Universal Studios Enhances Holiday Experience with New Festivities
This holiday season, Universal Studios is bringing an array of exciting events to its parks, featuring the inclusion of Super Nintendo World alongside beloved seasonal celebrations like Grinchmas and Christmas in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. These holiday activities commence on Friday, November 29, and will be available daily until Monday, January 6, 2025, with all events included in the regular admission price.
Celebrating the Holidays in the Mushroom Kingdom
At Super Nintendo World, guests will have the unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the holiday magic of the Mushroom Kingdom with iconic characters such as Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, and Toad. A centerpiece of the celebration will be a festive tree featuring a Super Star topper, surrounded by a wreath and two charming snowmen — one wearing a red Mario hat and scarf, and the other adorned in green Luigi attire. This vibrant display is set to create memorable photo opportunities for visitors.
Inside the Mushroom Kingdom, the holiday spirit will be on full display with themed decorations. This year marks a first for the park, as guests can look forward to a selection of exclusive holiday merchandise at various retail locations, in addition to seasonal delights available at Toadstool Cafe.
Grinchmas and the Wizarding World Join the Festivities
Meanwhile, Grinchmas will continue to enchant visitors in the upper lot of the park. This experience features live performances and a towering 65-foot Christmas tree, designed in a whimsical, Seussian style. Fans of the classic Dr. Seuss tale can once again participate in photo opportunities with the Grinch and his trusty dog Max.
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter will also be transformed for the season, showcasing elaborate Christmas decorations that enhance the magical atmosphere. Guests can savor festive food options at the famed Three Broomsticks, along with a stunning projection show on Hogwarts Castle that will feature captivating imagery, perfectly embodying the enchantment of the holidays.
Universal CityWalk Gets into the Festive Spirit
Extending the holiday cheer, Universal CityWalk will be adorned with festive decorations and a remarkable 40-foot Christmas tree twinkling with over 200,000 LED lights. Visitors can enjoy live musical performances from bands and DJs, contributing to the celebratory ambience. Admission to CityWalk is completely free, allowing everyone to soak in the festive spirit.
