Overview
- Universal announced the 2026 holiday lineup on Thursday, August 6, 2026, confirming the season will run from November 14, 2026 through January 3, 2027.
- For the first time Epic Universe will get seasonal overlays in SUPER NINTENDO WORLD and How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk, while Celestial Park will feature a ‘cosmic winter wonderland.’
- Longstanding traditions return across the resort, including Christmas in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at all three locations, Grinchmas at Seuss Landing, and Universal’s Holiday Parade featuring Macy’s.
- Most in-park holiday décor and entertainment are included with regular park admission, but the separately ticketed Universal Holiday Tour is on sale for select dates Nov. 14–Jan. 2 starting at $69.99 and includes meet‑and‑greets and reserved viewing.
- CityWalk and all 11 on-site hotels will carry seasonal overlays and promotional offers, and the longer season plus Epic Universe integration is likely meant to boost guest demand and spread attendance across more lands.
