Christmas in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter The themed lands of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios Florida and Universal’s Islands of Adventure will magically transform for the holidays with themed decorations, garlands, and lights throughout the streets of Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley.
Guests can also enjoy special holiday-themed performances from the Hogwarts Frog Choir in Hogsmeade and “the wizarding world’s most popular singing sensation,” Celestina Warbeck and the Banshees, in Diagon Alley.
When night falls in Hogsmeade, guests can experience “The Magic of Christmas at Hogwarts Castle,” a spectacular show projected on the façade of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry that celebrates the holiday spirit and recalls Christmas moments inspired by the “Harry Potter” stories.

Fan-favorite characters from the popular “Despicable Me,” “Shrek,” and “Madagascar” franchises – along with larger-than-life balloons, holiday floats, and hundreds of performers – take to the streets of Universal Studios Florida during Universal’s Holiday Parade featuring Macy’s.
