Christmas is coming to Universal Studios Hollywood from Saturday November 21 until Sunday January 3 2027.
Holidays at Universal Studios Hollywood is included with general theme park admission and runs daily, decking the halls (and the rest of the park!) with holiday decorations and a whole host of festive activities and entertainment.
Grinchmas will transform Universal Plaza into a who-bilation, complete with a 65-foot tree. Adorned with hundreds of colourful ornaments and thousands of sparkling lights, the tree will be host to a tree lighting ceremony at times throughout the evening. A long-time fan-favourite character, the Grinch will be out for meet-and-greets, along with his dog, Max, and a roster of Who-ville Whos. Plus, guests can enjoy live entertainment and the Who–ville post office, where they can send postcards listing their three good deeds to The Grinch.
For the first time, Illumination’s Merry Minions will arrive to Illumination’s Minion Land, transforming the area with festive decorations. There’ll be a special meet and greet with the Minions in their festive holiday attire, as well as seasonal bites available for purchase at Minion Cafe.
Over at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Hogsmeade village will be decorated with garlands, wreaths and lights. Guests will be able to catch the beloved Frog Choir filling the air with seasonal music, and ‘The Magic of Christmas at Hogwarts™ Castle’ nighttime show is set to transform the iconic Hogwarts castle into a festive light show, set to music from films.
Super Nintendo World will also be getting a holiday makeover, with decorations including Mario and Luigi snowmen next to a holiday tree crowned with a shining Super Star.
You can find out more about the holiday celebrations on the Universal Studios Hollywood website.
