Storefronts, attraction signs and even popcorn stands are now dressed with care.

When the holiday season begins, guests will see Whos spreading Christmas cheer around the Suess land as well as at the “Grinchmas Who-liday Spectacular,” a live retelling of the classic tale “How the Grinch Stole Christmas.”

Meantime, at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter Hogsmeade, Hogwarts Castle will come alive in the holiday spectacular “The Magic of Christmas at Hogwarts Castle.”

As family members walk around the land, they can also sip on hot butterbeer and hear Christmas carols from the Frog Choir comprised of Hogwarts students.

Meanwhile at Universal Studios, the holidays will have to wait a tad bit longer. The theme park is in the final week of Halloween Horror Nights, which wraps up on Halloween night.

For guests who cannot contain their holiday excitement, they can visit the Port of Entry Christmas Shoppe near the entrance to Islands of Adventure.

Universal said on its website that guests can find character-inspired ornaments, stockings, decorations, souvenirs, and more, all with enough festive flair to rival the North Pole.
