Wintry Wonders, a year-round Christmas shop offering holiday merch and personalized ornaments.

🪄 Inside Wizarding Paris, expect magical decor and new photo ops for the season.

🍬 Select restaurants and kiosks will serve limited-time holiday treats and drinks.

While Epic Universe won’t have a full holiday lineup like the other parks (yet!), its seasonal decor adds even more sparkle to Universal’s holiday celebration.
