Universal Holiday's Celebration

Universal Orlando Resort invites guests to unwrap some awesome holiday offerings and let loose this holiday season during its Holiday celebration. This celebration begins November 12, 2022, and runs daily through January 1, 2023. Throughout the resort, guests can celebrate the most wonderful time of the year, featuring some of pop culture’s most beloved stories and characters 


This holiday season, theme park guests can gaze at the spectacle that is “The Magic of Christmas at Hogwarts Castle” in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Hogsmeade. Guest can also meet “the mean, green one himself,” the Grinch, during Grinchmas. How about some hot chocolate as you watch larger-than-life balloons and floats take the streets during Universal’s Holiday Parade featuring Macy’s and so much more.
​Universal Orlando Resort offers next-level cuisine for the whole family to enjoy this holiday season across the entire destination, including comforting classics, returning fan-favorite fare and tasty treats inspired by this year’s festivities.
​
  • Earl’s Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate Acorn Bomb (available at TODAY Café and Battery Park – located alongside the lagoon near Mel’s Drive-In): A holiday fan-favorite is back, now themed to the beloved, original Universal character – Earl the Squirrel. The delicious beverage consists of a chocolate acorn shell filled with salted caramel and mini marshmallows, served with Italian hot chocolate.

  • Roast Beast Sandwich (available at Circus McGurkus Café Stoo-pendous): Guests looking for comfort food flavors can savor the Roast Beast Sandwich – a mini meatloaf sandwich featuring French onion soup-dipped roast beef with a cheddar cheese sauce – and even a “secret” sauce – served on a pretzel bun.

  • Grinch-Themed Treats (available in Seuss Landing): Some of the traditional sweet flavors the season brings can be found in an array of unique Grinch-themed sweets, including a Grinch Hot Chocolate Bomb, a Grinch Ice Cream Sandwich, and Grinch cookies, among others.

  • Santa’s Cookies and Milk “Shake” (available at The Toothsome Chocolate Emporium & Savory Feast Kitchen): An iconic holiday treat comes to life as a delectable milkshake with Santa’s Cookies and Milk “Shake,” complete with cookie butter & vanilla ice cream, mini chocolate chip cookies, and topped with a delicious chocolate Christmas tree and sprinkles.
​
  • And for the seasonal cocktail aficionados, a selection of specialty beverages is available in Universal Studios Florida including:
    • The Nutty Nog, the classic Holiday treat with a creamy, frozen eggnog base
    • The Deluxe Nog, a luxurious Holiday drink served with Bacardi 8
    • The Fire Nog, a delicious liquid cinnamon-cream treat using fireball cinnamon whiskey
