The magic of Christmas comes alive at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Hogsmeade transforms with enchanting spirit, festive décor, and holiday-themed food (cheers to a toasty mug of hot butterbeer!). At night, Hogwarts Castle is illuminated in a dazzling display of festive lights and music.
Is your heart two sizes too small? Perhaps you need a big dose of holiday cheer, courtesy of the Who-tacular festivities with The Grinch, Max, and Who-ville with the return of Grinchmas.
And Christmastime is Mario time, when you celebrate the holidays at Super Nintendo World.
The Grinch and Max are available for photo ops throughout the day; Cindy Lou Who leads a daily storytime of the Grinch tale. Who-ville's topsy-turvy 65 foot-tall “Grinchmas” tree is lit in a nightly ceremony, complete with a snowfall flurry.
Holiday treats and merchandise are available for purchase throughout the park.
The holiday festivities are included in the price of admission.
Additional cheer can be found on Citywalk, which is lit up by a spectacular 40-foot tall Christmas tree, featuring more than 200,000 LED lights. Sweet treats can be found at the Toothsome Chocolate Emporium and the new Hello Kitty and Friends Cafe.
