PHOTOS: Christmas Has Arrived at Universal’s Wizarding World of Harry Potter!

The holidays are upon us, friends!

Christmas in Hogsmeade!

Universal Orlando is ringing in the season with Christmas face masks and hot Butterbeer! We popped into the park this evening and the park is being lit up with Christmas trees, wreaths, and more decorations! Come take a look at Universal’s magical new look!

Naturally, Seuss Landing was the first area to put up their holiday digs this season. Whoville is always in the holiday spirit and the Grinch definitely needed a little pick-me-up. Right away, we noticed that the entrance to Islands of Adventure received a few embellishments!
